CHALLENGER CHERBOURG - LA MANCHE
Read moreThe department's biggest and most prestigious tennis tournament takes place every year in Cherbourg! The challenger, as it's called, takes place every year at the end of winter at the Chantereyne complex. Launched in 1994 as an ATP-certified indoor hard-court event with tens of thousands of euros in prize money, it has seen some of the biggest names in French and world tennis pass through its doors, from Rafael Nadal at the dawn of his incredible career to Novak Djokovic. On the French side, Tsonga, Grosjean, Clément and Simon have all hit the Cotentin ball.

The race, which serves as a fitting climax to a week of festivities, is aimed at women, who usually wear pink as a tribute to the fight against cancer. This is only to be expected, since the registration fees for the event are donated to the fight against this disease. The course is relatively short, and there's no competitive spirit here: we celebrate the pleasure of being together!
