The Fédération Française d'Escrime (FFE) is the umbrella organization for fencing in France. It was founded in 1906 and represented around 61,000 fencers in 2012. Isabelle Lamour has been President since 2013, while Catherine Defoligny-Renault is currently Secretary General .
history
The Fédération Française d'Escrime was created in 1906 from the merger of the Société d'Encouragement de l'Escrime and the association Escrime Française . At that time the sport of fencing had neither fixed rules nor an international umbrella organization, not even the type of weapons was uniformly regulated. Among other things, this led to a boycott of French fencers at the 1912 Olympic Games , as the Italians used different equipment. These disagreements could not be resolved until the Fédération Internationale d'Escrime was founded in 1913. With the establishment of the French federation a few years earlier, the French fencers wanted to lead by example. In its early days, the aim of the FFE was to found new fencing clubs and establish the sport of fencing outside of the military that dominated fencing at the time. Even today the association tries to preserve the values of the sport of fencing and the French influence in international fencing and to win new members for fencing.

organization
At the beginning of each Olympiad, a general assembly elects a 34-member committee ( comité directeur ), which in turn appoints a bureau fédéral , which currently has ten members. This is for certain tasks individual committees ( commissions a) z. B. for competitive sports, refereeing, senior citizens or marketing. The President is also elected by the General Assembly on the proposal of the Board of Directors.
In 2012 the FFE represented a total of 61,047 fencers in around 800 clubs. This corresponds to about 15 fencers per 10,000 inhabitants. Of these, 16,331 were female and 44,716 were male. The majority of fencers are young, the average age was 13. The fencing sport represented by the FFE was the most successful Olympic sport in France in 2012 with 115 medals at the Olympic Games (41 gold, 40 silver, 34 bronze).
