Sports and leisure activities Paris 13th 75013

Built in 1925, the facility is based on a hot spring discovered in 1866 and still in use today. After the creation of a shower bath in 1908, the swimming pool opened its doors in 1924. Today, it attracts a clientele of regulars who enjoy swimming in warm water at 28°C, as much as the 1930s style of the facility. The outdoor pool and solarium are a major attraction in the early summer months. The red brick facade and the imposing vaulted ceiling of the indoor pool are well worth a look. The Butte aux Cailles swimming pool is one of several in Paris listed as Historic Monuments, like the Amiraux in the ^18th arrondissement. Swimming lessons, gym-fitness, aquagym and aqua-jogging are all on offer. A few years ago, the Butte-aux-Cailles swimming pool underwent a major renovation: the pool was refurbished, the water was treated in an environmentally-friendly way, the air was better treated, the pool was given a new public area, the heritage was enhanced, the pool was brought up to technical standards, and safety and accessibility were improved. All of which will restore a lustre that many had never known before. After all, to come here is not just to swim and work out, but also to discover the capital's unique heritage. Be warned: crowds can be heavy, especially at weekends.

Want to practice a sport bath that comes straight from the United States? This is possible in the Bois de Vincennes with no fewer than three land dedicated to baseball and softball (Pershing, Mortemart and Mortemat). Make no mistake, softball is not reserved for sensitive women or chétifs children, it is simply a variant of baseball that uses a larger ball, playing on shorter terrain and less physically aggressive. Softball generally makes it easy to play. If the discovery of these sports seduce you, you will only have to join this club, which already has 250 licensees and teams operating at the regional level.

The gym is mainly reserved for sports clubs and associations, but is also open to the public. However, there's not much additional information available about the facilities or services offered on site. There are no toilets, wifi, baby-changing facilities, vending machines or defibrillators.

Located in the centre of the TEP TEP, access to the skate is subject to the sports centre schedules. With a surface area of 200 m 2, it contains 2 modules. A big 3,3 metre ramp with 30 cm of green and a mini-ramp.

Its name resonates softly in the ears of sports enthusiasts, and the George Carpentier Hall, which was inaugurated in 1960 and renovated in 1988, is the heart of a vast sports complex, the largest in the south-east of the capital, located between the marshals and the ring road. The place includes an athletics track with free access (except of course during competitions), a classic football field and two 7-a-side football fields, as well as a rugby field, a rare commodity still rare in Paris today. A nice set of equipment, very crowded but not suffering from the crowd, because, once again, the place is really very large and allows a quiet practice.

If the walk has always existed, it is not the same for hiking. This term began with the creation of a large national network of marked trails from 1946. Until then, walkers and hikers had to have a compass and cards so that they wouldn't lose. It was Jean Loiseau, passionate about nature, who had the idea of creating "the big walker's roads". In 1947, the National Trails Committee (CNSGR) was established and the first section of the GR® 3 from Orleans to Beaugency was opened for 28 km. The story was on the way. However, we will have to wait until 1978 for hikers to be represented with the creation of the French Hiking Federation. It defines the standards of this sport and maintains a network of 180 000 km of marked trails. It is represented by 116 regional and departmental committees and brings together 3 450 local associations or clubs.

It was around 1880, during an evening drunk among British notables, that table tennis was born with a champagne cap as ball and cigar boxes as snowshoes. This sport took a more official turn with 1885-year-old equipment and was patented by James Devonshire. Since 1927, FFTT has established its practice by grouping sports associations. She also organizes national competitions and represents French table tennis abroad. The federation registers more than 190 000 licensees and relies on a network of 27 regional leagues and 96 departmental committees comprising 3 580 clubs.

The French Basketball Federation aims to organise and develop basketball in France since 1932. It represents some 525 689 licensees and 4 745 clubs in 32 Regional Leagues (including eight Overseas) and 95 Departmental Committees. It trains federal leaders, leaders, trainers and coaches and issues federal titles. Since 1988, the French Basketball Federation manages the practice of all its national championships except Pro A, Pro B and their Hope championships that are under the responsibility of the LNB (National Basketball League).

The French Athletics Federation (FFA) has more than 250 000 licensees and 2 200 clubs across the region. Its mission is to promote and develop the practice of athletics in all its forms: in stage (races, jumps, casts, combined events and athletic walk) or off-stage (cross-country, race and athletic walk, Nordic walking, walking in kind, including trails and mountain racing). In addition, the FFA forms federal leaders, animators, trainers and coaches and issues federal titles.

Founded in 1977 by a handful of passionate passionnés, the CSA Dunois brings together a clientele of students eager for competitions between courses and partiels. The atmosphere, in turn, is a pretty good child, which doesn't prevent the supervision. 5 coaches head the collective sessions where the 110 licensees cross, category by category. The tansmission is betting and the elders are reluctant to give advice to beginners. Monday and Friday are reserved for young people and on Tuesday, girls enrolled in the FFVB regional championship as well as boys playing in the départemental. On Wednesdays, on the other hand, we are dedicated to all those who practise volleyball, that is, 50% of the workforce. Finally note, to be complete, that young people participate in the cuts of France and Ile-de-France. In short, whether for competition or for pleasure, CSA Dunois should meet all your requirements.

The squash section of the famous Paris University Club was born in 1982 thanks to the passion of Gérard Bizari. It is now chaired by Jean-Pierre Paclet, well known to all football fans since he was the doctor of the France football team during the last World Cup. 4 short rooms, rooms, showers, club house with bar, everything that makes a good club, is here. With some own initiatives that, in the end, make the difference. On Friday evening, the collective course is free, Wednesday is reserved for the squash school, which brings together mini champions from 6 to 14 years old. The partner search service is simple, and you just have to let your name and level and the club take care of the rest. Competition is an essential place. The club has six men and women teams in D 1 (men are returning this year in D 1), and participates in all the competitions of the League of Paris, until the French Championship. This does not mean there is no room for leisure squash. Here everything is done professionally so that licensees can find their place and thrive in their favourite sport.

Since 1986, the date of its foundation, the Nakaima Association offers, in the heart of the Chinese quarter of Paris, a traditional teaching of Qi Gong from the techniques of the founders. To disconnect from the stress of Parisian life and end up, thanks to work on the meditative introspection proposed by the club. For this purpose, members are on Saturday and Sunday under the leadership of Jérôme Guillerand, the teacher of the site. Courses lasting 1 hour at 1 hour 15 alternate stretching techniques to move towards the opening of acupuncture meridians. The stated purpose: stimulate vitality and regulate body energy. In addition to lessons, internships, open to all, children, adults and elderly, are organized all year round. Different themes are worked out and a specific work of internal martial art to external martial art (aikido in this case) is carried out. What you do and rediscover the inner calm.

The framework lends itself to… Founded in 1986, the club is located in the heart of the Chinese quarter of the 13 ^th arrondissement of Paris. Affiliated with the FFAAA, he proposes to thirty members a classical teaching of aikido based on the precepts of the federation with an omnipresent philosophy. So the unity and mind unit remains at the heart of the process and it's no surprise that the club also offers an opening to the Tai Chi Chuan and Qi Gong based on flexibility and relaxation. Two teachers set up courses in the Caillaux Street dojo. They last from one to two hours and review, depending on the levels, all techniques of aikido. Please note that children are accepted from age 8 (Sunday at 11 pm). Finally, themes are organized all year round. In the program, meditation, technique technique and stick. How to deepen your search and achieve this difficult fusion between body and mind…

The heart of the Chinese quarter in the 13 ^th arrondissement contains many martial arts clubs, whether internal or external. This shows the presence of the Nakaima association, which offers several disciplines from aikido to Qi Gong through Tai chi chuan. For several years, the latter has been involved in the Caillaux Street Dojo. The courses, orchestrated by Jérôme Guillerand, are based on a traditional method, the Yang style (most common in Europe), resulting from the greatest masters behind the school. They are based on balance and deep relaxation and remain suitable for all ages. They last an average of one hour. In the programme: a great work on breathing and movement to allow the body to achieve real body memory, all on the basis of intense meditation. The idea is to take away from the concerns of the material world to rediscover the fundamental life of life. If you want to go further, courses are organised all year round in Paris, Auxerre, but also in Drôme. Courses that bring together several clubs and professors from all walks of life.
