At all ages of life, the benefits of physical activity on health and well-being are undeniable. It is with this perspective in mind that the city of Nice, led by Christian Estrosi, is firmly committed to encouraging sports practice. For all its residents, young and old.
Walking is a simple and accessible activity. It stands out as one of the most beneficial practices both physically and mentally. Indeed, it stimulates the cardiorespiratory system, reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. While promoting an optimal psychological balance and preserving memory.
In this dynamic, the creation of urban health trails presents a concrete response to the citizens’ needs. After the success of the first loop inaugurated in Nice Nord in May 2023, the city is enthusiastic to announce the launch of a new trail in the Fabron district.
Designed by the city’s Maison Sport-Santé, this new loop, measuring 2.8 kilometers, offers a unique experience. Combining walking, physical exercises, and the discovery of local botanical heritage. The Maison Sport-Santé embodies an innovative proximity initiative whose mission is to accompany all residents of Nice. Guiding them towards regular sports practice tailored to their needs and wants. Regardless of their physical condition or socio-economic status.
The objective is clear: to make physical activity accessible to all, particularly to those who are most distanced from it. Thus, the Maison Sport-Santé primarily targets individuals for whom an adapted physical activity is prescribed by their doctor. But also those who have not yet taken the step towards regular exercise.
The Urban Health Trails initiative in Nice demonstrates the municipality’s steadfast commitment to public health. As well as the well-being of its inhabitants. The city of Nice stands as an inspiring example of local policy focused on the promotion of health through physical activity.
