Much more than just a sport or a hobby, rollerblading has become a real social phenomenon. It’s a stroll on wheels, a means of transport, a way of life...

Less cumbersome than a bicycle, less technical than a skateboard, faster than running - rollerblading has all the answers! Paris has picked up the message very quickly and every day does more and more for its devotees. From the experienced skater to the wobbly beginner, there’s room for everyone to develop while exploring the roller attitude.
The capital offers two main events: Friday evening and Sunday afternoon circuits. They are open to all certainly, but it is nonetheless advisable to have a reasonable level of proficiency to participate.
If you are a beginner, choose the Sunday date, more family-oriented - it’ll suit you better. For the experts, head to the Friday evening tour, the nocturnal ballet of the asphalt skaters will be just the thing for you. So, in 2007, skates at the ready?
