Looking for an original family outing this summer? With summer beaming down on Paris and the surrounding region with its heat spikes, you need not only to cool off, but also to have fun in this holiday climate. So what better way to feel like you're on vacation than to take young and old to a water park. Amid attractions, games and slides, you'll be able to combine relaxation and fun!
Yes, the Paris region can also be a seaside resort! Aquatic centers in Paris and the rest of the region are waiting to refresh you. Whether you want to try your hand at indoor surfing, challenge yourself on the inflatable courses, hurtle down the slides or simply combine swimming and sunbathing, here are the places you won't want to miss this summer!
This guide is updated as we make announcements and discoveries. However, to make sure that the parks are open when you want to go there, we recommend that you contact them directly about the activities you're interested in: some aquatic centers open their activities gradually, so not all are guaranteed depending on the time of year!
