For several years, the Conseil Général has actively contributed to the development and promotion of sport, by way of a generous system of targeted aid. It has developed a policy to support the discovery and practice of a wide range of sports, open to all throughout the whole of Gironde.

Aware of the fact that sport is a resource for social inclusion and stable development, the departmental institution works with young people in particular.

An influential partner for young people, the Direction des Sports et de la Vie Associative supports all organisations involved in sport in Gironde, with an educational, cultural and social dimension.

The Conseil Général maintains more than 1,400 clubs across the département, providing over 900 jobs to the community and substantial support to sports clubs which contribute greatly to the positive lifestyle of the inhabitants of Gironde. 

Over 70 club sports to choose from
