[edit] History

The club was established in 1905. The club made their first championship appearance in the 1967 season, where they captured their first championship title; defeating CA Bègles 11 points to 3 in Bordeaux. They gained promotion to from Pro D2 for the 2006-07 season

In their first match of the 2006-07 season, they defeated Narbonne 41-20, gaining five points (including a bonus point) to go to second in the table after round one. They have continued in surprisingly strong form for a newly promoted team, notably handing early runaway league leaders Stade Français their first defeat of the season, 15-9, in Round 10 on 6 October.
