A major challenge for La Défense employees and students... The result is League of Defense, an unusual sporting and charity event taking place from October 1 to 3, 2034. The tournament will transform the parvis at La Défense into a gigantic gaming arena for local companies.
Organized by Paris La Défense, League of Defense combines sport, challenges and solidarity, and is aimed at employees and students alike in the famous business district. And at the heart of the competition is a noble cause: supporting the French Red Cross, since all proceeds from registration fees will be donated to the organization.
On the program: an explosive cocktail of activities, each more original than the last... Imagine companies and students taking part in a curling match of office chairs, or plunging into the heart of a human foosball table. Participants will also take part in a file relay race.
The goal? To win the ultimate trophy, a golden mug, the symbol of victory and glory in this tournament like no other. But beyond the competition, League of Defense is intended to be a moment of sharing, where students and professionals can exchange ideas, meet each other and, above all, have fun together.
Between the sporting and strategic challenges, participants and spectators will also have the opportunity to enjoy a variety ofactivities, including live concerts, giant karaoke, blind tests and themed evenings. These events are open to all, free of charge, for a festive end-of-summer experience.
It's an event we were able to attend for an evening: on the competitive side, each participating local business and school competes in challenges of varying degrees of zaniness. It's dynamic, and we enjoy cheering on the teams in sporting challenges such as soccer, dodgeball, a scooter race or a blind man's trial, and the food area, while small, is pretty cool.
We really appreciated the Red Cross area, which offers first-aid workshops, and more specifically how to perform cardiac massage on a mannequin. It's free and saves lives! We also really enjoyed the entertainment on offer for onlookers, in particular the blind test, with a very fun and authentic hostess. We even learned a few tricks!
On the other hand, the cold got the better of us, forcing us to leave before the DJ set, but there's no doubt that the evening ended on a high note, concluding the evening in the best possible way. So if you're passing through La Défense, don't hesitate to drop in!
So, whether you're a fierce competitor or just looking for a moment of relaxation and fun (or if you're coming to support a loved one or enjoy the entertainment), League of Defense awaits you for what promises to be a memorable day. Ready to have some fun, folks?
