Ok, it’s (very) cold and it would be really ilogical to go and lock yourself in a giant freezer on a Sunday afternoon. But there’s nothing chilly about ice rinks in winter – quite the opposite, in fact. In fact, it’s one of the warmest places in town, with its unique atmosphere. The first gliding sensations, the improvised figures, the huge laughter of the first slaps – in short, the unstoppable parade for a good time with family and friends. Definitely a must for these winter months.
The Charlemagne skating rink
Like our ancestor Charlemagne, come and tame your fears, but this time during a high-flying session on ice! Right in the heart of the Presqu’île, the ice rink welcomes Lyonnais of all ages every year. And in addition to the 4,200 people it can accommodate, the rink also organizes ice shows and international competitions for the less athletic among you who are just as fascinated by ice. Take part in a unique show where you can slide by yourself and show us what you can do! In any case, we recommend that you attend a field hockey match for a moment out of the ordinary!
