It all began after a tragedy on September 10, 1964: three US Dax players (Jean Othats, Raymond Albaladejo and Emile Carrère) lost their lives in a car accident while returning from a friendly match. In their memory, Father Michel Devert undertook to restore a ruined chapel located on the heights of Larrivière-Saint-Savin to transform it into a sanctuary dedicated to rugby. It was named "Notre-Dame-du-Rugby". Inaugurated in 1967, it attracts curious people from around the world. Enthusiasts from Ireland, South America, England, Australia... come every year to admire the places. Here, everything revolves around rugby. Even the stained glass windows, which depict the Virgin Mary “at the melee” or “at the touch”. Since 2010, a museum housing no less than 430 players' jerseys, some of which are real rare pieces, has been created next to the chapel. The Friends of Notre-Dame-du-Rugby association offers several free guided tours during the World Cup.
