This week’s photo comes just in time for the opening of la patinoire (ice skating rink) that is set up annually in front of Paris’ Hôtel de Ville. Open from December 19 2014 – March 1 2015, la patinoire is free to skate, and offers skate rentals at 6€. There is a large rink that measures 1356 m2, along with a smaller one for beginners and kids. Open most nights until 10pm, it’s in a beautiful location just in front of Paris’ majestic city hall, which has been the site of the city’s municipality since 1357. For more information, take a look at the site.
