Often referred to as the “City of Wine”, Bordeaux boasts a vibrant rugby culture that runs deep in the veins of its residents. The local rugby team, Union Bordeaux Bègles, proudly represents the city in the Top 14 league. Match days at the Chaban-Delmas stadium are a festive spectacle, where the citizens and fans unite to cheer on their beloved team.

This passion for rugby extends beyond the stadium, creating a strong community that celebrates the sport’s rich traditions. From lively pre-match gatherings to spirited discussions about game strategies, Bordeaux’s love for rugby is a sight to behold.
