"Bon Accueil"
After November 11, 1918, the American Red Cross abandoned large stocks of effects, whose sale, at low prices, made possible to create a center called "Bon Accueil", devoted to general hygiene, childcare, and physical and intellectual education. The former Capuchin convent underwent major works: thus was born the “Bon Accueil” center, which did not survive the American bombings of 1944, but provided for 25 years, both hygiene services, as well as sports, leisure and culture.
The name “Bon Accueil” still resonates, since it now brings together different leisure facilities.

With the remainder of the war damage's compensation, the city decided, at the end of the 1950s, to build a new "Bon Accueil" center with three buildings, whose project was approved in August 1961. The harsh winters from 1962 to 1964 caused hardship delay: carpentry 1964, interior fittings of the cinema, seats and surroundings 1965, electrification of the cabin, curtains and stage 1966, cinematographic equipment 1967, and finally, fitting out of the park in 1968.
Since, the cinema has been modernized, increasing its sound comfort and adapting to digital projection, without losing its charm of the yesteryear's cinemas.

1974: the municipality decides to create a campsite accommodating 250 campers, near the existing stadium (extended in 1974/75, then completed with training grounds). Work began in 1975, and ended with the sanitary facilities in 1977.
Spacious campsite in a rural environment, it still combines its rural tranquility with the proximity of the town center.

1977: the creation of a pond for fishing is decided. The digging and development of the campsite pond and its surroundings, took 10 years, with the installation of a children's play area and a party shelter. We have been fishing in Blâmont since 1988 in the municipal pond.
The pond is open to any fisherman with a municipal fishing license: inhabitants, campers, visitors, the banks of the peaceful pond of Blâmont are waiting for you !

Opened in 2022, the fishing house offers half-day fishing enthusiasts in its trout ponds.
2002 : the walk around the pond is completed by a fitness trail of 2000 meters. Then in 2019, the playing area at the pond is completed by another for younger children, closer to the town center, near the cinema.
Finally, in 2022 the complex has been enriched in the leisure area with a multisport ground, fitness equipment and new games for children.

Blâmont has a rich historical past : residence of a fortified house since the 11th century, Blâmont becomes, with the heirs of the Counts of Salm, an independent county in the 12th century, where a medieval castle is developed. In 1503, this county is united with Lorraine, and serves as dower for the widows of the dukes, Christina of Denmark (1545 to 1590), who built a Renaissance palace, and Margherita Gonzaga (1624 to 1632). The city, ruined by invasion of Protestant reiters in 1587, is, with its castle, destroyed again in 1636 and 1638. Under French occupation until 1697, Blâmont is part of Lorraine again with the Dukes Léopold, François and Stanislas, until its return to France in 1766. District capital from 1790 to 1795, then cantonal capital, the city experiences great prosperity in the 19th century, with the development of trade and industry (tanneries, breweries, textiles, forges, etc.). In August 1914, Blâmont is invaded by the Germans, who stay there until 1918. After a new period of prosperity, the American bombings of October and November 1944 destroy a significant part of the city. Rebuilding, then deindustrialization, marks the post-war decades. Today served by the new national road 4, Blâmont still stands out as one of the most important town centers in the east of Lunevillois.
