The Nelson Paillou gymnasium, used weekly by sports associations, schoolchildren, and residents, has undergone major renovations to improve its usability. The primary intervention involved replacing the sports floor with a new surface suitable for multi-sport activities, along with a complete overhaul of the lighting system to meet current standards.
Further improvements to the building include repairing the existing heating system for better efficiency and reinforcing the electrical network to better accommodate events held in the gymnasium. These upgrades follow the insulation of the changing rooms completed in 2025 and are part of a broader effort to maintain and modernize this community facility.
The total cost of this project amounts to €137,863 including tax. The municipality received financial support from GrandAngoulême through its dedicated fund for municipal sports facilities, totaling €20,000 in 2025 for the sports floor and €9,658 in 2026 for the other renovated equipment (excluding changing rooms).
With this renovation, the Nelson Paillou gymnasium now boasts enhanced facilities, offering greater comfort and safety for associations, coaches, students, and all users.
