Have you always dreamed of practicing your pole vault or 100m hurdles? One year ahead of the event of the decade, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Yvelines département has set up a traveling village,"Athletic Day", which will travel through 18 towns until September 1, 2023, to introduce the general public to athletics, thanks to fun and free workshops.
