Parc de la Villette

From outdoor movie screenings in the summer to spontaneous breakdance performances & interesting temporary exhibitions in the Grand Hall, this is perhaps the most vibrant & culture-centered park in all of Paris. Spanning both sides of the Canal de l’Ourcq, the park includes a special kids’ area called the ‘Jardin des Vents et des Dunes’ with play spaces for children from 0-13 years. There’s also a crazy slide near the water that’s sure to thrill your little ones and small electric boats for hire to cruise the canal. Photo: © Guilhem Vellut BY CC 2.0
