Entertainment & Activities
This indoor climbing centre is a great place for kids and grown-ups alike. There is a kitchen for lunch and dinner and a good drinks menu too. The only thing is that can be quite stuffy during the summer months.

It's just a short tram ride away, beautifully landscaped and great people walking. You can rent a little boat (not so cheap) or a bike. Great for kids, running, picnics, and the Paris Zoo (recommended) is there too.
