Meetings with emblematic players from the XV de France, performances by artists, DJs and gymnasts, conferences...will enliven the Rugby Village throughout the World Cup!
An exceptional and festive inauguration evening will take place on Friday September 8 2023 from 5pm! Two concerts will keep fans waiting until the France/New Zealand match kicks off: the famous DJs Breakboat and Irgane, followed by the French changer Hervé - for an electro-pop atmosphere.
A demonstration of Haka by the Maori group Te Matatini, photocalls, virtual reality animations, a gymnastics demonstration by the Paris Fire Brigade... will complete the inauguration program!
