Description

After its “Terre de Jeux” label obtained in 2019, the Agglomeration Community of Niortais, the towns of Niort and Mauzé-sur-le-Mignon, fully committed to sport, have joined forces to create a Preparation Center for Olympic Games and thus make the area of Niort an adoptive home for athletes who would like to come and train there. Several sports facilities, thanks to their diversity, have been selected to accommodate able-bodied and disabled athletes: the Venise Verte sports complex, the Acclameur, the Pré-Leroy swimming pool, the table tennis center, the Gymnase du Grand Feu and the future dojo of Mauzé-sur-le-Mignon.
