Known for

Due to its proximity to the National Velodrome (7km), place of residence of the national teams, the track welcomes promising young French athletes and seniors during the training sessions of the local club and their training camp.

The club has also trained many young athletes who have taken part in international championships (Europe – World) like, for example, a junior who became vice-world champion (cruiser) in 2016. These young people have joined sport-study sections and are now members of DN1 but remain attached to the club of their beginnings. They come to train there and supervise the new generation.
