Winter is the best season, and that's not even up for debate. Think about it: winter is when we can enjoy raclette, fondue, hot chocolate, and other comforting soups. Winter is when cities are lit up and decorated for the holidays, and winter is when we stroll from Christmas market to light display... And of course, it's in winter that we enjoy the many ice rinks set up in towns and cities during the holiday season.
Yes, it's a tradition we love and never miss. For Christmas, several towns open temporary or permanent ice rinks , much to the delight of sports enthusiasts and winter sports lovers. In the Yvelines, you can find various natural or artificial ice rinks during the winter.
These ice rinks are often part of the Christmas entertainment program, so you can enjoy many festive events that make your outing even more fun. Children and adults alike are welcome on the ice in the coming weeks. Don't waste a minute—head to your nearest ice rink!
