    One might expect Parisians to be avid cycling fans, but roller-skating? Having been a true 80's skating-at-the-mall-every-Saturday girl, I like the idea of closing off miles of city streets to go wheeling. To me, it's simply fascinating to see so many people of different ages, varied ethnic groups and range of athletic prowess all come together to participate. There is a relaxing Sunday afternoon skate or a Friday night excursion for more advanced skaters. Don't worry, both groups have plenty of police protection and generally keep an ambulance or two nearby!

    Equipment: Roller skates, inline skates, protective gear

     I agree with you that the Musée Rodin is an absolute must-see and especially about les jardins and the sculptures it holds!
