history
In the 1960s it was discovered in Nice that the infrastructure of sports facilities was deficient and a large sports center with an athletics stadium was planned, the construction of which began in 1970. Since the politician Charles Ehrmann had insisted on the implementation of standards for athletics events during the construction of the facility, numerous international competitions took place immediately after completion on August 4, 1973.
