Want to get your skates on (sorry), but not going to be near Hotel de Ville or Montparnasse? Don't worry. If you're thinking of going to see the Hell exhibition we mentioned a few days ago at the Bibliothèque Nationale, you can get a bit of skating in at the same time; the city's third temporary ice-rink is just next door.

Although the other two rinks will be in place until 9th March 2008, this one is open from 22nd December 2007 - 20th January 2008 only, from 9am - 8pm. Entrance is free if you have your own skates, otherwise it's 3 euros for adults and 2 euros for children (note that children's skates are free at the first two rinks).

You'll find the rink at the corner of rue des Grands Moulins and rue Olivier Messiaen, Paris 13th arrondissement. Métro line 14 or RER C, station Bibliothèque François Mitterrand.
