Best Ice-Skating Rinks in Paris for Christmas 2025

Patinoire du Grand Palais

Dates : December 14th 2025 - January 7th 2026

Skate under the magnificent glass dome of the Grand Palais, on a nearly 35 000 square foot ice rink built straight into the 19th century Beaux-Arts architecture. It’s open every day from 10am to 2am, but the real party starts after 8pm with a live DJ set and laser lights bouncing off of their enormous disco ball.

Ticket price

Morning ticket:

• Adult : 27 €
• Child : 15€

Afternoon ticket:

• Adult : 32 €
• Child : 18 €

Night ticket (from 8pm) :

• All ages : 39 €

While this rink is kid-friendly, children 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times, with the night sessions requiring adult supervision for skaters up to 16 years old. If your little one is 3 or under, they skate for free!

Printemps Haussmann : rooftop

November 8th 2025 - January 4th 2026

Printemps Haussman has set up a temporary mini-rink on their rooftop, making for a great spot for pictures with the Eiffel tower in the distance. It’s a plastic rink and a bit tight on space, so we wouldn’t recommend it as a spot to practice your triple axel haha!

Ticket Price

• Free
• Online reservation mandatory and available from 1-7pm

Galeries Lafayette : rooftop

December 1st 2025 - January 4th 2026

Another temporary rink atop a famous department store. This one is a bit bigger and offers an oh-so beautiful view of the Paris skyline. Accessibility aids as well as ‘training wheels’ for beginners are available on request, so this rink is open to anyone 4 years or older. The experience lasts 30 minutes of actual skating time—so make the moment count and snap some pretty pictures while you’re there!

Ticket Price

Adult: 16 euros

Child (14 and under) : 7,5 euros

La Villette : Christmas market

This ice rink stands in  In midst of the Christmas village built in a Swiss chalet style. So, if you want to skate in the Christmas mood, this one is made for you!

The market is one of the biggest in Paris this year, offering many attractions, food stands and artisans, which makes it perfect to spend a good time with your family or friends. If you want to know more about this Christmas market and others in Paris this year, check out our selection here.

Jardin des Tuileries : Christmas market

November 14th 2025 - January 4th 2025

Every year the Tuileries Garden, right next to the Louvre, turns into a Christmas Market and all out fun-fair. The market also includes a decently sized ice rink, which has proven quite popular with the kids! If you’re going to the Tuileries Christmas Market, it’s a nice activity to do but it definitely isn’t the main attraction.

Ticket Price

Adult : 10 euros

Child : 6 euros
