Stade Mayol, Rugby union venue in Toulon, France.
Stade Mayol is a sports stadium in Toulon with a capacity of approximately 15,400 spectators, serving as the home ground for Rugby Club Toulonnais since its opening.
The stadium was constructed beginning in 1919 and officially opened in 1920, named after Félix Mayol, a famous singer from Toulon who donated land and funds for its construction.
The stadium is known for the Pilou pilou chant, developed in the late 1940s, which depicts Toulon players as warriors descending from the mountains and remains a defining element of matches.
Located at Quai Lafontan, the stadium is accessible by multiple bus lines from Réseau Mistral network, with stops within 500 yards (460 meters) and nearby parking available for 6 euros for six hours.
Stade Mayol is one of the few French rugby stadiums integrated within the city center, surrounded by tall buildings and situated at the base of Mont Faron mountain with views of the Mediterranean harbor.
