It's gone for a small stride of 10 km, on foot or roller. In mid-November on the Prado beaches.

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. For a good hour (only during school vacations), you'll have the privilege of going behind the scenes of this temple of soccer!

This championship brings together over 80 high-level professionals from all over the world to the David beaches. A unique event in Marseille, as this is the first time that the Marseille city has a world-class test with a series of W-shaped slalom courses. A week that celebrates windsurfing and gliding sports.
