The French government announced the Great National Cause 2024 around physical and sporting activity in France. 50% of French people claimed to practice less than 30 minutes of physical activity per day.

Only 12% of the population engaged in daily sporting activity. Emmanuel Macron himself published a video calling on the population to move more regularly. But the effects of the Great national cause are not immediately obvious, says Philippe Lecomte, of OpinionWay for the CIC. The Great National cause is struggling to make itself known, he says.
