Marseille hospital provides sport, play and support for children with cancer

A specialised centre in the hills above Marseille provided children with cancer a range of activities designed to support both physical and emotional well-being. The facility offered opportunities for sports, coordination exercises, and outdoor games, helping children maintain strength and motor skills while spending less time in hospital.

The centre also hosted day visits, weekend stays, and longer camps, including sports and pre-ski training sessions, allowing children to participate in group activities and social interactions in a safe environment. Meals, recreational activities, and structured exercises were also provided to improve both physical health and emotional morale.
