In detail
Now it’s your turn! Which foods do you think are best to eat before or after physical activity? Make your choices, compare them to different examples, and find out what they actually do for your body.
In this interactive workshop, you’ll take part in a simple, hands-on activity focused on nutrition and physical activity. The goal: to identify the foods you find most beneficial at different stages of your workout, and then compare your answers with examples and recommendations.
Throughout the workshop, Accustica will guide you in deciphering what these foods contain and help you better understand the role of digestion, nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. It’s an accessible way to explore nutrition in a broad sense and gain a better understanding of how it supports the body when it’s under significant physical strain.
The workshop takes place in small groups, in a fun, interactive format where everyone can participate, share ideas, and put their knowledge to the test.
Accessible from the “Village of Sustainable Gastronomy— Organizations Committed to Local and Responsible Food,” extend your visit by meeting the other organizations and checking out the activities on offer, and leave with plenty of tips for adopting a more local and responsible diet.

Accustica
Accustica, a nonprofit organization under the French Law of 1901, is a science center dedicated to sharing science, technology, and innovation with all audiences, particularly young people. The team is made up of dynamic and dedicated professionals with backgrounds in science communication, the sciences, culture, and project management. Their area of operation is the Grand Est region, and more specifically the Champagne region.
Accustica was founded in 2005 through the joint efforts of local governments and stakeholders in research, education, and technological innovation. Based in Reims, they work in partnership with local stakeholders to develop and promote scientific, technical, and industrial culture (CSTI) in the Grand Est region, and more specifically in the Champagne region. Their goal is to bring a culture of science and innovation directly to the public so that everyone, everywhere, can benefit from it.

Villa Douce
Built between 1929 and 1934 for notary André Douce, Villa Douce is an Art Deco mansion designed by Pol Gosset. Its brick façade and interior inspired by the ocean liner style make it a unique landmark in Reims’ cultural heritage.
Listed for its remarkable music salon, it now houses the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne and opens its doors to the public on special occasions, such as the Relais du Goût.

Our partners
The experience is offered as part of the Triangle Marnais Regional Food Project by the City of Reims, Greater Reims, and the Montagne de Reims Regional Nature Park, in partnership with Reims Tourisme & Congrès.
