Special features

The main asset of the Facility and more generally of the city of St Quentin-Fallavier is of course its exceptionnal geographic position.

The city has indeed a strategical position first in terms of transportation :

• It is 10 minutes away from the St Exupery airport and its TGV station.
• It is 15 minutes away from the city of Lyon ( the access to the A43 motorway being a mere 5 minutes away)

But also in terms of services :

• The hospital and functional reeducation centre is 15 minutes away.
• Hotels are only 10 minutes away.

The other asset is the existence and availability of a sports hall entirely dedicated to table tennis and furbished with high-level equipment.

Finally, the visiting delegation, thanks to the complete access it will be granted to the Reception Hall and Sports Hall, will have all the services (physical activity rooms, meeting rooms, catering area) on a single site.
