“I know from being a passionate lover for always, how much sport can convey wonderful values of solidarity, a sense of effort, and humanism.” Christian Estrosi, four-time French motorcycle champion, wants to prioritize the place of sports in Nice. After a study initiated in March 2008, the sports facilities were found to be unsuitable for high-level sports. Therefore, a vast renovation has been undertaken. 1.7 million euros have already been spent and this should continue throughout the year.
The Pasteur and Eucalyptus halls, as well as the Vauban stadium, have been renovated. “A high-level sports policy must be the spearhead of a broader policy that supports sports practice for all, both young and less young,” continued the deputy mayor. He announced that starting in October, the municipal swimming pools will have extended hours for the public. A “new look” solarium has even been created at the Ariane pool. Christian Estrosi does not intend to stop there and has big plans. Nicolaï, Clua, and Mearelli stadiums will also be renovated during the year. Furthermore, a combat sports hall, a multi-disciplinary playground, and a specialized athletics site are expected to be established. When will Nice be a candidate for the Summer Olympic Games?
