Stade Rochelais Women is a French rugby union team, based in La Rochelle. They compete in the Élite 2 competition, which is the second division of women's rugby in France.
They played as La Pallice Women from the 2008–09 to 2016–17 season.[1]
In 2022, they reached their first Élite 2 championship final but lost against the Valkyries. A year later, they played against Stade Français in their second finals appearance but were defeated.[2]
