The major Beaublanc renovation project launches in Limoges: heading towards 2027
In Limoges, the Beaublanc district is buzzing with activity. While the legendary Sports Palace still stands silent, excavators are busy around it. For several weeks now, construction work on the Beaublanc park extension has officially begun. This massive project, estimated at 70 million euros excluding tax, aims to modernize sports facilities and reduce operating costs.

Two new halls, a new face for Beaublanc
The first phase of this extensive project will last until 2027. It includes the construction of two new halls adjacent to the Sports Palace: a 3,500-seat multi-purpose hall intended primarily for the Limoges Handball training center, and a 310-seat double-court training facility that will serve Limoges CSP while remaining accessible to associations. These new facilities will also free up 60 weekly hours in other Limoges gymnasiums.
« We have completed a good portion of the earthwork, and we’re starting the foundations of the two new halls, with the installation of 300 piles, » explains Pierre Cornil, architectural director at Chaix & Morel associates, in Le Populaire du Centre.
A restructuring designed for everyone
Beyond the halls, the project also includes a boulevard-facing brewery, an expanded and connected municipal sports center, an amphitheater, and several conference rooms. « It’s a virtuous project that will serve everyone and provide a new city entrance, » emphasized Sylvie Rozette, deputy mayor in charge of sports.
A multimodal exchange hub, managed by Limoges Métropole, will complement the project. It will offer new parking spaces and improve access to the site via public transport.
An economical and ambitious Beaublanc 2.0
This major project, described as « economically essential for the future » by Mayor Émile Roger Lombertie, will drastically reduce the Sports Palace’s operating costs, currently estimated at 1.5 million euros annually. The project also includes sustainable features, such as rainwater and greywater recovery, allowing up to 40% water savings.
Within two years, the complete renovation of the current Sports Palace will complete this ambitious transformation. In total, 4,600 new seats will be available across the site. This will set CSP and all of Limoges sports on a new trajectory.
