Conferences, workshops, stands, walks, massages: “Nîmes, Well-being destination” comes back even stronger

La mobilisation devient plus forte encore pour cette deuxième édition de “Nîmes, destination bien-être”.

La deuxième édition de "Nîmes, destination bien-être" se déroulera samedi 1er juin, de 10 h à 19 h, sur l'Esplanade et d'autres lieux non loin de là.

Health assistant Dolorès Orlay-Moureau showed a big smile this Thursday, May 23 during the presentation at the town hall of the second edition of "Nîmes, well-being destination&quot ;. It will be organized on the Esplanade and in other nearby locations on Saturday June 1 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Its initiative, validated two years ago by Mayor Jean-Paul Fournier, is growing more and more with 93 workshops, 14 mini-conferences, a sporting challenge and thematic walks.

Surrounded by the sports assistant Nicolas Rainville, the elected official in charge of sports and health Dominique Lacambra and the starred chef Jérôme Nutile, sponsor of the event (all like the triple jumper Jean-Marc Pontvianne), Dolorès Orlay-Moureau indicated that more than a hundred applications had been submitted, which made it possible to renew half of the participants. "We inform, receive advice from health professionals during this beautiful day during which everything is open to the public who must come in casual attire", indicates the & #39;health assistant.

Visitors will be able to learn about muscle awakening, Tai Chi, good-natured gym, pilates and healthy boxing, to name just a few examples.  The interactive workshops will allow you to talk about parent-child mediation, receive nutritional advice, colorimetry, and benefit from massages. Everything is free.
