Football fans sit in pitch-side Jacuzzi and watch Troyes vs Rennes live, they had the best seats in the house
Football fans in France have gone viral for having the absolute best seats in the house for Troyes' game against Rennes on Sunday.
The Ligue One clash finished 1-1, with Ike Ugbo's opener being cancelled out by Baptiste Santamaria early on in the second half.
Troyes, the hosts, had Yoann Salmier sent off in the first half. But even though the game wasn't all that interesting, a huge talking point has been the fact that two supporters watched the contest from a jacuzzi.

As cameras panned to capture Santamaria take a corner in the second half, the fans were in the background having the time of their life in the hot tub.

In addition to the fine view from being sat directly behind the corner flag, this new level of hospitality comes with refreshments.
It's unclear whether the duo paid for the experience or won a competition, but either way, they looked to be having an absolute belter.
We've never seen anything like this in the United Kingdom before - probably because it wouldn't work as well on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke.
However, it turns out that Stade Michel d'Ornano - the home of French side Caen FC - also had the bubbles going on due to a partnership with Hotel SPA.

And don't forget Hobro IK in Denmark, who ran a competition to give supporters the chance to sip beer in -4 degree conditions from the comfort of a hot tub during a 2-0 defeat to Copenhagen at DS Arena.

With a temp of -4C, the Hobro club sponsor raffled the chance to watch the game pitch-side in a jacuzzi with beers.
