LIFe

“To take a lifelong leading part in one’s own physical condition and fitness”, this is an important message I want to share with everyone, and this is why I was determined that the city of Nice be in a position to host this competition and make it a major event in France. A sports-health showcase. In-deed, Nice also wants to initiate an ambi-tious program for Senior Sports in France with the aim of developping this Masters Games concept to a nation-wide level and promoting various aspects of sports practi-ce at all ages. The stakes are important, at a time when promoting physical activities and sports towards seniors is becoming a prio-rity, and when we have to tackle the issue of today’s sedentary lifestyle. This is not a matter of fate, as sport still remains the best way to take good care of one’s physical and mental health throughout life.

After the World Figure Skating Cham-pionships in 2012 and the Tour de France in 2013, and before the Euro 2016 football/ soccer competition, we want to make the European Masters Games an unforgettable experience for the thousands of visitors we welcome on this occasion, offering them the very best of Nice, a worldwide recognized welcoming place. Welcome everyone, wel-come to Nice.

LarGest cIty oF France

(tHe BeaUtIFUL)

is an outstanding natural arena in the heart of France’s largest metro area: nice-côte d’azur, 49 municipalities and 550,000 inhabitants.

In 2013, nice made a major leap forward in sports with the construction of allianz riviera, a superb, 35,000- seater sports arena, and the hosting of two major competitions: the 7th Francophonie Games and the 100th

tour de France, whose per-team time trial took place entirely in nice. and subsequent to the cycling tour de Fran-ce, the sailing tour de France made its great return in nice in July 2014 for the competition’s finish line. the european Masters Games will further this ambi-tion in october 2015, prior to nice’s hos-ting, a few months later, of four football matches of the UeFa euro 2016. photo credit:
