Dynamism and beauty of the region makes Lyon city a famous place, in the top three of the most attractive cities in Europe. Numerous shows and international events take place in Lyon thanks to easy transport and accommodation quality.

Our presence during the European Masters Indoor Championships in Ghent (BELGIUM), the European Non-Stadia Championships in Thionville (FRANCE) and recently the World Masters Athletics Championships in Sacramento (USA) has reveal a huge interest from the athletes to compete in Lyon.

We are very grateful for this support, which is a guarantee of success and participation. We are happy to host athletes of all around the world.

A bientôt à Lyon !
