Your attractive title
WORLD FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS (MONTPELLIER)

Were you also an unconditional fan of the duo Nelson Monfort / Philippe Candeloro? Have you also ever had chills while listening to Swan Lake? If you answered yes to one of these two questions, then go at the end of March to Montpellier exhibition center.

WORLD TRACK CYCLING CHAMPIONSHIPS
(SAINT QUENTIN EN YVELINES)
Location : Saint Quentin En Yvelines
Dates : October 12 to October 16
No Tour de France, we know it too well. And then it's July, and we have bigger fish to fry than spending our day waiting for cyclists to pass by. 70 km/h . No, what we are suggesting is that you go to the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines velodrome, south of Paris, in mid-October to discover track cycling.
Fast, spectacular and rhythmic, this sport is truly underrated. Plus, the French are pretty good!

BASQUE PELOTA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP (BIARRITZ)
Dates : October 16 to 22
Location : Biarritz
To end the year, we invite you to go to Basque soil to discover the regional sport: Basque pelota. Indeed, Biarritz welcomes basque pelota world championships during one week.
Derived from the game of tennis, pelota is a confrontation between two teams who must take turns returning the “pelota” (the ball). The team that does not return the ball loses the point. Protect yourself, throws can reach 300 km/h!
