The western suburbs near Paris, with the towns of Neuilly-sur-Seine, Levallois-Perret and Puteaux, offer many activities for families. Located on the outskirts of the capital, these towns offer an ideal setting for outings with toddlers, children and teenagers, combining nature, culture and entertainment.
Neuilly-sur-Seine is known for its peace and quiet, but above all, for housing the capital's only intramural amusement park (located in the 16th arrondissement and Neuilly): the Jardin d'Acclimatation. This historic amusement park, now renovated and modernized, offers rides, educational workshops and areas dedicated to nature, perfect for arousing the curiosity of the youngest visitors, while offering thrill-seeking activities for the older ones.
Levallois-Perret, with its many parks, including the Parc de la Planchette, is a city where you can stroll, enjoy the outdoor playgrounds or the fun exhibitions organized by the city throughout the year. For a trip to the heart of the Seine's aquatic biodiversity, don't miss a visit to the Maison de la Pêche et de la Nature, located in the Parc de la Jatte!
Puteaux seduces visitors with its bucolic island, and its unique range of leisure activities including tree-lined parks, swimming pools, sports fields... With the large La Défense district, it's also a particularly lively town, with numerous events scheduled throughout the year. Less sought-after than the capital, these towns in the suburbs close to Paris - and very accessible by public transport - are a real asset for a family outing with children. How about a trip to Neuilly, Levallois or Puteaux soon?
