Champions Cup games and the Top 14 schedule mean Racing do not have a home game until the weekend of May 11.
Instead, Racing will play their games 170 kilometers away in Auxerre's football stadium.

By then, American pop queen Swift will have started her four-night sold-out run of concerts at the indoor Paris La Defense Arena.
Swift follows the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney in playing the venue, which opened in 2017.
The arena, which can welcome up to 40,000 people, then needs to be converted to a swimming pool for the summer's Paris Olympic Games.

France has asked its foreign allies to send several thousand members of their security forces to help guard the Paris Olympics, officials said on March 28, underlining the strains caused by the sporting extravaganza which begins in July.
"Several foreign nations are going to reinforce us in certain critical areas, such as dog-handling capabilities where the needs are enormous," an official at the defence ministry told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The official did not say how many foreign soldiers would be on French soil, but Polish Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed his country was joining "an international coalition established by France" for the Olympics.
An official in the French interior ministry said separately that Paris had asked 46 allies to send 2,185 police reinforcements.
