Stade Français vs RCF, P&T almanac, 1920


Another French "Postes & Telephones" almanac, dated1920,  with a fine colourful rugby picture ! (check this other one as well...)

This one shows top Parisian teams Stade Français (in dark blue) and Racing Club de France (in light blue stripes).

A nice picture... but I am far from being sure that this could be a real game (strange stadium, indeed ...or could this La Faisanderie, training camp of the Stade Français in the middle of Parc de St Cloud... ?)
