Stade Chaban-Delmas, Art Deco stadium in Bordeaux, France
Stade Chaban-Delmas is an Art Deco stadium in Bordeaux with a remarkable roof design that has no visible support pillars. The facility holds around 33,000 spectators in a concrete structure designed for both football and rugby events.
The stadium opened in 1938 to host FIFA World Cup matches under the name Parc Lescure. It was renamed in 2001 to honor former Bordeaux mayor Jacques Chaban-Delmas.
The venue is now home to the Union Bordeaux-Bègles rugby club after serving as a football stadium for decades. Visitors experience the blend of sport and classical design that defines the place today.
The stadium sits in central Bordeaux and connects easily to public transport. Guided tours are available regularly for visitors wanting to explore the architecture and facilities.
The stadium gained historical monument status in 2022, protecting its Art Deco architecture. This recognition reflects how the structure remains valued despite accommodating contemporary sporting demands.
