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.

A vast and attractive stadium, a little original compared to the other municipal stadiums in Paris. Firstly, its location, in the verdant Bois de Vincennes. Then for its facilities: in fact, there's a velodrome here, so the stadium's name probably put you on the track. Then there's rugby! Because in the middle of the velodrome, it's not soccer that you're playing, as is often the case, but the sport embodied by the oval ball: this is the training and match venue of the PUC (Paris Université Club).

The AU Centre is a small, warm club that lacks ideas or experience. Founded some years ago, it is clearly set for a recreational practice of volleyball. Today, he brings together nearly 50 exclusively adult licensees, all of whom are accustomed to finding themselves on the three club grounds. The competition component is not forgotten. The club actually engages several teams in the French volleyball federation's «leisure» championships. Two joint teams in 4/4 and a male still in 4/4 defend the colours of the AU Workshop in the 2 Regional Championships. The trainings take place at the Sainte-Clotilde gymnasium and are led by Antoine Delorme, also president of the club. Always in this fun-volley logic, they alternate exercises to improve the different techniques and free game sessions. Finally note that the club is participating at the end of each season in a beach volleyball tournament organized in Saint Malo by France's Sports and Cultural Federation (F.S.C.F.).
