Stade Pierre de Coubertin, Football stadium in La Bocca, Cannes, France
Stade Pierre de Coubertin is a football stadium in the La Bocca neighborhood of Cannes, France. It has a main grandstand with three tiers of seating, including a section where white seats spell out "SCANNE", and a grass pitch below.
The stadium opened in the late 1960s and was first used for athletics and rugby. Football took over in the mid-1970s, and the athletics club left in 1986. A record crowd of 17,401 saw Cannes play Marseille in 1993.
The stadium is the home of AS Cannes, and its east stand is named after Jean Varraud, a former club director. On match days, the stands fill with local supporters who follow the team through the seasons.
The stadium is in western Cannes, near the La Bocca area, and can be reached by local buses or car. The entrance is at ground level and wide enough for wheelchair users, and parking includes adapted spaces.
The east stand was renamed in 2013 after Jean Varraud, known as "the man of Les Hespérides". The north and south stands were later demolished for safety reasons, leaving only the two side stands.
