Ice rink

As usual, the Stade Nautique is converted into an ice rink for skating in the afternoons and karting in the evenings. Skaters can use it most days from midday, and during school holidays from 10:00 to 18:00. Karting on ice normally starts around 19:00 or 20:00 and lasts until midnight. The rink closes completely from 16:00 on 27th December and re-opens for skating on New Year's Eve and karting on New Year's Day.
