CNES contributes a lot to local associations of which there are many in French Guiana.
This support also includes sports meets and cultural events: the Space marathon, the Ariane cross-country race and the Tour de Guyane cycle race are among the not-to-be missed events. The air meet at Javouhey, the trans-Amazonian events, the Kayenne Botanic Jazz festival and Danser la Ville are also examples of some of the projects financed by CNES.
