Orchamps Stadium

The Orchamps stadium, which was specially-designed for playing rugby, opened in 2016. All the facilities have been designed with this discipline in mind and approved by the French rugby federation (FFR).

The rugby training centre is located at the heart of the Orchamps sports complex. This sports complex has two grass pitches (100 x 68 m and 94 x 60 m) and one 4G artificial pitch (105 x 68 m).

The 2,000 sq. m of indoor facilities offer all the amenities for welcoming delegations in the best possible conditions. In addition to the 40 sq. m changing rooms, it has a weights room looking out onto the rugby pitch, a video room, a first aid and recovery area, and eating facilities.

The cryotherapy chamber available in the sport performance optimisation centre (COPS) nearby and a 40 x 20 m sports hall are also available for training and recovery purposes.

The centre is home to the Olympique de Besançon rugby club which plays in the French Pro D2 league.

The rugby facility is situated in a quiet area near the forest of Chailluz, an ideal place for warming-up and post-training recovery in leafy surroundings. Near to the city centre, the facility is easy to get to by bus and by car, thanks to a free and secure car park.
