Audrey Hepburn said "Paris is always a good idea". Except that when you live there all year long, are a parent and see summer vacation coming up, it doesn't really seem like a good idea anymore.
If you are in the "move and go somewhere despite the pandemic" team, we advise you to visit our special article summer vacations 2021 - covid. However, if you are the "stay in Paris and do what you can" team, you are on the right article! Without further ado, here are the top family activities to do during the summer in Paris.
A boat trip on the Daumesnil lake
Here's an idea for an original outing! If you don't want to go on a family outing on a yacht, you can opt for the boat option in the Bois de Vincennes. You can even take a boat tour in the evening to admire the stars.

Go tree climbing during the summer vacations
Do you have an explorer's soul? And your kids too? Then you will love this activity idea! Climbing walls, Tarzan jumps, zip lines, suspended barrels...etc. There is something for everyone and for all ages. However, it is important to remember that children must be at least 3/4 years old. Also, some parks only accept children over 6 years old. So be sure to ask before you go.
Among the sites of accrobranches in Paris, we find theAccrocamp which has four adventure parks in the Paris region but the favorites are Lesigny (77), Moisson (78) and Saint-Germain-en-Laye (78).
Still in the list of favorites, we mention Branches and Leisure, Green Escape which is located in the floral park and Saint Assisi Adventure one of the oldest sites of accrobranches in Ile-de-france.
