The Parc des Princes puts on its skates for the holidays. From this Saturday, December 13, the legendary Paris Saint-Germain stadium is decked out in its Christmas clothes by hosting a 225 m2 synthetic ice rink, installed behind the goals of the Auteuil stand. Called “Winter in Paris”, this unique device transforms the Parisian enclosure into a real winter village until January 2.
Visitors will be able to put on their skates in an exceptional setting, on the edge of the lawn, with a view of the stadium stands. Access to the ice rink is included in the Stadium Tour ticket, the guided tour of the stadium offered by PSG, at the price of 35 euros for adults and 23 euros for children under 13. Skates are provided on site, with sizes ranging from 27 to 47, and scooters for young children from 3 years old. Wearing gloves is strongly recommended.
Hot chocolate, photocall and match broadcast
The entertainment doesn’t stop there. Several catering chalets are set up around the ice rink, offering winter specialties: raclette-style croques, hot chocolate and crepes. Something to warm up after a sliding session in this emblematic place of French football. A photocall also allows you to immortalize this unique moment.
Santa Claus will also make the trip. From December 22 to 24, it will distribute PSG x Christmas collector badges specially created for the occasion, accompanied by chocolates. The Germain mascot, dressed in holiday colors, will be present on December 22, 23, 24, 27, 28 and 29 for family photos.
On the sports side, two events are scheduled: the broadcast of the Intercontinental Cup final on December 17 and the broadcast of the Coupe de France round of 32 match on December 20.
This initiative is part of PSG’s strategy to diversify the use of its stadium outside of matches. The Stadium Tour already allows supporters to discover behind the scenes of the club: locker rooms, players’ tunnel, edge of the pitch or press room.
