Organized by Premiers de Cordée, this Escape Day is part of a program conducted throughout the year in France. The association offers sports activities in hospitals and medico-social structures.

A 2026 Edition Under the Theme of Sports and Team Spirit
The Escape Day 2026 adopts the theme “blue-white-red, in supporter mode for the Blues!” This direction echoes a year marked by several international competitions. The children present are invited to cheer on French athletes.
About twenty sports disciplines will be offered at the Allianz Riviera. Dance, squash, table tennis, climbing, and football make up the program. Each activity aims to encourage practice and exchanges.
The Escape Day will also take place in other cities in France. The schedule includes stops in Le Mans on May 6, in Bordeaux on May 27, and in Rouen on June 10.
