The club is from the city of Lyon, Rhône-Alpes in France. It was formed in 1934, making it one of the foundation clubs in France. Unfortunately, it's no longer in the elite or first division of Rugby league. Like other French clubs, it was banned from playing RL by the pro-Nazi Vichy government and forced to play Rugby Union.
After the war, the club had its most successful period. That didn't last and its fortunes since the turn of the century are shown below. It collected four wooden spoons within a six year period and last graced the top division in France in the 2009-10 season.
