For Nice sport, it’s a moment of glory with the 2015 Victoires du Sport ceremony. This Monday evening (6 p.m.) at the Palais Acropolis, the best male athlete from Nice, the best female athlete from Nice, and the best disabled athlete will succeed Alexy Bosetti, Camille Muffat, and Patrice Barratero, who were honored in 2014.
The cream of Nice’s sports world will gather for one evening at the Palais Acropolis this Monday night. Coming from all kinds of disciplines, they have achieved greatness in 2014. World senior champion, world junior champion, French champion, Olympic finalist, all will be celebrated for their achievements and their everyday commitment. The top three in each category (men, women, disabled), elected by the public in Nice, will receive their awards during a grand and lively ceremony.
A ceremony full of surprises since the names of the patrons of this edition will be announced at the very start of the evening, along with many segments highlighting young talents or iconic leaders of Nice sports.
Entry to this evening is free, but you will still need to have a free invitation, which you can pick up throughout the day at the main town hall and the annex town halls or at the sports department located at the Palais des Sports Jean Bouin.
