Palais des sports André-Brouat, Indoor sports arena in Compans-Caffarelli district, Toulouse, France.
The Palais des Sports André-Brouat is an indoor sports arena in the Compans-Caffarelli district with a modern interior layout. At its core lies a competition court with specialized lighting and synthetic flooring, alongside spaces for physiotherapy, weight training, and video analysis work.
The facility was originally built in 1983 but suffered major damage from the AZF explosion in 2001. It was fully rebuilt and reopened in 2006 with contemporary specifications and systems.
The venue serves as home to two major local teams: Fenix for handball and Spacers for volleyball. These clubs are woven into the city's sporting life and draw regular crowds of supporters.
The arena accommodates roughly 4.400 spectators and has clear layout for easy navigation. The high ceiling meets international standards for multiple sports, and facilities are well set up for athlete support.
The roof is covered with vegetation, giving this modern building a living green layer. This planted surface helps with temperature control and creates an interesting visual contrast to the more traditional architecture around it.
