Match day in Bayonne

Whether you are a rugby enthusiast or not, come and experience the Bayonne atmosphere during a match day!

The Bayonne crowd (and what a crowd they are!) is recognised as one of the most passionate, if not the most, in France. Pottoka (pronounced ‘potioka’), the famous mascot of the Aviron Bayonnais club which represents a small, stocky horse (a pottok is a small pony found in the Basque country), needs no introduction, and is on show on match days at the Jean Dauger stadium (also very famous). The town is taken over by a contagious frenzy of people dressed in the sky blue and white colours around the market places! Not be missed on any account.
