La Mer de Sable
Head our North East of the city and you’ll discover La Mer de Sable. A vast wild west/ desert inspired theme park. For Halloween they’ve really gone all out, with spooky decorations with 2,000 pumpkins and hundreds of chrysanthemums in a nod to Day of the Dead. But this may be a bit much for some young kids – check out the photos on La Mer de Sable Facebook before you book to decide if your kid is gonna be squealing with joy or fear…
Note, it’s a good day trip / weekend job as this park is at least an hour’s drive or just under 2 hours on the train (from central Paris).
