Linking sport and culture is possible, thanks to the Louis XIV at the Château de Maintenon!

This week, ahead of the heritage days which will take place this weekend, the departmental Olympic and sports committee of Eure-et-Loir (CDOS 28) organized, for the third edition, the Louis XIV.

One of its organizers, Christian Coulon, details:

“We created the Louis XIV three years ago, it is a cultural and sporting event which aims to promote the heritage, historical, gastronomic, monumental and Eurelian by practicing a sporting activity. The name of this event was inspired by the Louis XIV canal built by Vauban at the request of the Sun King in order to supply the Palace of Versailles with water. This takes place around heritage days and offers time with the school world and time for the general public. “

Thus, Monday and Wednesday, students from the Racine colleges in Maintenon, Michel Chasles in Épernon and from the Mainvilliers EREA discovered the Château de Maintenon, “the interiors for a visit, the exteriors for sporting challenges”, specifies Christian Coulon. Supervised by their teachers, they participated in about ten workshops, in groups. The organizer explains: “It’s nice because it allows them to get to know each other better, to work together, to support each other without there being any competition. “

On the program, laser run, orientation, relay, archery, goose game, running, dance, acrosport and an obstacle course carried out blindfolded, guided by the voice of their comrades.

“The college students also took part in an architecture workshop. In Louis XIV style, there is no loser, there are only winners who have gained in group cohesion, who have discovered new things and who have had fun. “
