Why how ?
What are the Montois de l’Olympe?
It is an event prepared by the city services and the Seml Saint-Jean Activities in collaboration with sports associations »
, says Véronique Launay, mayor. The people of Mont-de-l’Olympe were designed as a great celebration of sport, without competition or ranking. Twelve sports are represented, and seven prevention and awareness workshops will also be accessible
, adds Angeline Ramier, events manager at Seml Saint-Jean Activities. In addition, the Region’s traveling bus, Club 2024, will be present, to offer a virtual reality stand and a photo with the Phryge mascot.
Why is such an event being organized?
With sport in its DNA, Saint-Jean-de-Monts has been labeled Terre de jeux 2024 since 2020
, the councilor continues. A few days before the Olympics and before the school holidays so that the people of Montois can participate, we wanted to offer a large-scale event around sport and culture.
Sea walking, volleyball, fencing, tennis, basketball, football, judo, athletics are all available to try. As for prevention workshops, the public can discover sea rescue, first aid, and healthy eating.
Who can participate?
From 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., this event will welcome 401 children from 17 CM1-CM2 classes from the five communes in the territory of the Océan-Marais de Monts community of communes, as well as some CE2, who will parade from Océabul to the Espace des Oiseaux like at the Olympics
, specifies Angeline Ramier. But not only…
since Montois and tourists are invited to participate in sports initiations at the end of the day, BMX demonstrations by the Unity 4Ride association and breakdancing by Hotmilk breakers, as well as the The Breaking Wave show, Turns!.
What connection with the show Turns! ?
