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.)

Disneyland Paris
Pick your language from the row of icons. (This site will open in a new browser window.) Also see the independent Disneyland Paris Guide.

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 our Paris Parks page, which includes links to Web sites that have information on Parisian parks, forests, and zoos.

Water park

Aquaboulevard
This indoor aquatic park on the edge of Paris has water slides, a wave pool, exotic plants, etc. It was open daily from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. the last time we checked, and the prices are high enough that you'll want to make the most of your visit. (Children must be at least 3 years old to visit the park.)
