They also won the inaugural edition of the Heineken Cup (now the European Rugby Champions Cup) in 1996. During this period, they also won the Challenge Yves du Manoir three times (1993, 1995 and 1998).

Since 2000, the team have been just as dominant. During this period, they've won the French Championship five times and finished as the competition's runners-up twice more.
