| If
travelling as a family, theme parks are an attraction that both adults
and children will appreciate. Paris has two very important parks:
Eurodisney and Parc Astérix.
If
Paris is the aim of your visit, this is a trip that your children
will appreciate. And if the opposite is true; if the aim of your
visit is one of these parks (and you can benefit, depending on the
time of the year, from interesting travel + accommodation tourist
packages), then try to include a trip to Paris!!!
| Disneyland
Paris |

Eurodisneyland is situated in the Val de Marne, close to Paris (32
Km).
It
is an enormous theme park which features the great classics of Walt
Disney. You can spend a weekend in the huge park and spend the night
in one of its 7 hotels. This world of leisure is made for everyone,
and for all ages.
Eurodisneyland
is made up of 7 villages, each with their own identity. For example,
if you like cowboys and adventures, the Adventureland village is
right for you.
Your
day will be both entertaining and attractive, and in the evening
you can attend the magical parade or one of the concerts.
