We tested. Sherwood Park, in the Val d'Oise

What is it?

An adventure park located in Viarmes, less than 30 kilometers from Paris, in the Val d'Oise, to dive into the world of Robin Hood.

Why do we love?

First, for the coolness of the site (11 hectares of forest!), which makes it an ideal refuge in hot weather. Then, for the variety of tree climbing courses, from very easy accessible from 1m to very difficult reserved for over 1m60. Beginners or enthusiasts will necessarily find a course at their harness among the 370 workshops offered perched at heights of 1 to 20 meters, between monkey bridges, Tarzan ropes, swings... The park being very extensive, you are not guaranteed to find a free route or with very little waiting time, even in busy periods. Finally, for the diversity of activities possible for all ages, from pony rides (with supplement) to archery (idem) via perched courses accessible from 3 years old to inflatable games.
