In Paris and the Ile-de-France region , many sites offer visits to sports centers, or activities that will get your swimsuit wet. Let yourself be tempted by these unusual and exceptional events, and (re)discover the Paris region through the eyes of an (almost) accomplished athlete.
Sports past and present, French performances, sports walks, themed exhibitions, discovery of emblematic sports venues in France... There's a thousand and one ways to talk about sport, and a thousand and one activities to try out during this cultural weekend.
So get your sneakers on and stretch out: we're off on a two-day marathon to discover the sporting activities you can try out during the Journées du Patrimoine in Paris and the Île-de-France region.
