Rugby players and footballers compete at the Manville Legends Cup

This event for the benefit of the France Alzheimer & related diseases association will bring together key figures from the world of sport such as Laurent Blanc, Alain Boghossian, Christophe Dugarry, David Ginola, Jo Maso, Richard Astre, Jean-Pierre Bastiat, Jean Gachassin, Fabien Pelous , Jean-Pierre Rives and many others… Former internationals for the most part, they had their moment of glory in their respective disciplines. Their competitive spirit remains intact and the fight will be intense to win the 1st Trophy of its kind between 12 footballers and 12 rugby players, always under the sign of fair play and beautiful play.

A privileged environment

In the heart of the Alpilles, in the exceptional site of the Plaine des Baux, Thierry Sprecher has designed an 18-hole golf course combining technicality and playfulness, in an eco-responsible spirit respectful of the site and natural resources. Anxious to integrate the course perfectly into the surrounding agricultural landscape while enhancing the potential of the site, the landscapers were inspired by the mesh of agricultural hedges characteristic of the Baux plain whose frame they have reconstructed thanks to cypress windbreak hedges on the course. All the technical elements of the game are as much evocation of this landscape: geometric bunkers supported by dry stone walls, geometric shapes of the greens and departures, grassed bunkers preferred to sand bunkers, delimitations of the fairways which recompose an agricultural plot , olive trees and rivers integrated into the game.

The role of partners

For their part, each partner will play a capital role within his team: while a rugby player and a footballer will face each other in individual match play, the partner will bring points to his legendary teammate thanks to his birdies and eagles, as well as than with its performance in distance and precision competitions. A unique opportunity that at heart rugby players and footballers have a lot in common… Their passion for the little white ball is one of them!
