Sports and leisure activities Rhônes-Alpes

This artificial water reservoir, for recreational purposes, follows the construction of an earthen dam 200 m long and about 20 m high. It was put in water in 1975 on the site of peat bogs and former marshy meadows fed by the springs of the Eyrieux. This 50 ha lake is today an ecosystem of great biodiversity. In summer, the leisure center offers many nautical, sports and educational activities: sailing school, fishing, horse-drawn carriage rides, nature trail... Camping on site.

It's fair to say that Ardèche Loisirs Mécaniques has pulled out all the stops when it comes to developing motorized sports! Without doubt one of the largest parks dedicated to this activity in the region. There's a choice of karting on a 700-meter track, buggies or quads on a prepared track or on supervised rides in the surrounding area, motorcycles on a circuit or on an enduro tour, and finally, for lovers of war games and strategy, an open-air paintball field at your disposal.

Wooded area and in six hectares: Relaxation, fishing, children's games, patterns, health course, walk. A cafe-restaurant for a small break.

As a result of global warming at high altitude, this glacier - one of Europe's largest skiable glaciers - is losing its thickness, making it impossible to ski in July and August. So, depending on conditions, it's a late spring/early summer opening to enjoy this unique site. After taking the Jandri Express and a sub-glacial funicular, you can climb the Dôme de Puy-Sallié to an altitude of 3,421 metres, opening up a superb panorama from the Belvédère des Écrins. Pedestrian access for a unique walk on the heights.

A 4-season resort that has invested heavily in recent years to improve its ski area - 57 runs, 125 km of trails, 21 ski lifts - by offering all the new glides. Hands-free ski passes that can be recharged via the Internet. In summer, the resort is transformed to make room for many outdoor activities: road biking, mountain biking, bike park, hiking, trail, adventure course, via ferrata... Exceptional playground.

Tucked away in the heart of the village, this open-air skating rink operates equally well in summer and winter. Its generous 1,000^m2 ice surface is protected by a sturdy roof, while the bleachers are easily accessible to blade enthusiasts. A pleasant setting for family entertainment, including introductory sessions and sliding lessons led by a qualified instructor, field hockey introductions, afternoon fun activities and evening sessions.

Wonderful! In the middle of winter, you can enjoy the indoor pool, but also a heated outdoor pool with a view of the snowy mountains. The space is accessible, summer and winter, with a view on the Aravis mountains. There are many areas for children. The aquatic area has a fitness area with sauna, hammam, fitness room and UVA. To quench your thirst or have a snack, a friendly café area is set up on the wooden terrace and offers take-away sales. Courses.

At an altitude of 1,450 m, Le Collet d'Allevard is a family resort par excellence. It also owes its reputation to its nightlife!

Other winter activities include snowshoeing on 5 marked itineraries with free access, or Nordic skiing with 50 km of trails. In summer, hiking takes center stage, with numerous marked trails.

With 75 hectares of unspoilt nature and 4 lakes just 15 km from Grenoble, the Bois Français leisure park is the largest peri-urban natural site in the region.

Swimming in the Taillefer lake, boating on the Vercors lake, fishing on the Belledonne lake and sliding on the Chartreuse lake.

A beautiful beach of blond sand opening onto a body of water of a unique indigo color, surrounded by forest and with the rounded mountains of the Ardèche plateau as a backdrop... This is the promise of the Issarlès lake, very popular in summer. Pedal boats, windsurfing boards, water games and a supervised beach are all available to make your day or stay at the lake an enchantment. For those who don't fancy a swim, there are well-maintained paths (parcours de santé) around the lake to keep you out of the heat.

A swimming pool equipped with a paddling pool, a playful pool, a slide and a sports pool and outside, in summer, a swimming pool, a pentaglisse, playgrounds and a bar, the opening of Carré d'Eau, in 2007, was an event expected by the Burgiens. It is rather a good equipment, but it suffers from some imperfections. A victim of its success, the 25 m sports pool often lacks water lines to satisfy all swimmers. The outdoor recreation pool suffers from the same sub-design with only two water lines of 50 m caught from the blast. It is better to target the least busy slots. During the cold season, changing rooms like ponds, fed by the city's wood boiler, are certainly ecological, but not very hot. And it is better to provide a good bathrobe for the bath exit. At long last, the staff will be informed if all aircraft in the spa area, whose occasional breakdowns are not always well reported, are working before paying a supplement.

Olympique Lyonnais was born in May 1950, the bearer of two clubs: FC Lyon, a historic club that participated in the first final of the French Cup, and LOU, whose soccer section is called Lyon Olympic. After the Second World War, football in Lyonnais looks for a second breath, given by a group of round ball enthusiasts who create Olympique Lyonnais. The team plays with a white jersey with red and blue colours of the city of Lyon for the first time on August 27 th, 1950 in Gerland. From the first season, the OL is France's champion of D 2 and access to the elite. The seasons follow and do not look like the results are not always equal to expectations. The first trophy, a French Cup, was won in 1964. The 1960 s announced the arrival of a great club in the French championship and great players go through Gerland: Chiesa, Lacombe, Domenech, Bowl, Di Nallo or Chauveau. In 1976, the OL lost the final of the French Cup to Marseille, before starting a descent to the D 2. In 1983, after 28 years of the elite, the OL went down. The club has trouble recovering and settling in D 2. In distress, the OL discovers an ambitious man, arriving with a plan to lead the D 2 club to the European Cup in the next five years: Jean-Michel Aulas. Five years after its descent, the OL returned to the D 1 in 1989. A true renaissance is beginning and the most skeptical are obliged to recognize the talents of Jean-Michel Aulas and his team. At the dawn of the st century, the team strengthens and recruits a Brazilian magician named Sonny Anderson. From the 2000/2001 season, the OL won the League Cup, its first trophy since 1973. And the titles will follow. The OL won 7 French champion titles (from 2002 to 2008), wins 2 French Cups (2008 and 2012) and 1 League Cup (2001). The Champions of the League, including a semi-finals in 2010, lost against Bayern in Munich. The club, led by Jean-Michel Aulas, continues the beautiful adventure with his men's team, but also with a female team, the only one in France to have won a triple League of Champions, Championship and National Cup. Since the beginning of 2016, the OL has been evolving at the Olympique Lyonnais in Caudataires (now named the Groupama Stadium), a magnificent complex dedicated to football.
