Sports and leisure activities Paris 18th 75018

A small club, founded in 1963, on a human scale but with no shortage of ideas or resources. Here, all technical levels are prepared, from levels 1 to 4 for amateur diving to Fédéral 1 for management. The courses, run by around ten instructors (from beginners to Fédéral 2), bring together around fifty members and take place at two sites, the Dauvin pool (^18th) and the Mathis pool (^19th). Nicolas Berthet, the club's current president, is also a teacher. Numerous sea outings are scheduled throughout the year to perfect your pool skills or simply discover extraordinary spots. The club also organizes day trips to a lake in Belgium. Several times during the season (except January and February), over a weekend, we offer the opportunity to discover the Mediterranean, an excellent training ground for all levels. Finally, around June, a major week-long outing takes members to an exceptional site (the Red Sea, the Caribbean, etc.) for leisure dives focused purely on pleasure. Other activities include biology courses (raising awareness of underwater flora and fauna). Last year also saw the introduction of single-fin and rebreather diving sessions. Last but not least, the first dive is offered free of charge!

Located at the foot of the Sacré-Coeur, the Montmartre squash club reveals a very British cosy atmosphere with its old model airplanes, its replicas of old sailboats, its library, its billiard table and its warm leather armchairs. This small club, founded in 1984, certainly plays the card of conviviality and has the advantage, in addition to its four glass courts, of having a weight room, two saunas, and a garden to relax after the effort. To perfect your technique, individual lessons are offered.

L'école du jeu is a drama school located in Paris, more precisely at 36 Rue de la Goutte d'Or in the 18th arrondissement. It offers a three-year professional training program in dramatic arts, divided into two levels. The first level, consisting of two years, enables students to acquire the technical fundamentals and seriousness required for the profession. The first year focuses on developing the actor's physical, technical and mental capacities, while the second year delves deeper into the concepts of stage dramaturgy and character construction. The second level, which lasts one year, is designed to reinforce the mastery of the notions covered in the first two years and to develop the actor's creativity. The acting school also offers preparation for national competitions for those who wish to take part. Candidates are selected on the basis of an audition, and the course is eligible for various forms of funding, including Pôle emploi, OPCO and CPF credit.

The dojo overlooks the garden, a source of calm in the heart of Paris. On the white walls, several frames proudly display the photos of aikido and judo masters. Welcome to the Aikido section of the Sports Center. There are 120 adherents every day of the week, all levels combined. Three teachers framed this whole world: Patrick Loury (2 nd dan), Sandra Douy, Laurent February, Laurent Pascal and Jean-François Shower (5 ^th dan), founder of the club in 1990. There are no fewer than 20 black belts among the licensees, which gives the club a special dimension and at the same time ensures effective transmission between ages and levels. Children's courses are provided by Régis Boulier. Affiliated with the FFAAA, the club follows meticulously the method developed by a great French master. With one particularity, the emphasis on the work of arms (the saber, the stick and the knife) and this from the beginner level. And as if that weren't enough, the club organizes theme courses all year round, a story to deepen the knowledge gained.

A large glass roof at the end of the square of the place Hébert, shaded by large chestnut trees: the swimming pool of the rue des Fillettes is a very pleasant place to do some laps and to bubble (yes, we are happy with the pun) at the edge of the water. Navigating between the small pool with paddling pool, the 25-meter pool and the solarium to catch some welcome rays, you will also have access to aquagym classes, swimming with flippers and the water garden. The well-maintained Hébert pool is like a little bubble in a very dense neighborhood.

Easy to find, since it is part of the vast sports complex of the same name, this nice pool has no less than two pools, both of which are bathed in natural light by a large glass roof, so that you almost feel like you are outside.

Finally, the swimming pool is the place of many animations and particularities, among which a water garden, aquagym sessions, a swimming school and various offers for learning aquatic things!

A multi-sport association (aquagym, fitness, handball, modern jazz, swimming, water polo, yoga) founded in 1996 by five friends with a passion for water polo, which owes its success to a good balance between sport and leisure.

Each new member is coached by an ambassador and can try out up to three sports sessions before making a firm commitment. Please note that the membership fee is degressive from January onwards, so someone who joins in May will only pay half price.

It's a sport (even if some people refuse to consider it as such) that doesn't lack charm, in such a setting. And for good reason: the amicale bouliste de Montmartre is a nice association, and which devotes itself to its passion on the heights of the hillock, mainly in the square Suzanne Buisson, but also on fields located near the rue de la bonne.
