by its beauty...

According to legend, Toulon singer Félix Mayol developed a passion for rugby after an oval ball knocked his hat off near a pitch. In 1919, he offered a large sum of money to acquire a plot of land and sold his songs to benefit the Lily of the Valley Club to finance its sports facilities. In his "Mémoires," published in 1929, he explains: Now, in Toulon, where the youth are particularly active and vigorous, we didn't have a single usable plot of land... All that remained was a disused velodrome, where no one ever went, which was no longer of any use, and which seemed to me to be as bored as our aspiring athletes... So, my God, it was quite simple: I bought the old velodrome! I broke ground myself on July 26th. Inaugurated on March 28, 1920, the Stade Mayol remains one of the rare examples in France of a stadium located in the heart of the city. The people of Toulon are passionate about the RCT and its "Temple de Besagne." On November 23, 1943, the stadium was bombed. Handed over to the city, the Stade Mayol was renovated and re-inaugurated in September 1965, for a match against the Welsh team of Newbridge. Since then, the famous "Rouge et Noir" players have continued to play in this stadium, so dear to the Toulon people. The stadium was recently modernized by the municipality, including the installation of two giant screens, a new sound system, new shells, and the creation of media spaces and boxes.
