Looking for an original family outing this summer? With summer beaming down on Paris and the surrounding region with its heat spikes, you not only need 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. Amidst attractions, games and slides, you'll be able to combine relaxation and fun!
And yes, the Paris region can also be transformed into a seaside resort! Aquatic centers in Paris and the rest of the region are waiting to refresh you. Whether you'd like 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.
