Use public transport to get to the stadium

– From Bordeaux city center: stadium about 40 minutes away. Take streetcar line B in the direction of Pessac Centre to the Arts et Métiers stop, then take bus no. 8 in the direction of GRADIGNAN Centre to the Le Dôme stop and walk about 10 minutes.
– From Bordeaux’s St Jean train station, the stadium is about 40 minutes away by public transport.
Take bus no. 35 in the direction of Bordeaux Cracovie to the “Le Dôme” stop and walk about 10 minutes.
– By bike: guarded parking lots near the general public entrance. You can also take the city’s VCub from the Forum, Peixotto or Doyen Brus stations to the École de Management, Compostelle or Thouars stations, near the stadium.
How do I get to the Stade de Thouars by car?
– From Bordeaux-Mérignac airport, the stadium is about 20 minutes away by taking the A630 towards Arcachon/Bayonne to exit n°16 Talence-Centre / Domaine universitaire.
– By car: Rocade exit n°16, direction Talence-centre / domaine universitaire or Rocade exit n°17, direction Talence-Thouars.
PRMs are welcome at the stadium, including those who must be accompanied by a guide dog. In this case, special measures have been put in place to enable people with reduced mobility to enjoy the event to the full, while respecting the constraints set by the sporting authorities.
Access to the stadium is only possible via avenue de Thouars, coordinates :
Zone d’accès Décastar 33400 Talence: 44.793819, -0.591931
The handi badge allows you to pass through police control and into the official parking lot.
There are two possible scenarios:
1- the disabled person drives his car: in this case, the 2nd control will direct him to a nearby parking lot (reduced number of spaces) and he will be accompanied through the access control formalities and guided to his spectator seat.
2- If the person is not driving, the driver will have to park in the “Officials” parking lot in a reserved space after dropping off the disabled person near the entrance, then join him/her to be accompanied to a seat in the stadium.
Le contrôle d’accès se fait, pour les PMR, uniquement à l’avant. Afin de faciliter le contrôle d’accès, il est conseillé de se munir à l’avance de son ticket d’accès. Les tickets sont en vente sur le site du Decastar. Afin de faciliter les contacts, un numéro de téléphone de l’unité d’accueil sera publié sur le site début septembre.
