Miramas: the Spring of sport and culture, the novelty that enlivens the summer

Among the new features this season, the “Spring of sport and culture” stands out as one of the most original initiatives. Launched in April, this new system continues until the end of June with a simple ambition: take sporting and cultural activities out of their usual settings to install them in emblematic places in the town.

Associations, sports clubs and local cultural structures were mobilized to offer the public experiences combining practice, discovery and awareness of heritage.
