From the foot of the wall to the summit, there are 14 meters to climb. It’s one of the facilities at the Suzanne-Liébrard Sports Center, located at 17 Boulevard Carnot in Paris’s 12th arrondissement. After an inauguration during the neighborhood festival on September 26, the City announces its opening for Monday, October 19, 2026.
The 2,700-square-metre building distributes activities across three floors. A versatile hall houses gymnastics and dance, while another level is dedicated to boxing. Up higher, a dojo rounds out the complex for martial arts.
The climbing wall, for its part, has its own separate entrance. SEMAPA, which led the project, describes a covered facility protected from the elements and equipped with twelve routes. A setup that puts climbing on the map in the Porte de Vincennes district.
For climbing, the climbing, the Centre Paris Anim' Maurice Ravel offers on-site courses from age 8, as well as sessions for teenagers and adults, including a beginner slot. Rates depend on the family quotient. Registrations go through the link on the official activity page; availability should be checked with the organizer.
The center bears the name of Suzanne Liébrard, an athlete and co-founder of the Fémina Sport club, dedicated to enabling women to take up sport. A tribute that reflects the wide range of disciplines gathered at this address.
Architecture relies heavily on timber, complemented by rammed earth. Solar panels cover part of the roof. Around the building, boulevard Carnot is set to get a new look: its transformation into a pedestrian and cycle-friendly garden street, with fresh plantings, is slated for completion by the end of the year.
