The Gymnase de la Fontaine Blanche in Chambray-lès-Tours sits at a crossroads between municipal sports provision and elite European competition. In 2019, the local authority began a major extension project to bring the hall up to the standard required for the Women's EHF European League. The original capacity of 700 was doubled to 1,300, though for official league fixtures the number is often capped lower.

What defines the space is the presence of the Chambray Touraine Handball team. It is a busy room as well. Alongside the court, there are dedicated areas for archery and table tennis.

The architecture is functional rather than ornamental.

The building stands as a testament to the idea that a local hall can host international sport.
