This theme park dedicated to the comic book Gaul hero Astérix, is not as polished as Disneyland® Paris Resort but it is very entertaining and generally has less queues! The rides are particularly thrilling and the park is home to one of the most impressive roller coasters in Europe, the Tonnerre de Zeus which turns you upside down seven times! There are rides here for everybody, young and old. Parc Astérix is a great day out.

Pierrefonds is often described as a place which takes you back in time. The amazing château is breathtaking and is surrounded by greenery and a peaceful lake. After looking around the magnificent château and its Monduit collection, take a boat out on the lake or just sit on the banks with a picnic. Mini-golf and horse riding are also available in the shadow of the château.

This theme park, created in 1955, is the oldest in France. It is, however, constantly improving its rides, its shows and its range of animals. Take a ride down the Canadian River Run, go to Torture Island if you dare and search for gold in the Sunken Gold Mine. The new ride for last year was The Raft, likened to being sucked down a plughole! The park also has a small zoo with over 200 animals and also a circus! The secret to this park's success is its unique mix of traditional and modern attractions, a great day out!

This zoo has been recommended by previous customers. A large part of Cerza's 50 hectares of natural countryside is devoted to the animals of the African plains. Here, the White Rhino, Giraffe, Oryx, Lion and Hyena live side by side! There are observation posts where you can closely watch the animals in their natural habitat without being in any danger. Don't miss Monkey Island where you will be able to see monkeys moving around amongst the rocks, waterfalls and thick vegetation. There is a free safari train too, which is guaranteed to keep all of the family occupied.

Europe's most romantic city needs little introduction. There is so much to see and do in Paris, not only are there many incredible sights to see, there are tiny streets to explore, markets to peruse, shops to visit and wonderful restaurants to eat in. Don't miss the Eiffel Tower, L'Arc de Triomphe, Place de la Concorde, the Champs Elysées, the Louvre and the Centre Georges Pompidou. If you've never been to Paris before - it really is unmissable, if you have been to Paris before - you'll want to go back again and again.
