La Arche de La Défense skating rink (event ended)
This year again, on the occasion of the end of the year celebrations, an ephemeral christmas rink is installed at 110m high on the roof of the Arche de la Défense! From this 300m2 ice rink, the 360° view on all of Paris is absolutely magnificent: the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, the Arc de Triomphe... and the atmosphere is very family oriented and very nice.
- It is possible to lunch on the spot, but the quality is not always at the rendezvous. Think of take your picnic and have lunch in the park : it's much more fun.
