Sports and leisure activities Rouen

The city's star sport, ice hockey, is played by professionals with the Dragons and their numerous French championship titles, as well as by amateurs with the CHAR (Rouen Amateur Hockey Club) for young and old alike. Same rink, same ice, like the pros! Very famous, this club collects every year French championship titles in several categories and participates in many international exchanges. From 4 years old.

The concept allows you to rent a sewing machine on the spot, by the hour or on a flat-rate basis. A bar-café, a haberdasher's shop, a workshop for adults and another for children all come together in an establishment designed for all those who wish to practise knitting or crochet in a warm, shared environment. Members share their techniques and patterns over a drink. Classes are also available for children. Materials are provided for beginners, who will find pretty fabrics for sale. A great way to make your own wardrobe.

Pierre-Jean, the young owner of this games bar, welcomes enthusiasts, novices, families... anyone who wants to have a good time playing a game. All smiles and jokes, he'll help you find the game (card, board or strategy) that suits your fancy, before introducing you to it. During the game, you can enjoy croque-monsieur, pasta or aperitif platters, and even vegan dishes! Otherwise, opt for a beer, cocktail or rhum arrangé. Fans will be delighted to take part in tournaments and themed evenings.

Welcome to the Kindarena, Métropole Rouen Normandie's sports complex! This building, designed by urban architect Dominique Perrault, who is responsible for the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris and the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille, is located in the western suburbs of Rouen. With a capacity of 6,000, it hosts all major national and international sporting events, including the Harlem Globetrotters, the French Gymnastics Championship, the Davis Cup and the Perche Elite Tour. Several local clubs are affiliated with the club.

The Huskies, with their seventeen French championship titles and two European Cups, are the best ambassadors for their sport. Concentration, technique, speed, power, flexibility: batting is a demanding sport, but there's a place for everyone. The club welcomes beginners of all ages, boys and girls alike, in its three sections: baseball, softball and cricket. The infrastructure and coaching are among the best in France. While the club's track record is rich, its original family spirit remains unchanged.

Soccer fans, this place is for you! Installed since 2016 on the quai d'Elbeuf next to Arkose, Le Five is a huge hangar dedicated to the round ball. It includes 7 playing fields where you will compete, in teams of five, in a ball game, but also padel, this kind of full racket whose practice is very playful. Five also offers birthday parties for children, a Zidane soccer academy, vacation courses, group and individual lessons for adults, and tournaments...

While these are remote times, this event will take place on site, at the Kindarena, for a day dedicated to the world of coding. This is the big moment when trends are scrutinized, and development takes center stage: security, analysis of what's new, Web, UX, clouds, data, AI, mobile. This event is part of a wider project that doesn't leave the youngest out: workshops for the little ones are organized all year round around code and its uses (site creation, games, initiation...).

So unknown three years ago, the signs selling electric bikes multiply in Rouen. Last born, this boutique offers a wide range of electric assistance bikes to less than € 1 000, foldable or not. A way of transport for the future because it allows you to cross the coasts without any problems and to travel a large number of kilometers without deflation. The lithium polymer battery is recharged simply on a power outlet! Forgotten the price of gasoline, insurance and parking costs related to the use of the car. The purchase price is very quickly compensated by fuel savings. This really makes us think…

The Club Alpin Français Rouennais is a sports club based in Rouen. It offers a wide range of activities, including indoor and outdoor climbing, hiking, Nordic walking and mountain biking.

Little known to the general public, the observatory in Rouen is nevertheless a true monument which has had all its importance in French astronomy during the last century! Founded in 1884 by Ludovic Gully, professor of mathematics in Rouen, the observatory was used to photograph the passage of Halley's comet in 1910 or the solar eclipse of 1912. Today the place receives the public free of charge on the ^1st Saturday of each month and opens according to important events (eclipses, Nuits des étoiles). A must for young and old alike.

Did you know there was an American soccer team in Rouen? The club, founded in 1996, has no fewer than 350 members, all fans of this demanding sport. Spectacular, ultra-physical and technical, American soccer requires sustained training, the repetition of meticulous tactical combinations, flawless coordination and collective commitment from start to finish. A flag soccer section, a non-contact variant but with just as much physical effort and feints, is open to both boys and girls.

Far from the sultry clichés, pole has gradually established itself as a sporting and artistic activity.

Our team of professionals is waiting to show you around.

Whether for competition or leisure, this benchmark club offers a variety of crossings all year round throughout Normandy: Val-de-Reuil, Beaumont, Montfort-sur-Risle or Pont-Authou... You'll also learn the art of in-line racing and slalom racing on white or calm water, if you feel like it. At the beginning of the school year, a discovery session will enable you to experience the joys of sliding and appreciate its benefits. As a family, with friends or for special occasions, it's a great idea!

A destination of the Rouennais, a school where one can also take a wind, be returned to the cords or feel all electric… As you will understand, here all instruments learn, play, invite themselves solo, as in collective practice in orchestra. With a teacher, features from jazz, rock, classical, for whom the notes do not appear in a newsletter, but in a range. Hotlines are open to the public from a. m. to p. m., Monday to Friday, to guide and advise future students. 

The conservatory is a must for anyone wishing to pursue a career in music, dance or theatre. The school welcomes nearly 1,300 students a year, divided between traditional evening classes and the timetabled curriculum created at the Collège Fontenelle and the Lycée Jeanne-d'Arc. The public can attend student auditions and, at the end of each year, the end-of-study show, as well as concerts organised throughout the year. Be careful, the selection at the entrance is difficult. But the result is there!

Have you ever dared to imagine yourself making your own macaroons, pastries, sushi, tajines, Lebanese dishes, etc? The trainers of Do it yourself will take you to the discovery of flavours as you will learn pastry and confectionery (strawberries, ice creams, sweets...) and exotic cuisine (Japan, West Indies, Africa...), or even how to make your own bread. Gourmets will try their hand at creating a pièce montée, decorating with chocolate and making their own croissants. A gift idea to offer or to offer yourself.

The Instinct dance and relaxation space has been transformed into... Lnela, a concept that has adapted to the times we live in, oscillating between video and home. Hélène Meyer is a woman who dedicates her life, body and soul, to all dances, which she sees, whatever their form, as a return to their roots and their instinct. She offers a range of activities for adults as well as for children. On the program, there is dancing, of course, but also moments of relaxation to find oneself, but well accompanied.

This recently opened establishment may not stand out at first glance, but it's already a mecca for the gaming world.

The catering area features large tables for 60 or so guests, who can choose from the 700 freely accessible games listed online. A convivial rendezvous.
