This long-standing project came to fruition thanks to the efforts of Claude Luzet (Kyoshi 6th dan Kyudo), with financial support from the Traditional Kyudo Federation, Seine et Marne Senator Vincent Eblé and the Noisiel town council, including Mayor Daniel Vachez.

The founding work lasted from 2012 to 2014, and continues today with a number of improvements, including last year’s covered patio.

Two successive days for this anniversary (Paris time GMT +2). On Saturday and Sunday, all kyudo clubs are invited to a friendly short-distance competition.
