Parks And Gardens
Children are well catered for by the parks and gardens within the city. There's even a park designed especially for kids, the
Jardin d'Acclimatation , in the Bois de Boulogne, with an impressive array of activities and attractions. On the other side of the city in the Bois de Vincennes, the
Parc Floral also offers a host of treats, and the high-tech Parc de la Villette , in the northeast of the city, will keep children entertained for hours. Most of the city's other parks have some activities for children, usually an enclosed playground with swings, climbing frames and often a sandpit. Many also have
guignol (puppet) shows, the French equivalent of Punch and Judy.
