Dijon's municipal rink, inaugurated on 5 January 1973

Dijon's city council adopted the final plan for an artificial ice rink in June 1970. It replaced a provisional ice surface installed in the hall of the agricultural fair, which had drawn 120,000 entries in its first six months. Work began in 1972 on boulevard Paul-Doumer, and mayor Robert Poujade inaugurated the Trimolet rink on 5 January 1973.

The ice measures 56 by 26 metres and the building holds 1,000 people, 840 of them seated. Locals call it the "hangar", and by the time it turned fifty in 2023 the local paper described it as an ageing but heavily used and popular rink whose tin roof sometimes drips because of humidity. The mayor's promised new ice palace was dropped, so Trimolet stays in service.

Three Dijon clubs share the ice: the Dijon Hockey Club, whose city team is known as the Ducs, the Académie des Sports de Glace Dijon Bourgogne for figure skating and ice dance, and Speedy on Ice for short-track speed skating. The rink has hosted French ice dance championships in 1980, 1987 and 1991 and the French short-track championships in April 2005.
