Patinoire des Courtilles, Olympic ice rink in Asnières-sur-Seine, France
The Patinoire des Courtilles is an ice rink housed in an indoor arena with a large skating surface. The facility includes spectator seating areas and rental counters for skates and other equipment.
The rink opened in 1971 as part of a larger sports complex that began development in the early 1960s. It was built to provide winter sports facilities for the local community and surrounding region.
The rink serves as a gathering place where skaters of all levels come to practice and enjoy the ice together. Local hockey teams and figure skaters regularly use the facility for their training sessions and friendly competitions.
The facility is open on different schedules depending on the day of the week, with weekday and weekend times varying. Plan your visit in advance and ask about equipment availability when you arrive.
The venue hosted the first professional fight of world champion boxer Jean-Marc Mormeck, showing that the location served purposes beyond ice sports. This demonstrates how the space has been adapted for different sporting events over time.
