Gymnase De La Ricoquais

The Gymnase De La Ricoquais sits on Boulevard de la Ricoquais in Saint-Grégoire. It is not a cathedral of sport, but a functional hall that has seen things change. The main hall features a synthetic surface, though a separate room retains a parquet floor for gymnastics.

The venue’s capacity sits at 900. This figure is not static; it was 600 for the 2017-2018 season before an expansion brought it to its current level. The work done to widen the stands remains undocumented in public records. The building opened in 1998, according to one set of architectural records, while another source pushes the date to 2000. The discrepancy is noted but does not alter the fact that the structure has served the community for over two decades.

Since 2012, the hall has hosted Saint-Grégoire Rennes Métropole Handball, the women’s team playing in the D2F division. They arrived from Salle Rapatel in Rennes. The club itself traces its roots back to 2001. The space is not exclusively theirs; GR sur Ille uses it for rhythmic gymnastics, and FIB Saint-Grégoire plays badminton there. On occasion, the Gevell Racing Team has brought their Coupe de France matches to this quieter setting.

There are four changing rooms and a single stand, simple amenities for a modest facility. Bus line C2 stops at 'Ricoquais', connecting the site to the wider network.
