Le Village des Fous

Nets, treehouses and slides create a giant outdoor fantasy playground that can easily fill most of a day.

Scaled down ropes and play challenges give younger kids their own version of the bigger adventure parks.

Zip lines and treetop courses make this a good choice for older kids who want a real physical challenge.

Outdoor plazas, restaurants and play friendly spaces make this easier with kids than a fully enclosed mall.

Watching glassblowers shape molten glass is mesmerizing even for kids who would never choose a craft museum.

Huge colorful mosaics and bold shapes are easier for kids to engage with than delicate gallery art.
