To have fun on the ice! ⛸
Christmas markets also host family ice rinks in Vincennes (94), a stone’s throw from the Bois de Vincennes and in La Défense on the forecourt. Theice rink at the AccorHotels Arena in Bercy (12th) or the Pailleron ice rink indoors and all year round also remain an idea for a nice outing at Christmas time with the family.
Which ice rink will you be playing on?
Putting on ice skates during the holidays remains one of the must-do Christmas activities, especially with children. This year, amateurs or experienced alike will be able to have fun at the Tuileries ice rink, dance under the huge disco ball of the Grand Palais or on the rooftop of the Haussmann department stores!
