No introduction Jean Pierre Papin, one of the greatest French players in the history of football. His papinades remain etched in our memories.

But he is not only a great champion! He created an association to help families with brain injured children and organizes the Neuf de coeur cycle-sport race.

Each year, nearly 1000 lovers of the Little Queen come to survey the passes from Cluses to arrive at carroz. All the benefits make it possible to advance research by supporting theAssociation Nine of Hearts.
