RUGBY, LENS - England v Americas 3
Lens was once one of the most important coal centres in France, and is famous for its University and Art Deco railway station in the shape of a steam train. Situated in the heart of the Artois in the Nord Pas-de-Calais region. Lens is a friendly, welcoming city with a great selection of bars and restaurants. Lens is close to some of World War One's most important sites, including the Vimy Ridge Memorial. Modern attractions include the nearby Loisinord, the first year-round artificial ski resort in France. However the most renowned landmark is perhaps the Stade Felix Bollaert, home to the football club Racing of Lens. The stadium, built in 1932 holds up to 41800 people-about 4000 more than the current population of Lens.
