After waking early, the Aiglons visited Moscow on Wednesday morning. At 9am (local time, 7am in Nice), they were thrown into what awaits for them on Thursday evening. But in a "lighter" version... 

By bus, they crossed the Russian capital for a large part of the morning. In polar temperatures (-10°) which according to locals, "isn't too bad for the season", they stopped on two occasions where, on foot, the were able to take in the atmosphere of the East of the continent.

The first of those was at the Sparrow Hills. It allowed them to see the famous Luzhniki Stadium, the home of the Russian national side which will host the opening match and the final of World Cup 2018; as well as Lomonossov University, the temple of Russian education. 

The second stop took them to Red Sqaure where between Saint Basil's Cathedral and the Kremlin, they were able to take a selection of photos.
