 | Paris Ice Skating Reviews | 1 - 9 of 9 |  |
Every winter (from middle of December to early March) there is a free outdoor ice skating rink constructed at the Hotel de Ville (City Hall) located in the 4th district.
This is such a beautiful setting to have an outdoor ice rink as not only is it closeby to the Seine but also one can skate while observing some beautiful buildings.
In case you are not a skater and just a spectator, well, that is alot of fun too. You can be part of the crowd anyway.
Skates are rented for around 5 euro or bring your own! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Hotel de VilleDirections: Metro: Hotel de Ville Cannot miss it!

Did you know that there is a skating rink on Eiffel tower, since 1969!
Skating on the first level of Eiffel tower is free! Euh, once you paid the fees for regular visit. . . .
For fees see the official Eiffel Tower website: http://www.tour-eiffel.fr/teiffel/uk/pratique/acces/page/tarifs.html?id=2_3 .
I was not there, as I usually avoid crowds, but this Sunday (2008,01,06), walking in the capital city of the world between the Modern Art Museum of Paris and the Trocadero, I unexpectedly stepped across a vintage cars rally and suddenly I thought of a down under VT-friend of mine, looking at some cars, and thought he might be around, as he is a specialist of Antarctica, and he may have taken advantage of the current exhibition at the Eiffel Tower about life in the antipodes: Arctic ( http://www.tour-eiffel.fr/teiffel/uk/actualites/page/news_list.html?f=1 ) and came from down under with his car and his winter sports equipment! I am sure he would have liked that!
Sorry, no ski or sledge, only skating. . . . but I may try that one night this winter. I think skating on the Eiffel Tower must be an interesting experience.
On the main picture is the 4CV laden with skis, sledges and other stuffs. . . Same car with the Eiffel tower in background on picture2; a few 4CV in front of Trocadero on picture 3, another one in front of Trocadero, on Picture 4, and. . . . the skating rink on the first level of Eiffel Tower on picture 5 (courtesy: http://www.linternaute.com/sortir/noel2005-paris/illuminations-animations/11.shtml ).

 Skaters at Montparnasse by kentishgirl
The sight is fantastic! I knew that they had something like this in New York but It was a suprise to see it in Paris as well!
You can hire the skates there, although a lot of people bought their own too...it cost approx 8euro to do it - what an experience! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

You can ice skate on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower in winter only on an open air rink. That's a lot of fun and during the winter months, the town hall sets up open air ice skating rinks in different key parts of the city (in front of the main town Hall or at La Villette parc). Theme: Other
