Systema Salle d'armes is a self-defense club located in Paris, at 26 Rue Buffault in the 9th arrondissement. This Russian martial art, taught by Jérôme Kadian, stands out for its free approach and lack of strict rules. Classes prepare students to deal with all kinds of situations, relying on their intuition, their ability to improvise and a few fundamental principles rather than on learning predefined techniques. Classes are held at the Maison de la Culture Arménienne, 17 rue Bleue in the 9th arrondissement. To take part in the classes, we recommend that you wear a tracksuit, a T-shirt, sports shoes suitable for the gym and thin, light-colored soles.

Tsunagari means "link" in Japanese. The tone is set, indeed, this centre favours the link between body, heart and spirit through two Japanese traditional disciplines: the awa dance and the taïkos drums. Tsunagari organizes, from Tuesday to Saturday, awa dance classes for adults and children (it's also possible to come with family) and traditional drum classes (taïko). All this is closely related because the taïko is a drum carved in the trunk of a keyaki (Caucase elm) which by the strength, the resonance and the power of the sounds it produces makes the whole body and also the soul vibrate. Its practice extends far beyond the boundaries of musical learning since it develops vitality, well-being, suppleness… It should be said that Tsunagari Taïko Center advocates the ancestral principle of the anchor named hara, which tends to manage energy at the pelvis level. As for awa or awa-odori dance, it is danced to the rhythm of the taïkos. It is a dance that is more than 400 years practiced by all during the celebrations to the ancestors, it is joyful and simple, it is also called the dance of the crazy. This folk dance is emblematic of the great festival of Tokushima and allows to welcome the souls of the Day of the dead in July-August. Classes are taught by Ayuko Yonemura, who has practised the dance and the music since childhood, when it comes to Cola Bonnan, he has a strong experience of taïkos in France and in Japan, and longs for creating a better world for men and their environment. Tsunagari Taïko Center also offers, in addition to courses, conferences, discovery workshops for children and adults, indoor or outdoor concerts, as well as weekend training courses in Paris or in the provinces.

It was Jean-Baptiste Perrin, a renowned scientist who received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1926, who was behind the design of this Palace of Discovery in 1934. A palate that is very symbolic and known from France, especially thanks to the presence of its famous planetarium. The Discovery Palace aims at showing the public, necessarily neophyte, «the science in the process of doing», that is to say, to remove the science from its confidentiality to bring it to the whole. Initially planned for not continuing, and when he had to close in 1937, his success decided the government of the day to perpetuate and link it to the University of Paris 3. It was from the 1970 s that he gradually became the palace we know today, with his fun and interactive exhibitions that enjoy so much from 7 to 77 years. Since 2010, it has been regrouped with the Cité des sciences et de l 'industrie within Universcience.

The Discovery Palace is first and foremost a beautiful building! Set on 25,000 m ² in a part of the Grand Palais (this also explains this), the visitor feels right at his own ease, especially when he finds out the magnificent lobby and its "amount" to knowledge. The planetarium that interests us first, is undoubtedly the symbol of the palace and also its most famous division… The dome on which the celestial vault is projected and the images measure 15 m in diameter. The sessions lasted an average of 45 minutes. The fidelity of the sky is quite remarkable: some connoisseurs even bring their pair of binoculars to observe some celestial objects (galaxies or nebulae) lying here in the meanders of constellations. And when you get out of such a show, you can't go back to earth! It should also be noted that access to the planetarium qualifies for visits to exhibitions and other scientific discovery departments. To attend the sessions, it is generally imperative to book in advance (possible from the online ticket box), due of course to the constant influx of visitors (we are in the middle of a tourist area).

It is located in the Vill'Up shopping centre: the Ifly attraction allows practising indoor free fall baptisms thanks to a wind tunnel system in a long tube. There are about 80 Ifly locations around the world, including Orlando, Florida, so the attraction is safe and is very famous. The Ifly tube installed here is 14 meters high, making it the highest indoor free-fall tube in the world. Another asset: thanks to the technology of VR masks, you can now admire landscapes of Hawaii or California around you while falling and it gives the impression of making a real parachute jump over these landscapes! Strong feelings guaranteed.

Located in the very heart of Paris, this centre appears to be a must-see place. The whole of Paris crowds there to participate in dynamic and very professional courses. All ages meet in a good mood and sometimes (it must be admitted) in a hubbub. Many types of dance are offered: classic, African, eastern, via flamenco or hip-hop. The halls are of large space but, despite this, participants sometimes squeeze themselves together. It is better to make inquiries with teachers to know more quiet hours and avoid the crowd. Teachers come from a variety of backgrounds. If you watch TV reality shows, you should recognize some of them. For curious sports enthusiasts, you can also try the sports courses (martial arts for example), singing or theatre lessons. The prices are reasonable: on average €18 per session.

The solarium of this pool is quite limited, being confined to the area around the pools. But we particularly appreciate the vast sliding roof, which bathes the space in light, turning it into an open-air pool in fine weather. No greenery here, but don't worry! Surrounded by the towers of the ^15th arrondissement, against a backdrop of blue skies, the setting is original. The youthful, friendly atmosphere also attracts sports enthusiasts. The large pool is Olympic-sized: 50 metres long, by 15 metres. A second 15-meter pool is available for younger children.

Moored opposite the François Mitterrand library, the Josephine Baker swimming pool, installed on a barge, is the only floating pool on the Seine. Inaugurated in 2006, it features a 25-meter pool. When the roof is open, 300 people can be accommodated on almost 600 m² of teak decking. From the deckchairs, the view over the Parc de Bercy and the right bank of the Seine is breathtaking. It's best to go in the morning, as the pool is packed in the afternoon and you'll often have to wait a while.

Vincennes is the Mecca of trotting, a world reference. This 42-hectare racecourse has two tracks that can accommodate up to 35,000 people.

The racecourse hosts more than 150 trotting meetings each year, including the Prix de France, the Prix du Président de la République, the Grand National du Trot and the famous Prix de l'Amérique. Activities are planned for children.

Admire Paris and its monuments from an altitude of 150 metres aboard the world's largest tethered balloon: that's what the Ballon de Paris - Générali is all about!

Natural light and lush vegetation give this basin a tropical look. Located in the heart of the Halles, this pool offers an ideal training ground for those who wish to swim in the wake of the older ones. Be careful, however, the basin is shallow (1.80 m). On the other hand, it is one of the few basins in the capital with a length of 50 m. There is a lot of people, especially at lunchtime on weekdays. This swimming pool is one of the few in the city of Paris without slots reserved for schoolchildren. So you can enjoy it all day long.

Built on several floors in balconies in the 1930 s, the Blomet swimming pool is organised according to a common plan in Paris… and charming. If the rooms have been moved into a more convenient area, the cabins on the floors are reserved for visitors, with a superb view over the 50 x 12 m pool. This pool attracts the best swimmers. According to custom, swimmers are divided into the water lines according to their level, to prevent the aisles and the different swimmers from creating a traffic jam! It is possible to take swimming courses for beginners who will become, who knows, great champions. Many clubs get involved, attracted by the measurements of this basin, rare in Paris. However, this swimming pool is the victim of its success and has a very sustained attendance whatever day and time!

The club, which has the reputation of being the most posh in France, has existed since 1882! Since September 2006, the mythical Racing Club de France, founded by students from Condorcet, has changed its name, but no place. With forty-eight outside ones, of which are in the beaten land, they come back to the heart of the Bois de Boulogne. Selection at entry is severe: you must be sponsored by two members of the club to hope to play, and, in addition to the contribution, pay a fee of 2 000 € for those under 6 200 and € for those over years of age. At this rate you can also enjoy the swimming pool, sauna, steam bath and gym. Myth has a price, don't forget to keep a budget to buy your balls.

The Racing Club de France has opened a small school with three short seats.

There's nothing trendier than taking your Latin dance class in the middle of a restaurant! Parisian women know that. More and more of them are going to Pachanga, this bar-restaurant-club in the 14th arrondissement. The festive atmosphere and the handsome boys are always there. The food, the setting, the music... Everything reminds me of South America. Every day, from Monday to Sunday, classes are given.

What is more reassuring when one enters a karate club than has a former world champion of discipline? This is the case in Ki Ken Taï Karate where Jacques De, the boss of the scene, took in 1986 in Sydney the individual gold medal, a semi-heavy category. Thus, the dojo's reputation is no longer to be done. Since 2009, members have been up to follow the teachings of the master, and few are disappointed. It's one of the most beautiful dojos in the capital, with a truly pleasant Nippon air. The master considers his art intrinsically linked to Japanese philosophy. Practitioners at any level can come from the yellow belt to the black belt. One of the best addresses of this kind.

If you're going to Paris for a limited period of time and if you're looking for a place to carry on with your favorite discipline, it's surely represented in this dojo.

This prestigious house, located in the heart of the no less famous Place Vendôme, offers you a course as qualitative as its own creations. Two teachers lead the course each day, which can be attended by 8 to 12 people. "Discovering stones", "From wax design to setting techniques", "From French jewellery to Japanese lacquer" are some of the examples of what is offered. These courses, which take place in the form of workshops, will allow you to combine knowledge and practice. You can book on the website, but be quick, because they are very popular!
