A Venue Steeped in History
Tucked deep in the historic hills of Veckring, France, lies a battleground unlike any other— where military history and adrenaline-packed paintball collide in spectacular fashion. This spring, Paintball Veckring hosted the first of its two legendary Big Games for 2025, drawing 543 players from across Europe to compete in what has become one of the continent’ s most revered scenario paintball events.
With players arriving from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, Romania, Bulgaria and beyond, the battlefield buzzed with international energy. Countless cases of paint were shot across bunkers and through fortified multistory buildings, as seasoned squads and fresh recruits battled for points, pride, and the coveted Veckring trophy. The mission? Score big now— and again in September— to claim overall dominance.

A Venue Steeped in History

Paintball Veckring isn’ t your average field. Built on a former military base— part of the legendary Maginot Line— it offers players a once-in-a-lifetime chance to engage in full-scale missions across authentic wartime bunkers, winding corridors, and vast wooded zones. Since 1994, this iconic venue has hosted Big Games that blend tactical gameplay with a deep respect for history.
The terrain is brutal and breathtaking, forcing players to think fast and move smart. From dense forests perfect for ambushes to close-quarter combat in concrete labyrinths, every corner of Veckring pushes teams to the edge. www. paintball. media
