The Castellet track, or circuit Paul-Ricard, celebrates its 50th anniversary! Created in 1970 by Paul Ricard, the famous automobile circuit is a mythical track where the French F1 Grand Prix takes place every year. Born from the very impulse of Paul Ricard with the support of drivers such as Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Henri Pescarolo in the 1970s, it is one of the most beautiful tracks in Europe, spread over 5.8 km, which can boast no less than 13 bends and a straight line called Mistral 1.8 km long. In the Var region, the spirit of its builder blows the spirit of its builder by also being a leisure site dedicated to motor sports. The 964 m long, illuminated go-kart track offers five different layout solutions. Multi GT driving courses are organized on Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Audi to live an extraordinary experience. Baptisms on the track, in the company of professional drivers, give you the opportunity to experience the sensations of driving aboard a racing car from the inside. The F1 simulators of the Grand Prix Hall remain, if you don't dare to put on a suit and helmet. At the heart of this hyper-structure is a 964-metre karting track where you can take part in driving courses.

Do you know Marseille's soccer sanctuary? The Stade Vélodrome was built in 1937 by the architect Ploquin. This "temple" of Olympique de Marseille is a mythical, thrilling venue where fans and locals alike are passionate about their favorite team, OM, as well as rugby matches with neighboring Toulon's RCT. Thanks to the European Cup, awarded to France in 2016, priority was given to the construction of this "new" stadium with its ultra-modern design . Changes were made to the structure itself: the stadium is now completely covered! With this^4th extension completed on August 15, 2014, the stadium is now classified in the UEFA "Elite" category. The new stadium now accommodates 67,395 spectators, in optimal conditions of comfort with renewed seating, and improved visibility thanks to a new configuration and seats closer to the pitch. The pillars supporting the roof do not affect the field of vision, and the lighting power is increased and distributed all along the structure for better balance. Last but not least, the adjoining shopping center features restaurants, an auditorium and boutiques. Take a guided tour of the Orange Vélodrome and plunge into the heart of the legendary club.
