The Grand Palais Ice Rink returns for the festive season, offering visitors the chance to skate beneath the spectacular glass roof of one of Paris’s most iconic landmarks. The monument’s enormous nave is transformed into a 2,700-square-metre indoor ice rink, complete with a spectacular winter setting and a monumental suspended moon. During the day, natural light fills the space, creating a unique skating experience, while evening sessions bring a more festive atmosphere with DJ sets, music and impressive lighting effects.
