An adult’s escape to Les Villages Nature® Paris, in France

Situated 32 km from Paris and 6 km from Disneyland® Paris, Les Villages Nature® Paris offers an ideal escape. Designed by Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs Group and Euro Disney S.C.A., the resort – made up of five different worlds – combines nature, architecture, sustainability, and learning; it is designed for guests to immerse themselves in experiences, make the most of the great outdoors and discover something new.

Although the resort is perfect for families, there’s plenty for adults too. Fitness fanatics can enjoy a selection of active sessions, wine lovers can join in with an introductory tasting, those with a competitive streak can challenge friends to a volleyball match, and guests wanting to completely relax can make the most of the Deep Nature Spa.

Find out about these adult-friendly activities below. If you would like any more information, or images, please let me know.

Be active: from signing up to an Aqua Bike (€15.50 / £13 pp) or Aqua Gym (€12 / £10 pp) session in the Aqualagon®, to joining in with an early-morning run (free) around the leafy resort, there are many ways to keep fit and healthy at Les Villages Nature® Paris. Classes are small, fun, and often accompanied by some great tunes and plenty of laughs. The Aqualagon® is one of the biggest water parks in Europe to be heated to 30°C entirely with geothermal energy. After the exercise class, why not whizz down one of the six slides, have a snack at the Lagon Café, or sit back in one of the hot tubs and recharge…

Sample wine: located on the Lakeside Promenade, considered to be the heart and soul of Les Villages Nature® Paris, is CEPAGES. Specialising in serving delicious traditional cuisine, the mood-lit restaurant is also renowned for its vast selection of fine wine. Plunge into this fascinating world of ‘palettes’, ‘legs’, ‘aromas’, and ‘sugar content’ with a master sommelier, who will also teach guests how to pair wine perfectly with food. The activity costs €59 / £50 pp, lasts 90 minutes, and participants need to be age 18+.

On the water: at the centre of Les Villages Nature® Paris sits a large lake with electric boats (€25 / £21 per boat seats four), pedal boats (€14 / £12 per boat seats four), and Stand-Up Paddle boards (€10 / £8 pp) waiting to be used. Pick the vessel of choice and enjoy a leisurely time on the sparkling waters. Afterwards, why not pick up some delicious fresh bakes from Chez Meunier Bakery, or snacks from Franprix Supermarket, and have a picnic on the beach?

Competition time: holidays are never complete without a little friendly competition, and there’s plenty of opportunity to challenge partners, friends, and family at Les Villages Nature® Paris. Take a Segway (€16 / £13 pp) out to see who is the most proficient at balancing and driving; spend an evening Bowling (€38 / £31 per lane for up to six people) to see who can knock down the most skittles; hire some clubs and see who can get a hole in one on the Mini Golf course (€10 / £10 pp); or select a bow and arrow and try to hit the bullseye in Archery (€19 / £16 pp). Guests can also make new friends and play volleyball at the beach, or sign up to the Escape Game (€80 / £67 for two people) and see if – by working together – they can solve the clues and break free…

Total chill: completely switch off at Les Villages Nature® Paris’ Deep Nature Spa. Home to a wellness area, hammam, salt cabin, sauna, and treatment room, the hardest part will be choosing where to start. Pick from a wide range of massages, or select a wellness package, which includes a bit of everything. Emerge from the spa feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and ready for anything. Massages start from €60 / £50 pp.

And relax: after each exhilarating day at the eco-friendly resort, adults can return to their welcoming self-catered cottage and put their feet up. Although all cottages (Comfort, Premium and VIP) feature outdoor seating, soft sofas, and comfortable beds, VIP Cottages also have a luxury bathroom with a whirlpool bath and massage shower. Sleeping two to 12 people, adults can enjoy a romantic break surrounded by nature or join forces with their friends for a more sociable holiday.
