The lucky winner of the competition will step into the shoes of France captain this month
Toulouse and France superstar Antoine Dupont has set up his family home on Airbnb, giving fans the chance to literally sleep in his bed.
Dupont is teaming up with a renowned hospitality company to offer free trips to his family home in Castelnau-Magnoac. This unique, strange, yet cool marketing move allows up to six people to stay in his family home and meet the man in person.

Antoine Dupont Airbnb Competition
According to Airbnb, the three-night stay from October 22nd to 24th includes “a personalized welcome, a meeting with Antoine, immersion in the family cocoon, and the opportunity to admire the best trophies and medals Antoine has won throughout his career.” This includes the recent Olympic gold medal in Rugby 7s.”
As part of the process, Dupont became a “host” on the platform with his verified profile. His “fun facts” are that he can walk on his hands and that he sleeps way too much.
The accommodation itself is a delightful, quaint farmhouse with plenty of natural light and a huge courtyard almost tailor-made for fire games. On the walls hang some of Dupont’s competition uniforms, including the shirt he wore to win gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics this summer.

Dupont also puts a little extra effort into “planning special activities for you and your loved ones,” such as board games, movie nights, outdoor games and picnics in the garden. You will also have the opportunity to try “le magret en cocotte”, a local duck casserole made with produce from family farms.

Speaking at the competition, Dupont said: “I am delighted to be opening the doors of my childhood home in my hometown of Castelno-Manoac on Airbnb.
“This house holds a special place in my heart, uniting all our family memories. Decades ago, my parents welcomed travelers at this very property, and we are proud to continue the family tradition of hospitality.”
Dupont is currently spending time away from USA Rugby following the Olympics. Over the past few weeks, the French scrum-half has been linked with footballer Lionel Messi and basketball player LeBron James, as well as spending time with the Los Angeles Chargers American Football team.
Entries for this sweepstakes open on 14 October at 5pm BST/6pm French time. For more information, see AirBnb here.
