Fifteen kilometres on foot, it uses, it uses, fifteen kilometers on foot, it uses the shoes… but nothing scares the hikers in the section Horizon Beaulieu Chartres. On the hoof, they go every Thursday through beauceronne and emigration lands. When the theatre of their pédestres is a little away from Chartres, visit the Mathurin Régnier College parking garage, rue Jules-Hetzel, at 13 h 45.

Since 2005, Chartres has its squash school by the French federation, and contrary to what one might think, recruitment is taking place early. Specific facilities allow children between the ages of 4 and 7 to practice mini squash, a game of awakening that will take them to "squash sensation" from the age of 8, then to "champion squash" from age 13. Playful and technical, squash enables children to flourish in a sport that appeals to their tone and imagination, and, if they so wish, will also be able to move towards competition. By enrolling in the squash school, they will also benefit from free access to the club outside of training and other benefits. But of course, for adults and people who are not enrolled in the course, it is still possible to practice squash and badminton occasionally or regularly: after paying a fee of € 3 to join the club, simply purchase an entry to the unit, or choose a subscription to benefit from advantageous rates on the book books.
