Success Story

It took a matter of minutes for graffiti artist Harry Hang, wielding cans of spray paint across an immense wall, to conjure up a picture of three exceptional athletes with ties to Créteil: cyclist and Tour de France winner Laurent Fignon, Senegalese rugby player Magnamé Koïta and soccer star Laetitia Tonazzi. That’s just one example of how Créteil Soleil’s Urban Days event, now in its fifth year, gives pride of place to the urban culture at the heart of the region’s identity.
