NRL premiers the Sydney Roosters will prepare for their World Club Challenge by spending a week in Paris where they will train against Trent Robinson's former club Toulouse before they visit the Anzac memorials in the Somme.

Robinson, whose wife Sandra is French, speaks the language and spent time at Toulouse and as coach of Catalans, wanted to make sure the pre-season trip to the other side of the globe was so much more than just a game of rugby league against Super League champs Wigan.

The Roosters flew to Queenstown on Sunday for a week-long training camp, having visited the same picturesque town on New Zealand's south island last year.

But nothing will top the week-long French trip that is expected to give the Roosters players and staff a new appreciation about history while also developing new life skills. The players remain in the dark about what Robinson has mapped out.
