Theme parks

Parc Astérix
For nearly 40 years, Astérix and "his merry band of loud and shaggy Gauls" have entertained French children through comic books. Parc Astérix brings the comic theme to life with rides and other amusements. (This site will open in a new browser window.)

Thoiry African Reserve
A castle, a safari park, gardens with a giant spider web, animal shows, and a gastronomy museum for grown-ups make this 16th Century château worthy of a day trip. Thoiry is 43 km (27 miles) west of Paris, and you'll need a car to fully explore the wildlife reserve.

NOTE: Also see my Paris Parks page, which includes links to Web sites that have information on Parisian parks, forests, and zoos.

Water park

ParisDigest.com describes an indoor aquatic park on the edge of Paris that has water slides, a wave pool, exotic plants, etc. The illustrated page lists opening hours and prices.
