The City of Villejuif will appoint its future House of Martial Arts Lucie-Décossenamed after the judo champion, who lived for several years in the town of Val-de-Marne.
“Correct the male majority of denominations”
The mayor of the town, Pierre Garzon, explains this choice: “We are trying to correct the large male majority of denominations in the public space. It seemed important to us to honor Lucie Décosse, who grew up in Villejuif, with our House of Martial Arts, which will be inaugurated in a few months”.
As part of this feminization of public places, the City of Villejuif had already recently baptized its Anne-Sylvestre cultural hostel, its Wangari-Maathai ecological transition house and its Andrée-Chedid cultural hall.
The future House of Martial Arts will be installed in the Pasteur district, where Lucie Décosse lived. A beautiful tribute for the judoka, triple world champion, four times European champion and Olympic champion in London in 2012.
