Water sports and leisure activities Bassin minier

All those who studied in Valenciennes surely remember the Vignoble nautical base and its canoeing sessions! Originally, it was just a marsh that was enlarged. With its 54 hectares, it is a real green lung not far from the city, where you can practice different water sports. You can also opt for a walk or a jog along its 4,750 meters of banks. Be careful, you don't (normally) swim in the Vignoble pond.

All the pleasure of sailing on the round basin, a place suitable for windsurfing, canoeing, Optimist... Of course, the whole team manages the training and the animation of the different clubs, as well as the preparation of the boat licence. The groups have not been neglected since formulas adapted to leisure activities allow to spend a day in the open air while taking advantage of the numerous other activities of the base: mountain biking, rollerblading, archery, etc.

A genuine new-generation leisure center covering more than 6,000^m2. Within its walls, 4 pools, a waterslide, a wellness area and a gym are just some of the facilities on offer. And let's not forget the star of the show: a 20 m-deep semi-underground diving pit, visible from the outside through a huge picture window. The on-site team works hard every day to liven up the space with themed evenings and activities.
