    I didn't visit sportaccommodations in Paris, but in many parks I saw kids playing with a ball. In the citycentre in the Forum des Halles between the glass constructions I saw these guys playing football. So they added a third function to this huge multifunctional complex besides shopping and culture.

    Football (Soccer): Parc de la Villette: outdoor sport in the weekend

    The Parc de la Villette is designed with the ambition to be a meeting place for everybody with a combination of all kind of artistic, cultural and popular activities. Culturally this includes the renewal of popular arts (like circus, cabaret and film), the recognition of new forms of expression (like hip-hop, dance and rap) and the awareness of other cultures (by showing architectural, sculptural, musical and theatrical works).

    But the Parc de la Villette offers also many possibilities for outdour sport activities. At sunday morning lots of people were playing soccer in the large green areas or doing their work-outs at the several apparatuses.

    The last time I was surprised to see the transformation of the Place de L'Hotel de Ville into a sandy beach with even palmtrees. I expected the sand at the Paris Plage not far from there, but not here.

    With the historical building as background it was nice to see that several teams were playing a beachvolleybal competition, but it looks like several players were playing for fun as well. Though it was tempting, being a volleyballplayer myself, I only stayed for a while as a spectator.
