Laser run, weightlifting, taekwondo: 7 Olympic sports to try for free this summer

Are you already missing the Paris 2024 Olympic Games? While we wait for the return match and the Paralympic Games, the city of Paris is offering you the chance to try out some of the Olympic (and non-Olympic) sports we watched with interest and sometimes discovered during the competition!

Free of charge and in many arrondissements of the capital, take advantage of swimming lessons to become the future Léon Marchand, laser run, like our pentathletes, badminton, weightlifting to measure your strength, taekwondo like Althéa Laurin who got into it by chance, basketball like Wembanyama or even pétanque, because we would have loved to see him at the Olympics!
