Text description provided by the architects. The site is located north of the town in a location known as "Les Pins de Gouaillard et la Liberté" alongside the 824 Departmental road.
The main access is from Avenue des Lacs via the Chemin du Golf. A country road, that crosses the site, gives access to pedestrians and cyclists, notably from Lac de Christus.
© Stephane Aboudaram | WE ARE CONTENTSEncumbered by many ecological constraints throughout the entire site (the presence of protected species such as the false ringlet butterfly coenonympha oedippus and the European Nightjar caprimulgus europaeus and the proximity of wetlands and the Gouaillard stream) that influenced our design to produce Plaine des Sports, a dense and efficient area.
© Stephane Aboudaram | WE ARE CONTENTSThe stand acts as an architectural signal, a line in the landscape visible in both directions from the 824 Departmental Road. Perpendicular to the road, its location makes it visible in a "green tracking", a careful balance between planting and the presence of technical equipment (lighting masts, ball nets).
© Stephane Aboudaram | WE ARE CONTENTSThe stand emerges subtly from the ground, embedded into the site topography. The two levels of facilities absorb the natural slope of the site. This layout meets the functional requirements with facilities open to the public on the ground floor and spaces dedicated to sportsmen in continuity with the main playing field.
SectionThe entrance sequence, from the forecourt through the filter barriers in timber stakes on towards the stand ambulatories, gives spectators a panoramic view over the Plaine des Sports.
© Stephane Aboudaram | WE ARE CONTENTSConsistent with our design intent, planned as "sports terraces", the playing fields are linked in successive degressive steps along a west-east axis. The site slopes down 7m from its north-west highpoint.
© Stephane Aboudaram | WE ARE CONTENTSOutbuildings dedicated to plant and changing rooms create a second architectural focus in the landscape. Wedged between playing fields #2 and #3, this simple building is covered with timber sheets that project beyond its gables. These facades act as a reference point within site.
© Stephane Aboudaram | WE ARE CONTENTSIn addition to a Plaine des Sports
our proposal provides a park for open air activities
inhabited by regional species due to the attention given to the surrounding environment

Last year was particularly difficult for European Zespri growers due to extreme weather conditions
“the orchards are bouncing back with very promising volumes expected.” The French and Italian production of SunGold yellow kiwis went up by 25% compared to 2022 (+33% and +22% for France and Italy
thanks to favorable weather conditions and new orchards coming into production
SunGold kiwis should be present on French shelves until the first half of 2024
Zespri thus continues to strengthen its European production and extend its presence in stores throughout the year
Italy has 1,000 growers on 2,700 hectares (Emilia-Romagna and Lazio)
Promotional operation at Paris Saint-Lazare station“The steady increase in volumes produced each year in Europe confirms that yellow kiwis have clearly found their place on the French market,” according to Zespri
which organized a promotional operation at the Saint-Lazare train station in Paris last week to mark the start of the campaign
distribution of SunGold yellow kiwis and goodies
Zespri is also stepping up its communication campaign with digital posters and increased presence on social networks

Hanoi - Vietnam's international star Nguyen Quang Hai has finally completed a move to Europe
signing with French Ligue 2 side Pau Football Club
The midfielder has passed a medical and signed a two-year deal that has an option to extend his stay in southwestern France for another year
He has been handed his favourite No 19 jersey
which he wore for both former side Hanoi FC and the national team
“I have had medical tests at Pau Football Club
I have reached all requirements of health," Hai posted on his Facebook on June 29
I am an official player of Pau FC from this moment
media and all people who have been accompanying me on my journey
Vietnam's international offensive midfielder (45 selections) joins Pau FC for the next two seasons
A short video introducing the Vietnamese player is also available on the page
who also received offers from clubs in Thailand
will have about a month to make himself familiar with his new environment and earn a place in the starting 11
Pau FC's Coach Didier Tholot praised Hai's abilities but has not revealed where he will utilise them in the favoured 4-4-2 formation of the club
Hai will join his new teammates in Saint-Paul-les-Dax on July 3
ahead of pre-season matches against Ligue 2 champions Toulouse on July 8
They will then have a week's rest before beginning their Ligue 2 season on July 30 away to Guingamp
Last season they finished 10th out of 20 clubs in Ligue 2
Showing Quang Hai's popularity among Vietnamese football fanatics
Pau FC's Facebook page received hundreds of thousands of likes and comments since the news broke that he would be joining the side
the club has had more than 155,600 likes and 201,000 followers
nearly 10 times the numbers of the week before
also posted a picture of Hai in Pau's jersey along with Vietnam's national flag on their fan page
They welcomed Hai in both English and Vietnamese
While the Ligue 1 page usually posts transfer news from their own league
this is the first time such a deal from Ligue 2 has been highlighted
Hai is the eighth Vietnamese player to play abroad
While Vietnam has been represented in China
most of these overseas ventures proved unsuccessfully
Quang Hai will be hoping to buck that trend over the coming years

The preeminent venue for the circus in Cuba is the Carpa Trompoloco. Every year, this coliseum in the Havana municipality of Playa also becomes the main venue for Circuba, an international event considered as “the circus bridge of the Americas to the world.”
The proven technical and artistic quality and virtuosity that distinguish Cuba’s circus artists today have sparked interest among businesspeople from other parts of the world who want them for their own companies. The Compañía Havana circus group, which has won two awards and the 2013 Circuba Gran Prix (with their popular “Flying Trapeze” or “Flight of the Bird” act) is now the country’s top troupe, and markets its circus acts around the world.
This international impact, which is based on the influence of the Soviet circus from previous decades and the existence of the National Circus School (Escuela Nacional de Circo), has become the main incentive for Cuban artists who face a local shortage of industry jobs. The challenge for continuing to develop this profession—given low wages and the reality of having just the Carpa Trompoloco—is to promote other locations where shows can be held that meet the requirements of this performing art.
Behind every artist there are many years of effort and professional training to achieve a quality act. Sacrifice and perseverance are essential for being at one’s best in front of the audience. So, what is it that drives Cuban circus artists? What encourages them to continue presenting their art in the ring?
Talented young gymnast Iyolexán Torres Álvarez (31), another member of the group, has a tattoo on his left shoulder that alludes to the famous Canadian company Cirque du Soleil. His aerial silks act earned him one of the collateral prizes in the latest Cuban circus event, granted by the National Union of Cuban Writers and Artists (UNEAC).
The circus is on the rise, and with it, Cuba’s practitioners of this centuries-old art are enjoying their best moment. While the most attention today is going to major productions marked by theatrical elements—Cirque du Soleil style—the professionals in this specialty are a mix of a wise correlation between the old and the new, the guidelines that are defining the circus arts of today.

FRA) - Former Toulouse enforcer Finau Maka
the probable captain of Tonga in this year's Rugby World Cup
has signed for French fifth division club Pamiers
"It'll be a new challenge for me to see rugby at Federale 3 level," acknowledged the 34-year-old
who signed from Pro D2 outfit Aix-en-Provence
"I signed for one year and will hope to get to Federale 2 next season."
who played for Toulouse from 2001-10 winning European Cup titles in 2003
2005 and 2010 and the French league in 2008
the level will certainly be a step down from the heights of the World Cup
The club said that the "travel will risk being a little longer"
the furthest away trip being a 374km hike to Biscarosse on the Atlantic coast
The season opener comes at home against Libourne
but the Saverdun derby falls on November 6
with the World Cup running from September 9 until October 9
brother of Tonga coach and ex-All Black Isotolo Maka
only making his international debut at the age of 30 at the 2007 World Cup in France
He had qualified for Les Bleus through residency in time for the 2007 tournament
but was spurned by then-coach Bernard Laporte
from where he had moved to New Zealand as a child and spent fours seasons in the Super 14
Maka scored the opening try in his team's first game against the USA
establishing himself and his fellow combative Tongan backrowers as one of the stand-out units of the tournament
the number 8 enjoyed some repute during that tournament not only for his impact on the pitch but his large afro hairstyle
Maka's life in Toulouse was disrupted last year after his involvement in a well-publicised courtcase during which he spent 24 hours in police custody
He was eventually found not guilty by a Toulouse court on charges of exploiting a Tunisian immigrant who lived in a shed in his garden and worked for him illegally
Maka was accused of lodging the illegal resident in unacceptable conditions
employing a foreigner with no legal papers and forcing him to work on the black
But the Tongan international had denied the charges
saying he had acted out of charity in offering the destitute Tunisian work and board
There are approximately 193 casinos located on land in the country of France
in addition to the casinos that are available to the French online
The types of gambling in France include betting on Horses and Dogs as well as casino style gambling and French poker games
Our guide has complete lists of every casino in France and includes horse racing in France
dog racing in France and other pari-mutuel activities if applicable
The following casino sites are not likely to be licensed by the French Government
given the fact that that particular Government
regardless of the EU laws regarding gambling and fair trade does not issue license to casinos operating online
Slotland Casino offers casino apps that are available all over the world for users of iPad
Gambling on the internet became legal in April of 2010 when the French Parliament passed a bill that legalized ‘circle games’ meaning poker type games played against other live players
online casino style games are specifically prohibited in France
There are land-based casinos in France that offer legal blackjack play
There are also online casinos that offer the game of blackjack to players in France
what you won’t find are online casinos that are licensed by the French Government offering online casino games like Blackjack
known to the French of course as vingt et un.This is because these particular games of chance were excluded in 2010 when France began to license online casinos
and pretty much any casino gambling game that is played against the house in an online casino environment
and poker played against other live poker players which the French refer to as ‘circle gaming’
The following casinos are available in the French language
and most offer customer service in the French language; however
they do not necessarily allow casino gambling from people that are connecting to the internet using a French IP
Even the legal gambling included within the resolution did included some stipulation; the bill requires that online poker players and sports bettors from France gamble only at online entities that are legally licensed and taxed by the Government of France
These changes were officially made into law on April 6th 2010
Another new change actually including ISP blocking any poker or other gambling websites that do not end in a .fr extension
French poker players can play at Slotland.fr but not at PokerStars.com
yet not so popular step that the Government made was to tax poker revenue
Casino sites that allow poker players from France to play real money poker games on using their software are subject to a 2% tax on all cash game pots
Bets made on sports and racing come with a 7.5% tax
Some of these online poker sites cover all or a portion of that tax for their players
and others raised their rake accordingly passing the tax back to their players from France
Since 1987 the legal gambling age for people gambling within France has been 18
the minimum legal gambling age in France was 21
