Centre d'entraînement Robert Louis-Dreyfus, Football training ground in Marseille, France
The Centre d'entraînement Robert Louis-Dreyfus, also known as La Commanderie, is the training ground and academy base of Olympique de Marseille. It covers a large area with several grass and synthetic pitches, a main building for the professional squad, and separate facilities for the youth academy.
The center opened in July 1991, following a wish from Michel Hidalgo, then sporting director of the club. It was renamed in 2009 after the death of Robert Louis-Dreyfus, the club's former owner.
The gate bears the club's motto "AU BUT" and a plaque with the name Dreyfus, marking the identity of the place. Fans often gather near the entrance on match days or during training sessions, hoping to see players arrive.
The site is not open to the public for regular visits, but you can see the entrance gate from the street. The area is in the 12th arrondissement and is best reached by car or bus, as it sits away from the city center.
The site was previously called La Commanderie, a name that many locals still use today. The entrance gate features a crest above the text "AU BUT" and a small plaque reading "Dreyfus".
