Slides, rides, and thrills... Christmas is coming to the frosty rides at the Jardin d'Acclimatation!

The Sapin Merveilleux (Wonderful Christmas Tree) displays its eight giant baubles that rise and spin towards the North Star, while La Danse des Montgolfières (The Dance of the Hot Air Balloons) whirles children around. Snow Adventure invites you to hurtle down snowy slopes on a sled and in virtual reality, and just opposite the Grande Vollière (Great Aviary), the Petit Train (Little Train) travels through a magical setting full of little surprises.

Santa Claus will be there as usual: on Wednesdays and Saturdays from November 21 to December 20, he will be wandering around the park with his pockets full of chocolates, ready for photo sessions and hugs that will immediately put you in the holiday spirit.
