Produced in France and imported to the US since 2004, this spectacular annual poster book/calendar features 33 images of some of the hottest men in the world. This year’s edition has been photographed by renowned New York fashion and celebrity photographer Steven Klein in full color.

The stars of the calendar are truly the French rugby players whose bodies grace these pages. The men have been shot inside luxurious estates and out in the wild. While the vast majority of the photos feature naked men, there is no full-frontal nudity. Lit with panache, these highly stylized and erotic images feature solo men as well as group shots. The unusual photos utilize props as diverse as footballs, shackles, mirrors and video cameras.

Watch some really hot making-of-clips after the jump ...
