Sport in the City: World Class Outdoor Club — Best Summer Training on the French Riviera

The French Riviera is famous for its indecently high concentration of sunny days. So it is simply impossible to resist practicing outdoor sports. And why should we resist?

Outdoor sessions help us diversify our fitness routine, relaunch an established sporting practice, and most importantly, soak in oxygen and vitamin D. Whether it be the breathtaking mountain views or the azure seaside, these activities become much more exciting and therefore, more efficient. Breathing techniques help us oxygenate every cell of our bodies, while a whole community of like-minded people turn this physical activity into a full-fledged ritual.

Formula 1 Racing Ace Charles Leclerc Hails His Brand New Fan Club in Beausoleil

Beausoleil has distinguished itself by creating a special club of supporters for Charles LeClerc. The medal of the City and member’s card n° 1 have been given to the Formula 1 driver in his honour. Charles arrived in Beausoleil incognito on his black bike with the Monegasque license plate “CL16”. But once he removed his helmet it was clear it was none other than the Monegasque prodigy. As a child of the Principality, the rising star of Formula 1 obviously does not lack support in Beausoleil’s regal neighbour Monaco. That support has risen exponentially since he left the Sauber stables for the red colours of the prancing horse. And now, in addition, he can count on his new fan club in Beausoleil called “Club supporters of the pilot Charles Leclerc“.
