Sports and leisure activities Châteauroux

Since 1964, the Gaston-Petit stadium, renamed in 1971 in tribute to the former mayor of the city, is the expression of Expression of the Berrichonne. While she already welcomed the team of France Hope, the forum was talking about it in the summer of 2011 with a last generation synthetic turf. Chateauroux will therefore remain the third professional club of the hexagon, after Nancy and Lorient, to have such a coating.

Inauguration: September 13, 1964.

Capacity: 17 072 places.

Record attendance: 15 896 spectators for Chateauroux - Olympique de Marseille, January 24, 1998.

Organised by the departmental fisheries federation, with the support of the general council and professionals in the field, this exhibition was born in 1996 and is still more successful. Today, it attracts more than 15 000 visitors. It takes place every year in February to develop fishing activity and fishing tourism, allowing fishermen to acquire promotional material and discover new equipment.
