SPORTS AND CULTURAL ASSOCIATIONS
These associations are open to sports
professionals and amateurs. For interested
persons there is the possibility of trying a
sport during one or two sessions free of
charge. Affiliating with an association allows
you to be in a truly French environment and
to establish contacts with the French.
At the forum of the associations, which
takes place every two years in October in the
exposition hall of Reims, you can discover
and compare various organizations and activities
and choose the one you prefer.
You will find all the active associations and
their addresses in l’Annuaire des Associations
(the phonebook of associations) published
by the city of Reims in cooperation with the
Regional Youth Information Center.
The city of Charleville - Mézières also
publishes every year a phonebook of
associations.
NEIGHBOURHOOD HOUSES
(Maisons de quartier)
Neighbourhood houses are public
institutions found in many neighbourhoods
that bring together several associations
involved in different leisure activities. They
are accessible to anyone. In these houses
volunteers and professionals develop
activities in an attempt to fulfil the needs of
different groups of the population.
The thirteen neighbourhood houses of
Reims develop social, familial, educational,
recreational, and cultural activities.
It is recommended that you contact your
local neighbourhood house in order to
participate in the activities organized in
your neighbourhood. The rules on financial
contributions are the same as for the sports
associations with fees depending on the
type of activity. You can discover all the
associations and the activities offered by
each neighbourhood house on the website
of the Association of the Maisons de
Quartier of Reims.

you can also find the activities of each
