Ice Skating in Paris Free Ice Skating in Paris from December 18th - March 6th Hotel de Ville and Montparnasse Click here for other family fun activities in Paris DescriptionStarting December 16th public ice skating rinks "patinoires" open up in at least two different locations in Paris. The ice skating is free if you have your own skates or you can rent skates for 5€.Ice Skating at Hotel de Ville The largest and most popular skating rink is in front of Paris' Hotel de Ville. If you're not planning to skate you can stand on the platforms set-up around the rink where you can enjoy watching some of Paris' hot shot skaters as they zip in and out between the wobbly crowds. Lively and friendly atmosphere despite the crowds. Children may enjoy a free ride on the double decker carousel while waiting to skate. Metro: Lined 1 or 11- Hotel de Ville Ice Skating at Montparnasse Smaller rink than Hotel de Ville but also not as crowded.  Last year the ice was synthetic
which actually made it a little harder to skate but this did not stop
everybody there from enjoying the atmosphere. I would suggest either this rink or the Acqua Blvd rink for smaller children. Adults and teenagers will have more fun at Hotel de Ville. While you're in this area you might also enjoy either a trip up Tour Montparnasse or a visit to the Montparnasse Christmas Market. Metro: Lines 4, 6, 12, 13 - Montparnasse Ice Skating at Aquaboulevard  Very
small private rink right next to the Aquaboulevard Water Park in the
15th arrondissement. The benefit of this rink being small and well hidden is that it's also not very busy. Metro: Line 8 - Balard Tram: T2 Aquaboulevard Price: .... |
