Airbnb is teaming up with French rugby player Antoine Dupont to offer an unforgettable experience for his fans. The scrum-half will open up his family home in Castelnau-Magnoac for just one weekend in October.
Despite his already stellar reputation in the rugby world, this year has been exceptionally exciting for Antoine Dupont. The scrum-half, who plays for the French rugby club Stade Toulousain, has won the Olympic medal with his Rugby Sevens team in Paris and has been elected the best player in the Top 14 by his peers. No better time, therefore, for Airbnb to join forces with Dupont.
“We are delighted to welcome Antoine Dupont to our community of hosts on Airbnb and to offer an authentic stay in his hometown. It’s a unique opportunity for French people to meet a champion with inspiring values, and to discover his family roots. This stay reflects our commitment to creating unforgettable moments and fostering authentic encounters between hosts and travelers across France”, explains Clément Eulry, general director for Airbnb in France.
From 22nd October until 24th October, a group of up to six people will have the chance to stay at Dupont’s family home. While doing so, they can view his rugby trophies, meet Antoine Dupont, and perhaps even play some rugby specialities. They will leave with a special, personalised present from the scrum-half. together, taste the regional sp
Aside from those special activities, Dupont’s home is also the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great moment with family or friends while staying in a very charming location. From terracotta floors to exposed beams and an inviting orchard: the house in Castelnau-Magnoac has everything one could ask for a quintessentially French holiday in October.
“I am delighted to open the doors of my childhood home in my native village of Castelnau-Magnoac on Airbnb. This house has a special place in my heart because it brings together all of our family memories. Decades ago, our parents themselves hosted travellers at this same property and it is with pride that I continue the family tradition of hospitality”, Dupont says.
Those who are interested in getting the chance to stay at Dupont’s home can try their chance through Airbnb on October 14th at 6 PM CEST.
