Salle de sport Caméo

The Balzac high school, located in the city center of Tours, has long faced the challenge of lacking nearby sports facilities, forcing students to travel long distances. A suitable site for the new sports hall was identified following the relocation of the Pathé cinema from rue Michelet to rue Blaise-Pascal. Originally built in 1952 as Caméo, designed by Pierre Boille, the cinema closed in 1996 before being purchased by the mixed-economy real estate company of the city of Tours (SEMIVIT), which operates on behalf of the regional council of Centre.
