Franconville's rink, inaugurated on 14 September 1974 on former orchards

The project for a rink and a swimming pool in Franconville took shape in 1971, and the building permit for the sports centre was granted on 26 January 1973. It stood on 20 hectares that had been orchards and market gardens. Mayor André Blondé inaugurated the brand-new rink on 14 September 1974, after many months of building work that included lifting a beam with a 40-metre span and laying the ice slab with its regenerating circuit.

Two clubs are based on the ice: Franconville Sports de Glace for figure skating, ice dance and ballet on ice, and the Franconville Hockey Club, known as Les Requins, for hockey and para-hockey. The rink has welcomed several champions, among them Claude Nicouleau, a multiple sprint champion.

The ice is renewed every summer during the annual closure. In recent years the lighting was replaced with LEDs, which cut energy consumption by 70 per cent.
