Villefranche XIII Aveyron is located in Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Aveyron in southern region of France. It was founded in 1950 after the town's rugby union club switched codes. Around 1999, the club also changed its name to Villefranche XIII Aveyron to include the local area of Aveyron, plus a new moniker was devised which was Les Loups or in English The Wolves.
It arrived in this century as a member of the elite league and remained until 2006. Financial problems got the club into trouble so in 2004 they joined forces with Cahors XIII to form Union Villefranche-Cahors XIII. It ended its stay at the top after the 2005-06 season and in 2008 Villefranche removed itself from the union and reclaimed its previous name.
