The Winter Olympics are coming soon, so it's time to train to win all the medals! Fortunately, the Essonne department has everything planned: during the Christmas season, towns in the 91 department have set up natural or artificial ice rinks that are accessible to everyone.
It's one of the pleasures of the holiday season: for a weekend or a few weeks, you can enjoy gliding across the ice at pop-upice rinks that adorn cities decorated for Christmas. So take this opportunity to have fun with friends and family and perfect your professional skating technique.
Don't waste a moment—put on your gloves and your best hats to protect yourself from the cold, and head to the nearest ice rink. To help you with your sporting activities, we have selected a few ice rinks for you to try in the 91 department during this festive season. Get your skates on!
