Are you looking for places to barbecue with family and friends around Paris? There's no need to lug your barbecue kit around Paris parks and gardens- it's strictly forbidden, and you could end up with a hefty fine.
So, to enjoy grilled meats and vegetables with friends and family, you'll have to travel a few kilometers to take advantage of barbecue areas in the Paris region. In fact, some parks, forests and leisure centres offer secure areas to avoid any risk of fire!
It's your turn to have a chipolatas with your feet in the grass!

Base de Loisirs de Cergy-Pontoise
The Cergy-Pontoise leisure park offers a wide range of activities for the whole family.

A specially designed area in the heart of the park awaits friends and family.
In any case, please note that barbecues are not allowed on the ground, so you'll need to bring a free-standing barbecue.
