Stade Chapou

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Le Stade Chapou (or Stade Jacques-Chapou) was a stadium that was located on rue des Amidonniers in Toulouse. It was called Stade du T.O.E.C. before World War II, then Stade du Général Huntziger during the war, then Stade Chapou after the war (in tribute to Jacques Chapou (1909-1944), French Resistant).

The stadium was destroyed in 1965 for building a residence of students for the faculty[clarification needed].
