Our take on this event
Trade the weekend screen time for a bit of action in the heart of the city. Whether you are aiming for a precision shot on the court or diving for a volley, it is the perfect spot to get active and meet fellow Parisians. Head to the center for a dose of adrenaline.
The Paris Sport Proximité initiative brings badminton and volleyball sessions to the Saint-Merri gymnasium in the 4th arrondissement. Designed for local residents, these regular sessions offer a great opportunity to stay active in a friendly, communal environment. Whether you are looking to improve your badminton serve or join a volleyball game, there is a slot available for various skill levels throughout the week. These sporting activities are completely free to attend, making it easy to integrate exercise into your routine. The program runs from September 21, 2026, through July 4, 2027.
Located at 16 rue du Renard, the Saint-Merri gymnasium hosts a variety of sports sessions catering to different ages and interests. On Thursdays, from 12:30 to 13:30, badminton is available specifically for participants aged 16 and older. Those looking for a team sport can join the open-to-all volleyball sessions held on Fridays from 12:00 to 13:30.
Weekend sports are focused on badminton, with two distinct sessions held every Saturday: the first from 10:00 to 11:30 and the second from 11:30 to 13:00. Both Saturday slots are open to the general public. As part of the City of Paris's commitment to accessible physical activity, all sessions are free of charge.
