Stade Rochelais fans
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.
Supporters' clubs
Enjoy the pre- and post-game atmosphere
Just a short walk from the stadium, La Corniche bar is famous for its ocean-view terrace, and for its lively vibe on match days. Supporters' clubs gather there before and after the games.
Before the game, fans sing together before heading to the stadium.
After the game, win or lose, it’s time to share a drink and debrief!
