With inflation and rising prices, we sometimes have to cut back on our leisure activities. Sport is certainly not the cheapest activity, especially in the Paris region, where the prices of gyms and children's boxing, dance and karate classes are constantly soaring. However, the capital is full of small events offering very affordable prices, and even free ones - you just have to find them!
Every month, new sporting experiences are added to the calendar, and you end up not knowing which one to choose! In the region, it's common to be able to try out new sports free of charge, before getting down to it for real, thanks to initiations and demonstrations organized by the departments.
Many festivals open their doors to the public, to showcase their activities and attract as many new enthusiasts as possible to their concepts! And there's nothing to stop us taking advantage of this opportunity to keep fit at a lower cost!
