Évasion Verte: the treetop adventure course at Parc Floral de Paris, for ages 3 and up

Évasion Verte at the Parc Floral de Paris now welcomes children aged 3 to 5 on the Les Coccinelles course. Nine low-to-the-ground activities complement the four courses open to children aged 6 and up for the 2026 season.

In the heart of the Parc Floral de Paris, nestled in the Bois de Vincennes (12th arrondissement), Evasion Verte is a spot to know if you’re looking for a sporty outdoor activity without leaving the capital. Paris’s only tree-top adventure park, it offers four high-ropes courses suitable for ages 6 and up, as well as a new course for 3–5-year-olds for the 2026 season. A great idea for a day out during the February school holidays or on sunny days through to the Toussaint school holidays.

Climbing trees right in the heart of Paris isn’t something everyone gets to try. That’s part of what makes Evasion Verte so special: offering a true escape into nature and adrenaline just a few minutes from Bercy Gate, without the hassle of long motorway drives. The lush setting of the Floral Park—opened in 1969 and nestled within the 995 hectares of Vincennes Woods—completes the experience. And if you’re on the lookout for other tree adventure courses in Île-de-France, we’ve handpicked some of the best spots to diversify your outdoor thrills.

On arrival, each participant is fitted with a harness and given a safety briefing by an operator certified by the Professional Qualification Certificate for High Ropes Course Operators. That’s reassuring, especially when you’re visiting with children who have never tried a safety line before. All the courses are equipped with a continuous safety line: there’s no need to unclip and reclip at every obstacle, allowing everyone, including children, to keep moving continuously. Closed-toe shoes and tied-back hair are required for climbing.

Since October 2026, the Les Coccinelles course has welcomed children aged 3 to 5. Its nine obstacles, including rope bridges and a suspended beam, are never more than one metre off the ground. An adult must follow the child from the ground. The session lasts one hour and costs €10.

The other four courses, open to children aged six and up, are named after forest wildlife:

The Little Raccoons (from 6 years old): 11 adventure courses up to 2 meters high, featuring barrels, monkey bridges, and suspended beams. Adults must supervise children under 16 either on the ground or on the course itself.
The Deer (from 6 years old, teens, and adults): 13 courses reaching up to 4.5 meters, including funambule walks, V-shaped ropes, and rolling lianas. Supervision is mandatory for participants under 16.
The Bats (from 6 years old and at least 1.30 meters tall): 14 courses up to 7 meters high, featuring net pockets and Himalayan bridges. Assistance is required for children under 10.
The Squirrels (from 6 years old and at least 1.30 meters tall): 14 courses extending up to 12 meters, with giant swings, climbing nets, and large zip lines. Supervision is necessary for children under 10.

For the more adventurous, the Squirrels offer a stunning view of the Floral Park from the treetops—an experience worth the detour on its own. And for those looking to extend their adrenaline rush, Evasion Verte also offers Archery Tag, a fun twist on traditional archery. Whether playing alone in a game of toss-the-tins or competing with friends in a team battle reminiscent of dodgeball, participants use bows and arrows with safe, rubber-tipped tips. Kids love it, and it’s all carefully supervised.
