He also became known in France as the head of the CREPS PACA triathlon training center in Boulouris. In the French triathlon media, Houseaux is nowadays only an entraîneur national, who is skeptical of the Ironman events, and in his function as head of the CREPS PACA (CREPS = Center d'Education Populaire et de Sport, PACA = Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur) in Boulouris, Saint-Raphaël , which Boulouris once again expanded to become a triathlon elite center of excellence.
In France, there are two such centers or pôles for top triathlon sport : Boulouris and Montpellier, both with an elite department (Pôle France) and a junior or U23 department (Pôle Espoirs France).
