You want to play basketball in Paris... Yes, but you don't know where to go to score great baskets. Don't worry, don't put your ball away just yet: here's a selection of indoor halls available in and around Paris.
Because it's cold, because it's raining, because we don't necessarily want to play in front of an audience, or near cars and buses... There are many reasons why we don't want to play basketball on the open-air courts scattered around the capital. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't enjoy a game of basketball with friends: there are plenty of indoor venues in the capital to satisfy your basketball cravings.
Several halls dedicated to the orange ball open their doors to you in and around Paris. You don't need to be a member of a club: you can come alone or with friends to dribble and shoot. For a small fee, and if you book your session in advance, you can enjoy a good pitch sheltered from the elements.
