Lons-le-Saunier. Associations Forum: more than 170 organizations gathered at the Parc des Bains

The Associations Forum has attracted a lot of followers. What better way, in fact, than with a multitude of stands to suggest and demonstrate what's possible at the end of summer? Plus, being in the open air gives the pleasant image of an active return to school. One where everyone wonders what they'll be able to envision.

Under a prevailing sun, the shade provided by the Parc des Bains made for a pleasant time. The walk was pleasant, attractive, and often timely, depending on the viewer. Crossing two paths, Martial took full advantage of his tour of the park. He lingered at the chess club , then at the walking club. "I saw a whole host of clubs that I didn't know about. It was very pleasant and ultimately quite informative," he says.

In fact, with some 170 associations represented, the 2025 edition once again looked great. Not to mention the lively entertainment offered here and there, such as dance, gymnastics , fencing , and martial arts in specially dedicated spaces. The highlight of the day was the Medusa troupe, which brings together nine musicians, who gave it their all with their cumbia rhythms, through the aisles.

Sports, social activities, leisure, health—the whole spectrum was gathered this Sunday, September 7th. A fairground atmosphere reigned in the park thanks to the commitment of numerous volunteers. Set up here and there, several food trucks provided quick and, above all, well-prepared meals, with flavors each as different as the next.
