Stadiums and sports facilities France

This is France's largest indoor football centre. 5 000 m 2 of synthetic turf land (last generation please!) or six fields for football to five. The complex also includes an air-conditioned bar from which sports events on giant screen and a restaurant can be found after sport. There are also championships, tournaments and entertainment for children in summer or birthdays.

The stadium, which has existed since 1922, was updated 100 years later to become a genuine urban sports park. It is organized around a central hub dedicated to athletics, soccer and rugby, with a 1,500-seat grandstand. One section is reserved for a tennis club, while another is dedicated to basketball, 5-a-side soccer, beach volleyball, tennis and field hockey. A skate park, a pétanque area, ping-pong tables, a running track, two fitness areas, an omnisports hub and a playground complete the complex.

The Castres Olympique stadium in the north of the city has been the club's permanent home since 1990. Previously named "Stade Pierre-Antoine" in memory of the illustrious player, it was renamed "Stade Pierre Fabre" in 2017 in honor of the man and his group. Pierre Fabre's unwavering support has enabled Castres Olympique to flourish to its current level. This large complex has several dressing rooms, and during matches you'll find a gourmet village, a children's area, the club store and numerous refreshment stands!

Located just a few minutes from the city centre of Nancy with a beautiful view of the Meurthe river, it is impossible not to know the HQ of ASNL, the Nancy football club. Inaugurated in 1926 before being renovated in 2003, the stadium can accommodate over 20,000 people. The seats are seated and above all covered, which is practical in case of rain! The stadium also offers beautiful and bright rooms to organize your meetings, exhibitions or fairs, with a catering service to treat your guests. The plus: a car park opposite the stadium makes it easy to arrive by car.

The Stade de la Méditerranée is now called the Stade Raoul-Barrière. Built in 1989, it is the new home of the city's rugby club, AS Béziers Hérault.

The Cathedral! Some might think that this nickname given to the Aimé-Giral stadium is a little pompous! And yet, at every home match, the USAP becomes the high priestess of a veritable sporting mass. The fans line the stands with blood and gold banners; here, we say "Maî morirem! "(We never die!) because USAP is more than a club, it's a religion. Aimé-Giral is the kind of stadium where you don't want to be a visitor when theEstaca rings out, 11,000 hearts singing in unison! An incredible moment.

The historic stadium of Biarritz Olympique (B.O), the famous rugby club that plays in the Top 14 and Pro D2, has 9,500 seats for a total of 13,400, plus 500 parking spaces.

Playing sports in a natural environment, where you feel like you are in the countryside, even though you are on Parisian territory: this is the possibility offered by the Pershing stadium and its immense facilities: athletics track, numerous soccer, handball and basketball courts. The whole is well maintained and much appreciated. A word of advice regarding access: the metro is relatively far away, so cyclists will not hesitate to take their bikes, and motorists will have easy access - which is rare enough in Paris to be noted.

Its name resonates softly in the ears of sports enthusiasts, and the George Carpentier Hall, which was inaugurated in 1960 and renovated in 1988, is the heart of a vast sports complex, the largest in the south-east of the capital, located between the marshals and the ring road. The place includes an athletics track with free access (except of course during competitions), a classic football field and two 7-a-side football fields, as well as a rugby field, a rare commodity still rare in Paris today. A nice set of equipment, very crowded but not suffering from the crowd, because, once again, the place is really very large and allows a quiet practice.

This enabled him for the first time in his history, and the only one to date, to host the French football team on 18 August 2004 during the friendly match of the Blues facing Bosnia and Herzegovina (1-1).

Since 1995, it is enlarged (18 120 places) to support the CROISSANCE growth. This is an extraordinary situation, since the population of the city is now two and a half times in the Tribunes galleries! Its last lifting date dates back to 2007, two years before receiving the French football team for the first time.

There is also a large car park next door, allowing you to park easily. The stadium is accessible to all but the practice of sports is strictly controlled. Too many people used to come here for walks or picnics because of the lack of green spaces in the centre. From now on, you can practice athletics on the track, practice team sports with friends on the central lawn.

It's a building that is the pride and joy of Montalban's heritage! Nicknamed "La Cuvette", because of its flood-prone location, it was inaugurated with wooden bleachers in 1908 in front of over 4,000 spectators. Today, the stadium has a capacity of 15,000 and boasts several dressing rooms and recent sports facilities. The Union Sportive Montalbanaise and its supporters invite you to join them at matches at the Stade Sapiac, amidst the green and black flags and shirts in the stands! A great atmosphere!

Inaugurated on December 1, 1969 during warm derby in front of Bastia, there was its biggest influence. The Stade François-Coty, the name of the former mayor of the city (1874-1934), was renamed Timizzolo by ajacciens supporters.

The Poissonniers sports center is equipped with a stadium and a 400-meter athletic track. Inside, there are two gymnasiums with tracks (volleyball, handball, basketball, badminton), three tennis courts and a climbing wall. The buildings are a bit dilapidated, the place is sometimes difficult to find, as it is wedged between a former military building and the ring road, but the sports facilities themselves are acceptable. Some people say that the whole place should soon benefit from a deep renovation. The place is accessible with the tramway.

Opened in 1939, and enlarged in 2011, it is neither by its size nor by its equipment that is conspicuous by the stadium Charles Mathon… but by the quality of play that its team has developed, and which has built a reputation as a «sublime citadel», when it evolved into Pro D 2! And many of Oyonnax's supporters are coming to applaud their team.

Reception capacity: 9 000 spectators.

Inaugurated in 2012, it is one of the most modern facilities for the practice of indoor athletics. Participating in the revitalisation of the sensitive district of La Duchère, this futuristic hall offers a complete athletics platform on nearly 6,500^m2! A 200 m circular track with 6 lanes, a 60 m sprint track with 8 lanes, workshops for the practice of jumps and throws. Regional, national and international meetings take place here.

Several formulas are possible from 2 to 6 hours, several scenarios: the confrontations in teams are done in complete safety and include all the equipment: gas, balls, framing, photo album and refreshments. Lozère Paintball is installed on a 2 hectare shaded field but the structure can also move at home for special occasions (birthdays, aperitifs...) or rent the field for a duration of 3 hours for groups of 10 people minimum (marbles in supplement). Unleashing of energy in all circumstances.
