Paris: Activities

• boating

  On an airy summer's day get onto the cool of the water - float down the Seine (or the Marne, the Oise or any of the city's canals) in a canal boat. Rentals are available year-round.

• skating

  Paris has a thing for skating - hire some inlines and join the crowds in the city's parks. In winter the Patinoire du Parvis de la Défense and Patinoire de l'Hôtel de Ville bring ice skating into the public arena.

• bowling

  One of the best bowling alleys in Paris, Bowling de Paris, can be found in the Bois de Boulogne.

• gym

  Yes, the work-out craze has hit even tobacco-stained Parisians; there's now a gaggle of gyms in every neighbourhood.

• swimming

  Public swimming pools abound in Paris - for large-scale splashing check out the Aquaboulevard water park.
