The archery competition will be held either at Grainville or Les Quennevais playing fields. Both of these facilities are grass pitches, which are used for football and, in the case of Grainville, cricket.
Both meet FITA requirements in terms of distance and safety, with competition areas in excess of 100 metres. Grainville sits in a bowl and has the advantage of a pavilion with toilets and changing facilities. Les Quennevais, which hosted the Euro Nations Tournament in 2000, is part of a larger complex with multiple facilities for a variety of different sports.
