In Mandelieu, sport is every day!
Capital of various sports, the city establishes a dynamic of global health, accessible to all, by promoting access to physical activities.
Sport by prescription: an innovative system
To meet the needs of people with long-term illnesses (ALD), the city offers a free three-month medical-active course. This program, which has already benefited around sixty people since 2021, offers twice-weekly sessions focused on coordination, flexibility, muscle strengthening and endurance. The results speak for themselves: a notable improvement in the physical abilities and general well-being of the participants. In 2024, this system will be extended to polypathological patients not classified as ALD, on medical advice.
A varied and accessible sports offering
The “Sport yourself well” program attracts hundreds of registrants each year for various classes: abs/glutes, gentle gym, cardio sculpt, badminton, pilates, and much more. The Municipal Sports School, multi-sport courses and summer activities for children also make it possible to raise awareness among young people of the importance of physical activity, with more than 800 participants in 2022/2023.
Promoting health through sport, and at all ages
Mandelieu-La Napoule’s commitment to healthy sport is manifested through various initiatives affecting all age groups. Municipal agents benefit from adapted sports activities and well-being days, with the planned introduction in 2024 of active breaks to combat a sedentary lifestyle. At the same time, from an early age, children are encouraged to adopt an active lifestyle through specific school programs. These programs include educational health interventions, pedometer challenges and initiatives such as “Know how to ride a bike” to sustainably anchor these good habits. In addition, the “Sport by Nature” project highlights the exceptional natural assets of the town, offering unique opportunities for outdoor sport. Family hikes, summer activities for adults and the Municipal Nautical Center “Les Voiles de Lérins” allow everyone to practice physical activity in a magnificent setting.
Focus on the Sport Health Alliance
Since 2022, Mandelieu-La Napoule has welcomed a new generation sports-health medical center. This 700 m² high-tech structure offers complete and personalized support, from leisure sports to performance, for young people and seniors alike, whether they are athletes or suffering from chronic pathologies.
Mandelieu-La Napoule thus asserts itself as a dynamic and committed city, where sport is more than a simple activity, but a real way of life serving the health and well-being of all.
About Mandelieu-La Napoule
A seaside town, Mandelieu-La Napoule displays a certain gentle way of life, chic and relaxed in the Côte d’Azur France. Discreet, on a human scale, it is the essential town to the west of the Alpes-Maritimes. It is at the heart of an exceptional territory between the Mediterranean, Estérel and Forêt du Tanneron, irrigated by multiple canals which cross its districts and bordered by the bucolic banks of Siagne.
Sport is in the spotlight there all year round, due to its history, since it was the aristocracy who imported elegant sports there at the end of the 19th century. Today, its facilities and its geography between sea, rivers and hills allow the practice of water and equestrian sports, golf, tennis, mountain biking, hiking, particularly in the hills which are covered at the start of the year with mimosa , emblematic flower of the winter sun on the Côte d’Azur.
