Few countries embody the spirit of rugby quite like France. Fiercely proud, impossibly stylish, and utterly devoted to the oval ball, it’s a nation where the game is not just a sport but a way of life. From the glamour of Paris to the rugged Basque Country, every region lives and breathes its own unique rugby culture and every touring side is welcomed with open arms.
In Paris, giants like Racing 92 and Stade Français keep the capital buzzing, while the iconic landmarks of the City of Light provide the ultimate backdrop to any rugby adventure. Head south and Lyon offers one of the most immersive pro-experiences in the country, with legendary figures like Emile Ntamack ensuring your squad gets true insider access.
Further along the coast, Toulon embodies the raw power of French rugby, its stadium once home to a galaxy of global stars, while the city itself remains rooted in authentic Provençal charm.
In the Pyrenean foothills, Perpignan is where Catalan culture and rugby pride collide — an experience that fuses sun, sea, mountains, and sport. Toulouse, the mighty “Ville Rose,” is arguably Europe’s rugby capital, home to Stade Toulousain, record-breakers and history-makers of the game. And in Bayonne, rugby is religion; every town and village in the Basque Country treats a fixture as an invasion — fierce on the pitch, unforgettable in the clubhouse.
For teams seeking competition, culture, and camaraderie in equal measure, France is a special rugby tour destination.
The City of Light blends world-class rugby with iconic sights. Fixtures, pro-club access with Racing 92 or Stade Français, and the international SQY Festival sit alongside bucket-list moments at the Eiffel Tower, Sacré Coeur, and Disneyland. Paris delivers top-tier rugby and timeless memories in one stylish package.
Historic, sophisticated, and passionately rugby-mad, Lyon is the heart of French touring. Access unique pro experiences with LOU Rugby, guided by former international Ephraim Taukafa. Explore traboules, bouchons, and UNESCO heritage while enjoying fixtures across a thriving rugby region. Lyon blends culture, cuisine, and competitive rugby like nowhere else.
A colourful Catalan city where rugby is woven into everyday life. Home to USAP Perpignan, the club’s passion mirrors the region’s fiery pride. Tours here combine competitive fixtures with Pyrenean adventures, sandy beaches, and even a Barcelona add-on. Perpignan is where culture, sunshine, and rugby intensity collide.
Known as “La Ville Rose,” Toulouse is France’s rugby heartbeat. Stade Toulousain, Europe’s most successful club, sets the tone for a city obsessed with the game. Add world-class culture, a thriving café scene, and riverside charm, and Toulouse becomes an unmissable destination for squads who want rugby at its highest level.
In the Basque Country, rugby is religion. Bayonne and neighbouring Biarritz live and breathe the game, with every fixture fiercely contested. Off the pitch, expect stunning surf beaches, colourful old towns, and unforgettable food. Bayonne is as authentic as rugby gets — fiery, passionate, and steeped in tradition.
Once Europe’s rugby superpower, Toulon still boasts world-class pedigree and a fiery Mediterranean spirit. Touring sides soak up the atmosphere at the iconic Stade Mayol while enjoying fixtures in one of France’s proudest rugby towns. Add cable-car views from Mount Faron, Provençal markets, and stunning coastline — Toulon delivers on all fronts.
