Are you looking for a family-friendly beach to spend the afternoon, a leisure park where you can try out canoeing or other water activities, or perhaps an outdoor public swimming pool? As summer returns with warm weather during these 2026 school holidays, our team has picked out its favorite spots within the Val-d'Oise department to help you stay refreshed from April through September.
Known for its natural beauty, the Val-d'Oise département includes some very large national parks, such as Vexin Français and the Montmorency forest... Located along the Seine towards Normandy, the area is ideal for walks and hikes: in fact, it was here that the Impressionist painters drew inspiration for their paintings from the wilderness in the 18th century!
So when it comes to swimming, you can choose between the beach at Isle-Adam, where you can find all kinds of canoes and paddleboards, walks along the Epte or the large leisure park at Cergy!
