Stade André-et-Guy-Boniface

The stadium’s identity is tied to its namesakes, André and Guy Boniface, brothers who represented France in rugby. Guy died in a car accident in 1968, shortly after the venue had been renamed Stade Guy-Boniface in his honour. The addition of André’s name came much later, in 2020, following the opening of new tribunes. Before the current name, the ground was known as Stade de Barbe d’Or, after the district where it sits.

The playing surface is artificial grass, laid down in 2023 after many years of natural turf. The change was part of a wider renovation that reconfigured the seating to meet modern safety standards. The capacity now stands at 12,212 all-seater places, a fraction of the 22,000 who once packed into the stadium when the ground opened in 1965.

The most memorable crowd came in 1995, when 18,000 spectators turned out for a Coupe de France match between the local football team and Girondins de Bordeaux. Zinedine Zidane played for Bordeaux that day; they won 2-1. The ground also staged the 1963 French Rugby Championship final, which Stade Montois won against US Dax. In August 2025, it will host its first senior international women's rugby test match, a warm-up for the Women's Rugby World Cup between France and England.
