Created from 1908 by the Marquis Melchior de Polignac (director of Pommery and personal friend of Pierre de Coubertin), this 22-hectare site was in its day the most ambitious sports complex in France: a swimming pool, an athletics track, football and rugby pitches, a velodrome, a covered gymnasium. In July 1912, back from the Stockholm Olympics where French athletes had disappointed, the Marquis gathered 23,000 spectators here to welcome 27 Olympic athletes \u2014 the press called it the \"Reims Olympics\". In 1913, naval officer Georges H\u00e9bert established here the first French <strong>Coll\u00e8ge d'Athl\u00e8tes<\/strong> \u2014 forerunner of the modern national sports institute \u2014 where champion Jean Bouin trained. The First World War ended it all.
