“WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS” say the Boks and our winners by Nandi Canning* Bergman’s unforgettable line to Bogart plenty of time to explore. My group chose to visit ‘we’ll always have Paris’ has become the Montmartre, a beautiful part of the city, the location shared property of the Springboks and of the Basilique du Sacre-Coeur and the suburb artists the competition winners of PMSA’s Rugby World like Picasso and Van Gogh called home. Cup promotion. PEugEOT & Rugby ‘It is something that few of us would have been in a position to do without Peugeot’s generous gift.’ anthony burns The script of Casablanca takes some beating, but the Boks’ triumph and the Paris trip of a lifetime by our winners must have come close. Peugeot, a lead sponsor at the Rugby World Cup and the tournament’s preferred motoring brand, laid on the match tickets and the Paris hospitality for PMSA’s South African contingent. ‘Calling all passengers boarding Air France AF995 to Paris’ was the announcement that set the dream in motion for our competition winners – Lungelwa Nabe, Adam Franks, Donovan Botha, Anthony Burns and Willie Bezuidenhout – and their partners. They were accompanied by SA Marketing Director Mike Wilson and myself on the 11-hour flight to Charles de Gaulle Airport, and then through the infamous Paris traffic to the hotel. After freshening up, everyone climbed aboard the City Tour bus to see the sights – the Louvre, the Seine, the Musee d’Orsay and Notre Dame – and take lunch in a street-side café. A leisurely walk through the streets of Paris brought us back to our hotel and limbered up our team for an evening at the Lido, lashings of French cuisine and a brilliant show. Friday the 14th September saw the group catch the Metro to the Eiffel Tower, where we climbed over 600 stairs to the second level and then caught a lift to the top. After the morning’s exercise, it was lunch on the Seine followed by an afternoon at leisure, giving you By the time we headed out to the Stade de France for the SA-England group encounter, Paris was already dotted with green and gold and white jerseys in anticipation of the match. The Boks’ 36-0 win was awesome. You just had to be there. And we were! On Saturday we were up early for a tour of the Bridges of Paris, a chance to catch up on Paris history and juicy gossip about France down the centuries. It was an enlightening morning thanks to accounts of a statue of Henry IV of France stuffed with a bust of Napoleon to tales of how city dwellers were taxed according to the number of bodies of family members they dumped in the Seine. The group then proceeded to lunch at Notre Dame, where the adventurous ate frog’s legs and steak tartare. In the evening, the group went on the Bateaux Mouches for a scenic boat trip down the Seine. Dinner was served and everyone had a magnificent final evening catching the sights of Paris at night from their table and the viewing deck. All too soon on the Sunday morning we were whisked back to Charles de Gaulle Airport for our return flight home. Finally, we had a chance to get some sleep and absorb the dream trip and that dream of a win! *Nandi Canning is the Promotions and Events Specialist at PMSA.
