Eco-responsible event — Zero plastic bottle

As part of its commitment to organizing an eco-responsible event, the FFAEMC is pursuing a clear objective of “Zero plastic bottles.”

According to this objective, no bottled water will be sold or distributed throughout the duration of the competition, for athletes, delegations, or the public.

All participants are therefore kindly requested to bring their own reusable container (such as a water bottle). Reusable water bottles will also be available for sale in the event shop on the competition site. Please note that other than that, no alternative will be provided on site.

Drinking water stations and deposit cups will be available at the Sports complex to ensure that everyone can refill their containers conveniently. A friendly reminder that tap water in France is safe to drink and complies with strict public health standards.

Thank you for your understanding and for contributing to this collective effort.
