France’s upcoming practices at Bentley University may be shrouded in secrecy, but the World Cup team gave a sneak peek inside their accommodations at Boston’s Four Seasons Hotel after they arrived Wednesday.
The tour was courtesy of defender Jules Koundé on the team’s official Instagram account, and the five-star Boylston Street hotel, which they’ve reportedly completely booked, will serve as their home base for the duration of their tournament.
Per Koundé’s tour, the players’ rooms feature personalized posters and bathrobes and courtesy Celtics, Patriots, and Red Sox jerseys.
“The room is really cool,” he says in French upon entering.
“I really appreciate the warm welcome,” Koundé adds later.
A longer version of the video posted on the team’s X account (sans English subtitles) shows other players’ rooms as well as the team’s weight room, which appears to be a converted banquet hall.
Superstar captain Kylian Mbappé shared a look at his room poster on his own Instagram account as well.
France’s World Cup gets underway Tuesday afternoon when they face Senegal at 3 p.m. in East Rutherford, New Jersey. After a game in Philadelphia against Iraq on June 22, they’ll have a home game of-sorts when they play Norway on June 26 in Foxborough.
