FDJ Supports Renovation of Historic Vélodrome Jacques-Anquetil - Paris
Velodrome entrance - General view. Pierre Rabadan, deputy mayor in charge of sport, visited the Jacques-Anquetil velodrome to sign a sponsorship agreement with La Française des Jeux and the Fondation du Patrimoine for its forthcoming renovation. Inaugurated in the heart of the Bois de Vincennes over a hundred years ago, the velodrome has played a major role in the history of national and international cycling. The Cipale hosted the track cycling events of the 1900 and 1924 Olympic Games, as well as soccer and rugby. It has also been the venue of choice for the Tour de France finishes for several consecutive years. Thanks to the signing of this agreement, which will invest 1.2 million euros in the project, its unique architectural features, comprising Eiffel-style grandstands built by architect Jean Camille Formigé, will be restored and refurbished.
