Rollerblading has taken on a life of its own in Paris. Every week there are two rollerblading events: one on Friday evening and another on Sunday afternoon. Each are free and open to anyone, but be advised that you should have some skill before joining the fun…especially for the Friday night circuit.

Sunday is more family-oriented.

On Friday, you are one of over 4.000 experienced skaters who take a different 25 km circuit each week. The day before the tour, get details at www.pari-roller.com. Once every two months they even take on the Champs Elysees. Sunday’s tour is more leisurely, a 20 km. 3 hour tour of Paris. Get more information at www.rollers-coquillages.org.
