There, you can practice 40 different disciplines including 27 Olympics on more than 50 hectares of sports facilities. In our drive to allow sports to be practised by as many people as possible and in the most suitable conditions for performance, the CPO has seen and sees the renovation of a number of sports facilies, including the Pierre de Coubertin Center, creating a hypoxic and climatic space, which is increasingly sought after by athletes to optimize their physical and recovery capacities and, on the other hand, the rehabilitation and modernization of Vittel's sporting legacy. “The VITTEL site and facilities are ideal for to the preparation of the French teams, who find in the resort the calm and the tools necessary for a complete quality preparation. »Jean-Pierre DE VINCENZI ((coach of the French men's basketball team - 1995/2009) "This unit of place is very rare and yet capital for top athletes" Franck Esposito, bronze medalist for the Barcelona Olympics.
