Entertainment villages along the route

Real entertainment villages will be crossed by the torch relay route:

• the Josette-et-Roger-Mikulak stadiumcapital of athletics in Anjou, home of many major athletics events for nearly 20 years and preparation center for the Games;

• Heart of Maine, living space that connects the two banks, panoramic balcony overlooking the river, offering the possibility of hosting inclusive and open disciplines, in the field of health and para-sports.

This will be the last qualifying competition for the Paris Games,
• Urban cultures. They will be in the spotlight in particular with breakdancing, a new discipline at the Games this summer in Paris, which is increasingly uniting the public and in particular young people.
