Ok here we go, starting with Paris.........

The best place in Paris to watch rugby on the big screen. The Eden Park Café is owned and operated by a group of ex-rugbymen from the Racing Club de France who, in their playing days, were collectively called Showbiz for their outlandish get-ups and wacky antics on and off the field. Today the bar is part of a growing empire that includes the Eden Park line of sportswear. The place is very nice with its wooden and metal décor.
