History and description<\/h3>\n

Stade Marcel Verchere has mostly been used for rugby during its history being the home of US Bressane. It became the home of FBBP 01 following their promotion to Ligue 2 in 2015. Previously the club had played at the smaller Stade Municipal de Peronnas, which did not meet Ligue 2 standards.<\/p>\n

Stade Marcel Verchere consists of three stands: a grandstand built in 2007, a terrace behind the goal, and the newly built North Stand across the grandstand. The new North Stand was completed in October 2017.<\/p>\n

Regional trains<\/a>, and the odd TGV (high speed train), connect Bourg-en-Bresse with Lyon, with TGV’s continuing to Strasbourg. The journey from Lyon takes 40 to 65 minutes depending on the service.<\/p>\n
