The French women's sabre team

The women’s sabre team, under the guidance of their assistant national coach Damien Touya, chose Saint-Lary-Soulan for its exceptional setting and top-quality sports facilities. For a week, these champions worked hard in the Pyrenean mountains, taking advantage of the fresh air and altitude to improve their fitness and technique.

The fencers were warmly welcomed by the local community, who rallied round to make their stay enjoyable. The residents of Saint-Lary-Soulan were able to watch fencing demonstrations, chat with the athletes and cheer them on in their quest for Olympic medals.

The French women’s sabre team is one of the most successful in the world, with an impressive record of Olympic and world medals. These determined athletes are role models for young fencing hopefuls in France and around the world.

Preparing for the Olympic Games 2024 is a crucial step in their journey, and they have chosen Saint-Lary-Soulan as their training venue to put themselves in the best possible conditions.

This collaboration between the women’s sabre team and the community of Saint-Lary-Soulan is an example of a winning partnership. The athletes benefited from an environment conducive to their preparation, while the region had the opportunity to host renowned sportswomen and promote its commitment to sport.

We look forward to following the women’s sabre team at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, and we know that their stay in Saint-Lary-Soulan will be remembered by all those lucky enough to meet them.
