La Rochelle, a rugby city
On match days, La Rochelle comes alive with a unique energy: yellow and black flags hanging from windows, fans singing on the Old Port, and excitement building around the Marcel Deflandre stadium. In La Rochelle, rugby is more than just a sport - it’s part of the local culture.
Where to experience the game day atmosphere
La Rochelle is a true rugby town. Our local team, Stade Rochelais, proved its strength by becoming European champion two years in a row, in 2022 and 2023. Since then, home games have become unmissable events. The Marcel Deflandre stadium sells out every time. No ticket? No worries! There are plenty of ways to soak up the match day atmosphere in La Rochelle.
