Of the 120 beds, 30 are in hypoxic chambers: rare equipment in France and popular with athletes, which simulates altitude up to 4,000 m (improved performance, increased production of red blood cells, etc.)

It was also a question of making all the equipment accessible to people with disabilities and of making the CREPS of Vichy a national reference in terms of welcoming disabled sports. The result is an ultra-modern site labeled E3C1 and which has already been chosen as a preparation center by many French and foreign teams for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games: the American triathlon team, the Japanese volleyball team, the French para-fencing team, the French women's and men's sitting volleyball teams, and the French wheelchair rugby team...

Congratulations to all the employees who contributed to this success in a consortium with the architectural agencies Denis Ameil and AA GROUP, the design offices Ingérop, Ergozen, Eodd, Grande Cuisine Ingénierie, the economist ECIB and the operator and maintainer ENGIE.
