Putting on ice skates during the holidays remains one of the essential Christmas activities, especially with children. Ice rinks in and around Paris, outdoors, have become a little rarer in recent years! This year, amateurs or experienced will be able to have fun at the Tuileries ice rink, at the Vincennes ice rink (94) a stone’s throw from the Bois de Vincennes, in Saint-Mandé (94) during the Christmas market or in Saint-Denis on the square in front of the basilica (93). Not to mention, the ice rink of the AccorHotels Arena in Bercy (12th) or the Pailleron ice rink indoors and all year round. An idea for a nice outing at Christmas time with the family.
