Just 32km from Paris and 6km from Disneyland Paris, Villages Nature Paris is nestled amid forests and envisioned as "a city of plants that explores the art of living inside and outside, sharing family moments with children or friends in the heart of an inhabited garden and enhanced nature." Spanning 2.1 hectares, the four seasonal flower gardens crafted by landscape architect Thierry Huau honor the elements—Air, Water, Fire, and Earth—with life-size games, land art installations, and striking sculptures. Join nature-focused activities like "Meet the Gardener" or "Organic Gardening" workshops to master sustainable garden care.
Protecting local flora and fauna is at the core of Villages Nature Paris. This dedication shines through visitor awareness workshops, the planting of 28,800 trees and 430,000 plants, 4,000 linear meters of natural riverbanks, and beehive installations. The resort fully embraces the "One Planet Living" framework from the Bioregional association, ensuring eco-conscious operations from the ground up.
Designed by architect Jacques Ferrier as an origami-inspired marvel, this 11,500 m² wooden and glass structure offers year-round swimming in geothermally heated water at 30°C. Thrill seekers love the 7 giant slides, climbing wall, wave pool, lazy river, spa with salt cave, and outdoor lagoon. For efficiency, outdoor pool water is stored beneath at nightfall to minimize energy use—a smart, sustainable touch.
Nature permeates every detail, from interiors mimicking tree-branch shadows on carpets to exteriors clad in wood and living green walls. Balconies and terraces beckon for serene contemplation across 916 cottages and apartments in the village center, by the lake, or deep in the forest. Three renowned designers created distinct styles:
- Cocon VIP Apartments and Cottages
Lakeside one- or two-level retreats with panoramic bathtub views. Design: Ana Moussinet.
- Country Premium Apartments and Cottages
Cozy, authentic vibes inspired by English countryside charm. Design: Beverley Bayes.
- Clan Comfort Cottages
Playful rooms perfect for families. Design: Sophie Jacqmin.
Every stay includes made-up beds, towels, end-of-stay cleaning, unlimited access to five universes (Aqualagon, BelleVie Farm, Lakeside Promenade, Extraordinary Gardens, Forest of Legends), and activities like animal care, cooking workshops, and gardener meetups.
Whether you're athletic, adventurous, foodie, or contemplative, there's something for you—from paddleboarding on the lake and bread- or butter-making at BelleVie Farm to raft-building and treetop canopy walks. Enjoy lakeside events like pétanque, wine tastings, concerts; or garden treasures hunts and fireside music evenings.
