Quillan Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Have a look athttp://www.francerugby.fr/revuepresse/presentation_club/You should be able to find your local club there and where it plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josa Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 The trouble with just looking at a list of clubs is that you do not know what they are like - are they a "family" club or "professional" - do they have one man and his dog to watch or hundreds - do they welcome visitors to the club house - in short, what level and culture is the particular club you want to go to - you may only want to spectate, but you may want to become part of the club (nthing better in my view).It would be ueseful if a personal experiences of clubs could be posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Most rugby is played at your local Stade which is in fact constructed and owned by the local council. There are a few exceptions but that is mainly with the big cities. If you look through the list I gave the URL for you will quickly see that this is the case. France is far more 'sportive' than the UK in as much as nearly all towns have a Stade which are used for all outdoor sports. So basically go along to your local Stade and have a look. Some have bars and others don't. Most rugby clubs are associated with a local bar where one retires after the game for a few beers with players form both sides. Normally the players have a sit down meal after at the bar. Our team prefers to have a few beers prior to the game hence we are now in Federal League 2.

Fiona Ellis Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 This may be a bit late. There are rugby clubs at Barbezieux, Jonzac, Pons, Cognac, Jarnac and Angouleme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Perigeux has probably the best club locally to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
