Patinoire de Beauvais, Ice rink in Beauvais, France.
The Beauvais ice rink is a sports facility with a 56 by 26 meter skating surface open to recreational skaters and athletes. The venue includes training areas and additional spaces for hosting various activities beyond regular skating.
The ice rink became known as Marcel Dassault and has supported generations of skating in Beauvais. Its operation has been connected to a single family since its founding, who have managed the facility over many decades.
The rink is home to the Beauvais Skating Club, whose members train in figure skating and ice hockey. The club's presence has kept competitive winter sport going in a city without mountains or natural ice, and local skaters use the 56 by 26 metre surface for lessons and team practice.
The rink sits in Beauvais, in the Oise department of northern France, and is reached by the town's bus network; parking is available on site. Sessions mix public skating with club training, so check the timetable before travelling. The skating surface and the building's other rooms are on separate levels, with the sports mezzanine overlooking the ice.
The rink is named after Marcel Dassault, the Beauvais-born aircraft industrialist; the same family has run the facility since it opened, and the building also holds a conference room and a sports mezzanine used for events off the ice.
