Over the years, it has developed many sports and cultural activities such as tennis, football, martial arts, zumba… The courses and courses are carried out through the 12 ^th district by state-run professors such as Laurent Dufloux, the club leader and four initiators who stand for adult courses and tennis school. Courses take place from October to June (excluding school holidays).

The club also offers a competition and a mini tennis court.

Here is a place that lends itself perfectly to the art of the bowls! Who believed that this place built in the first century of our era lasted in time until, for us contemporary, a place of leisure as it was at the time? The ground will lend itself to the technical or clumsy gestures of players at any level. The framework will also allow you to spend a pleasant time between friends and rest after (and even before!) a good part. Open until 21 p. m. in the summer, the site is quite busy, so take the advance when arriving in the afternoon!

This royal square, where a statue of Louis XIII equestrian statue is celebrated, is a high tourist place because of its historical character. Perfectly geometric, it leaves little room for improvisation… However, a piece of bowls has found its place here! Although the terrain is not particularly favourable to the practice of this sport, it is nice to throw some balls in it. However, if you are here to spend a good time among friends, you can be sure that you can quickly transform yourself into a living postcard! In fact, you will be the perfect target for tourists looking for Paris folk images. If you are wearing a beret and eat a ham-ham, then wait for a fury on foreign social networks!

In the shade of the weeping willow, the bowls of the Bowls and tourists are welcome to share a moment of relaxation and conviviality between friends. This site, which once was a former ditch of the Bastille, was able to convert in an original way. Between historical memories and souvenirs of friends, the location will delight you with its simplicity and good child spirit. Piglets fans are not mistaken, and the terrain is often invaded as soon as the beautiful days arrive…

To play the bowls on Montmartre is a little relive this Paris dreamed that tourists come to search. I do not know what is more user-friendly, more childish… if you get to the ground. And yes, you're not the only one to have had this idea, and the only park bowling ground, located on the Girardon side, becomes a strategic and highly coveted place once the beautiful days have arrived. Arm your patience to get access or arrive very early in order to be sure you can enjoy it!

Located on the edge of the Orangerie and overlooking gardens and basins, the bowls are welcoming the Parisian people with a great deal of emphasis and singing. No need to be expert, here all participants wish to spend a pleasant time between friends. Bring your triplette (three identical balls) and forward! Once you have finished, rest and take up forces for the next part on the benches in the shadow of the beautiful trees.

In his youth, Louis XIV shared a good part of bowls with his Cardinal as guardian of the famous Jules Mazarin in these gardens? We will probably never know anything. But to remain concentrated, the bowls, although some say it requires strength and technique. It is on sand and gravel that you can play in the shadow of the majestic old trees of this park often forgotten by tourists (both better) and the Parisians themselves! Benches will allow you to rest between two parties. Beware of being too noisy, this garden for used hikers is often looking for calm to escape from the hustle and bustle of Paris…

On rue Guynemer, in the shade of century-old trees, you'll find two pétanque courts open to all. For those who love the game of boules, there's a great day ahead! Whether it's a cool morning or an evening aperitif, players of all ages can get together and enjoy a good game of pétanque. After a game, you can relax in the shade or take a stroll in the gardens of the Palais du Luxembourg.

The Institut d 'Astrophysics de Paris (IAP) is a research unit at Pierre and Marie Curie University and the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).

These are given by renowned physicists or astrophysicists, on various subjects such as distance from stars, the extreme universe, new detection satellites, relativity, exploration of the Solar System, large observatories, etc. Even if these conferences are intended to be vulgaristors, they address a motivated audience as a priority. These subjects are often treated with passion by these great specialists.

There are many tourists on the path of the nearby Pantheon to lift their eyes to the sky and to discover, rue Saint-Jacques, a strange tower of observation over a dome: This is the observatory of the Sorbonne, a building previously reserved for students who made their astronomy classes in the prestigious establishment. Today, the beautiful astronomical 153 mm diameter set under the dome, dating back to 1935, is managed by the Astronomical Society of France. Two evenings per week, depending on weather conditions, a small group of observers (5 to the maximum) can access this atypical place on the exclusive condition of reserved its place beforehand. Up there, apart from the fact that the bezel and its dome are beautiful, we discover another Paris from an exceptional and rare point of view. If we are lucky enough to have the moon or some planets on the night of his coming, their vision at the ocular, while Paris is crawling below the feet, is a magical experience to say the least. The return on the floor of cows is then an experiment… very land on earth.

This is a mysterious half-hidden establishment behind its grids, following the Luxembourg Gardens and the Great Explorers, at the end of the Observatory Avenue. The Paris Observatory is in fact a generic designation of the Paris observatories, of Meudon (these two institutions are closed to the public until 2020, due to rehabilitation work) and Nançay. The observatory in Paris as it is interested is one of the oldest in the world still active! He was founded in 1667 for the academic astronomers of Louis XIV, before he knew a story rich in discoveries and observations until the end of the twentieth century. Notable instruments present under dome are the splendid Arago Zago, whose construction was initiated by François Arago, director of the observatory from 1843 to 1853. It is a equatorial bezel with an objective of 38 cm diameter and 9 m of focal (the length of the tube being substantially identical). Put into service in 1854, it is the largest beet in the world. Today, it serves mainly the general public (as part of specific visits), and sometimes for students' practical work. To note the presence very close to the Garden of the Observatory (access by the 98 Arago Boulevard), which houses a hundred trees of various tree trees, flower beds, etc., from which we have an interesting view on the dome Arago although a little distant. Since 1992, the Meridian of Paris has been spotted on the ground, perfectly visible from the entrance grid of the garden.
