Career
Gautherie subsequently played as winger for the PARC (Pays d'Aix RC Rugby Club). He currently plays for LOU Rugby in Lyon. He is one of the first French rugbymen to appear fully nude in the Dieux du Stade calendar, appearing in the 2004, 2005 and 2007 editions. Along with Morgan Souply and Thomas Mège, he was chosen to promote the 2004 calendar in the media. As a result, in the gay community he is considered a sex symbol, as evidenced by a number of fan sites. In January 2007, Gautherie played number 11 in France Amateur – a team chosen from the Federale Divisions which are "amateur" – and beat Spain 47–0 at Aire Sur L'Adour in France.
He now plays for Aix-en-Provence again.
