Full steam ahead for sports at La Pierre Verte
For fans of team sports, our Activities Centre has a number of suitable facilities: 2 multi-sports pitches (football, basketball, handball) with balls available for loan. A tennis court is also available next door, free of charge. Tennis rackets and balls can be hired from the Activities Centre or reception. This court can also be used for badminton.
Fitness attitude: even on holiday
Opposite the courts, an entertainment desk (with tables, benches and a relaxation corner) is surrounded by areas dedicated to fitness. Several pieces of equipment are freely accessible: a push-pull combination, a swing, a squat machine, a rowing machine, a ‘skater’ and a ‘moon walker’. Under the shade sails, residents can use the equipment at their own pace! And, of course, they can take part in the various classes supervised by the activity leaders!
In the centre, behind our giant screen (for sports replays, evening entertainment, open-air cinema, etc.) you can play table tennis, or a little further away enjoy our new home-ball ® . This unique 100% French sports facility features 3 sports: Home Ball® Football, Handball and Home Ball® Wheelchair Handball.
