You can't miss it, Pompidou Center! Love some, hate others, he leaves no one indifferent! An ultra-contemporary ensemble decorated with cable and multicolored pipes, it houses in particular the National Museum of Modern Art - its collection is among the three largest in the world. With the Halles forum, to which you are heading, it is one of the most dynamic and attractive poles on the right bank. On the way, the City Hall, the Marais district, the square of the Tower of Saint James and the fountain of the Innocents are steps to be missed.

Duration: 1:30.

For one weekend, here is the opportunity to take part in a unique sporting event in the heart of Paris, putting women in the spotlight. During these 3 days of festivities, the Champ de Mars will be transformed into an ephemeral village, free and open to all, to offer a range of activities combining sport, pleasure and well-being: 100% free fitness classes, concerts, massages and much more! Finally, the traditional 7 kilometer race with its postcard course will welcome walkers, to close this weekend of celebration and meeting!

An unsuspected corner of greenery in the heart of the 12th arrondissement of Paris, the Promenade plantée is a great opportunity for a walk! Perched above the traffic and the hubbub of the city, it would almost give you the impression of being in the countryside! Its 4.5 kilometres were built on the rails of a former railway line, which stopped traffic in 1969. From the Opéra Bastille, it takes you to the Porte dorée and the Bois de Vincennes, via the jardin de Reuilly, the viaduc des Arts and the allée Vivaldi. All you have to do is choose your option: Sunday walk or daily jogging?

Every year in October, thousands of people wear the same pink T-shirt (the visual impression is very nice) to run several kilometers for cancer research. Here, the objective is obviously not to make a performance (although you can try, if you wish) but to run with friends or colleagues to raise funds to further accelerate research against this terrible disease. The appointment is every year in October on the racecourse of Vincennes!

Connecting République to the Stade de France over a distance of ten kilometers: this is the program of this Great Race of Greater Paris. A small part of your registration will go to beautiful works, and if the course is attractive, it presents many false flats in the first part, until Stalingrad. Then, you will go along the basin of La Villette and then follow the Saint-Denis canal, passing by the Cité des Sciences. The arrival at the Stade de France is always impressive.

For 8 years, the Paris International Tournament is a gathering of gay and lesbian athletes, but not exclusively, from France and elsewhere. Martial art, synchronized swimming, basketball, football, wrestling, diving or mountain biking, it has about twenty disciplines. Everyone can register for this event to participate in competitions. It takes place every year at the end of May (registrations must be validated before the end of April) in various areas of the capital. With a growing success, especially across borders, the TIP brought together no fewer than 1 500 athletes from 29 European countries in 2011.

On October 2, 2011, the birthday day of Mahatma Gandhi, and proclaimed by the UN International Day of Non-Violence, were some 2 000 beginner and confirmed yoggistes who gave an appointment on the Champ-de-Mars to participate in the first White Yoga Session. Improbable but true: forgetting the chaos of public transport, the rush of queues, and the stress of their everyday life, these Parisians, all white dressed, shared a moment in all zenitude. They attended a 1 hour 30 hour yoga course given by Elena Brower, the coach of stars (Gwyneth Paltrow, Eva Mendès), with which to spoil the Eiffel Tower in the background. Sportforus, the community sport site at the initiative of this gathering, announced its wish to renew the event. To register and participate in this completely free session, register on their website. The number of participants is limited.

Paris is world famous for being the city getaway, we particularly thought of them for the choice of this walk. Go therefore with the pont des Arts, in the 6th district of the capital, symbolic place of the Parisian romanticism. Then take over the management of the Institute, then walk along successively quai de Conti and quai des Grands-Augustins towards the island of the City. Cross the bridge Saint-Michel, then take immediately on the right, quai du Marché-Neuf, to the famous Notre-Dame cathedral. Then take rue de la Cité to quai de la Corse, then turn left towards the Clock tower. Make a crystal by the flower market Louis Lépine, open daily from 8:00 to 19:00, then take quai de l'Horloge to the public garden of green Marie-galante, your full stop.

Price: free.

Distance: 4.3 km away.

Problem: easy.

Everyone knows Montmartre for its basilica, which is one of the favourite monuments of tourists. But do you really know all the nooks and crannies in the neighborhood? Those that are much less well known and, in fact, more authentic. No ? So come on, we'll take you there... At the start of the Place des Abbesses, head first towards rue André-Antoine. Forget about the reputation of the place and concentrate on its maze of quiet alleys: aren't they worth the detour? Then go to the Place de la rue Ravignan, from where a pleasant view of the Parisian rooftops awaits you. The mansion on Junot Avenue will then be your third stopover; enjoy a little of its gardens before heading back to Lepic Street. Do you recognize this place? This is where Amélie Poulain's famous café is located! The walk is then almost finished... If you like, go and quench your thirst at the Marlusse and Lapin bar, or at La Fourmi : the places are friendly and fit perfectly into this discovery tour!

A real playground, the Bois de Vincennes has everything to celebrate the sportsmen confirmed as grass joggers, for all tastes and levels. In addition to its 3 km cycle cycle, its cavalier track and its outdoor football and rugby fields, the park has two health courses. According to your mood and shape that day, therefore choose for the short version (its 1400 meters and its 14 gear usually spoil the beginners), or for the long version, more intense with its 2400 meters and 18 gear. On track!

Tariff: free.

Distance: from 1,4 to 2,4 km.

Difficulty: variable.

Getting there: to join the Bois de Vincennes: line 1 station Bérault or Château de Vincennes; Bus No. 86, 46 or 325. The departure of the trails is at the Niveau Avenue level, 250 metres from the corner of Saint-Maurice Avenue, going to the Château de Vincennes. The route of the route is indicated in green on the general plan of Bois de Vincennes.

Welcome to the Bois de Boulogne, in the 16th arrondissement! Here, even the most allergic to physical training will find a shoe on their feet! Because in addition to its 14-kilometre long hiking trail, its bicycle path with the same mileage and its 28 kilometres of bridle paths, the Bois de Boulogne also includes a quality sports trail. Starting from the place known as the "crossroads of the Five Roads", its 2.5 kilometres are divided into 19 stages equipped with equipment, and form a motivating loop. And if you don't find this course, then you can run a few kilometers anyway to sweat a little in the woods!

Three kilometres, 1h30 walk, and the guarantee of an informative walk to discover the Les Halles district. You begin your journey in front of Saint-Eustache church, often considered one of the most beautiful in the capital. If you like, a visit is in order; Louis XIV celebrated his first communion there. You then head towards the Banque de France, then towards the Palais Royal. Built at the beginning of the 17th century under the impetus of Richelieu, it was later inhabited by the Sun King, who donated it to his brother in 1692. The building was then extended. Today and since 1875, it has housed the Council of State. Further on, the Palais de la Bourse and the Opera House will complete and complete your tour.

It is perhaps one of the most chic green spaces in Paris. Monceau Park, with its three centuries of existence, has undergone many upheavals since its creation in 1778. Today, only a few original elements remain, like its Renaissance arcade, its Corinthian colonnade, its rotunda and the Chartres pavilion. Stroll along its paths under the shade of the trees that line them, and slowly head for Place Saint-Augustin. Your journey is only 3 kilometers long, but you can of course shape it at your leisure, by extending it on one side or shortening it on the other. Excellent for young parents, this circuit is fully accessible to strollers.

Price: free of charge.

Distance: 3 km.

Duration: 1h30.

Difficulty: easy.

Good to know: Randoland fun and educational fact sheets are available for download for this walk; check out www.randoland.fr

Starting from the Arc de Triomphe, this itinerary invites you to discover part of the Chaillot district, the wide avenues and the rich mansions built in the 20th century under the leadership of Baron Hausmann. On your journey to the Trocadero, you will meet here and there several consulates and embassies that have taken possession of the place, but it is perhaps the museums that are the most numerous here. Housed in the Palais de Tokyo, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris can be an interesting option to combine the pleasures of urban walking with those of culture, unless you prefer the Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris, located in the Palais Galliera.

A new race for a good cause! 1 out of 3 people in the world do not have access to toilets and 1,000 children under the age of 5 die every day from diseases related to the lack of toilets. On the occasion of World Toilet Day (United Nations Day), the Urgent Run will take place in France in Paris.
It is a solidarity run to raise awareness about the urgency of the situation in the world and to raise funds for sanitation programs.

It is urgent to act, so let's run together in the same direction on Sunday, November 14th in the Bois de Boulogne.

Usually held in June, the Garmin Triathlon de Paris is the very last major sporting event in the capital before the Olympic Games. It begins with an aquatic event in the Bassin de la Villette. Then it's on to cycling, with a circuit of the capital starting and finishing at the Villette. Finally, the run along the Canal de l'Ourcq on a flat course. You can choose between Olympic or shorter distances.

The event is generally regarded as a dress rehearsal for the marathon, which takes place a month later. Many are those who attempt it. It forms a circuit, from the Pont de Sully to Bastille, making a vast loop through the Bois de Vincennes and returning along the Seine for around 3 kilometers, past some of Paris's most beautiful monuments. The only downside is the need to register well in advance, and the crowds of tens of thousands of participants!

The Tour de France Automobile created in 1899 is the ancestor of the current Tour Auto. The modern version, organized by Peter Auto, is called Tour Auto Optic 2000. The 250 to 300 vehicles leave from Paris (Grand Palais) each year, in the Competition or Regularity category, with also races on circuits and stage cities where the spectators can admire the mythical vehicles. The route changes every year. It is the oldest competition event still being held. Vehicles that participated between 1951 and 1973 can take the start.

Next September, for the 3rd date of this national rendez-vous sport, the Parisian animations will take place on the bassin de la Villette. At the initiative of this operation, the Ministry of Sports, the French National Olympic and Sports Committee and the Association des Maires de France set themselves the objective of promoting sports activities among the general public. In practical terms, it is an opportunity to engage in new practices: Nordic walking, archery, bowls,… but also to exchange with health and dietetics specialists.
