Where to find water games in Parisian parks? Top with children

Parks and areas with water features and misters

It's hot, too hot. Quickly a corner with water! In addition to Parisian pools with small pool for children or Aquaboulevard which is of course a must in the summer, or finally the new swimmable area of Paris Beaches at Villettethere's the option of water games in some parks in Paris. Water games in Parisian parks are unfortunately still too rare. The nicest is of course the jardin d'acclimatation (you can easily spend the day there, but you have to pay to enter), but if you don't have enough time, don't forget the André Citroën park in the 15th or Martin Luther King Park in the 17th.. They are equipped with water games that your children will enjoy, for sure! To the north of Paris, the very large Courneuve park also has a very nice water playground.
