Stade Chaban-Delmas, Art Deco stadium in Bordeaux, France

The Chaban-Delmas Stadium features a distinctive roof design without support pillars and houses 33,290 seats in its concrete structure.

The stadium opened for the 1938 FIFA World Cup under the name Parc Lescure before being renamed in 2001 to honor former Bordeaux mayor Jacques Chaban-Delmas.

The venue transitioned from hosting Girondins de Bordeaux football matches to becoming the home ground of Union Bordeaux-Begles rugby club in 2015.

Located in central Bordeaux, the stadium connects to public transportation and maintains regular guided tours for visitors interested in sports architecture.

The facility earned historical monument status in 2022, protecting its Art Deco architecture while accommodating modern sporting requirements.
