History
Paris Chatillon XIII was founded in 1971 by Ernest Roig,https://issuu.com/port-barcares/docs/journal_lecoute58 a Catalan exiled in the Paris region. From the 80s, the club played mostly in the 1st Division (group A and B) today called Elite 1 and Elite 2, which is a national championship. During the 1984-1985 season, the club won the D1B (Elite2) final and beat Pia XIII with a score of 18-12. At that time, more precisely during the 1983-19845 season, the club had in its ranks, a world rugby league star, the Australian player Greg Mackey. In the 1980s, the club was sportingly managed by the Australian Tas Baitieri, former pillar of Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, Balmain Tigers, Paris-Châtillon XIII, Saint-Gaudens and head of development within the Rugby League International Federation. This period with the Châtillon club also had an influence on him, in his conviction of the need to develop rugby league at world level. His collaboration in Châtillon with the president Daniel Calas corresponds to a prosperous period and development of the club of the capital. In 1993, the club was planning to join a championship in England, feeling isolated in the north of the Loire, far from the traditional lands of treizistes. In 2002, the club failed to win the Elite 2 championship by losing the final against Lyon XIII (22-28)13, and reached the Elite 1 Championship for the 2002/03 season. Then 2003-2006: Elite 2. Since 2006: Senior Federal Championship. In 2023, the club won the Federal Challenge by beating Belvèze-Razès 50-4.Club honours
