Sports and leisure activities Plaine de Saint-Germain-en-Laye

Managed by the Office National des Forêts, this natural area close to the north of the Saint-Germain-en-Laye forest is the ideal place to organise picnics or enjoy a well-deserved break during a hike. You can also observe many species of birds by following a beautiful path. Many people go jogging around the park, which is 4.5 kilometres long. Others come here to simply enjoy the peace and quiet of the place, which is indeed particularly calm and peaceful.

This 25-metre swimming pool is equipped with a removable roof that is discovered in the summer. The solarium, green spaces and changing rooms have been closed since a fire in 2007. However, temporary rooms have been installed in préfabriqués.

Opened a few years ago, Carrières's Carrières-sous-Poissy are among the dozen indoor Football venues that have opened in the Hexagon and are constantly attracting fans of round ball. The principle is simple: two teams of five players compete on one of the five small terrains. The game is fast, pushing participants to try a little more acrobatics and put the ball in the net a little more often than on ordinary terrain. Cameras are installed on some terrain, allowing you to keep track of the most beautiful actions of the meeting. The park is often crowded (we advise to reserve in advance), a bar and a video game space make the waiting time more acceptable. Individual showers and showers. Frequently organized events and tournaments.

Although the 18-hole golf course on this estate of almost 80 hectares is almost a century old, it wasn't until 1962 that it became the Fourqueux Golf & Country Club. The undeniable charm of this undulating course, with its fairways punctuated by ponds and a variety of ancient trees, is undeniable. Novices and experienced players alike can enjoy a 27-hole course divided into three Blue, White and Red courses (three 9-hole courses of 3,120 m, 2,890 m and 2,740 m), a signature composite course combining the best of the three courses, a driving range with 10 indoor and 15 outdoor stations, and many other activities: heated swimming pool from May to September, top-class restaurant with terrace serving traditional seasonal cuisine, multimedia room with wifi, the Children's House with enclosed garden and outdoor games, tennis courts, bridge club available to Country Club members and organization of competitions (annual Grand Prix in September, interclubs, charity competitions, business competitions...).

The pretty Migneaux swimming pool is located on the island of the same name. Access is via a bridge spanning an arm of the Seine, which leads to 2 hectares of lawn, literally packed with people at the height of summer, and it's sometimes difficult to get a place in the Olympic-sized (50 m) outdoor pool. Two beach-volleyball courts, a paddling pool and a 25 m covered pool complete the infrastructure of this aquatic leisure facility, which is a great attraction in summer.
