Weekend:5 good reasons to go green at Villages Nature Paris

The beauty of the site and the Extraordinary Gardens

Located 32km from Paris and 6km from Disneyland Paris, Villages Nature Paris is surrounded by forests and above all designed as "a city of plants that explores the art of living inside and outside, the art of sharing every moment in family, with children or with friends in the heart of an inhabited garden and sublimated nature”. For the sublime, we are served! On 2.1 hectares, the 4 flower gardens in all seasons designed by Thierry Huau celebrate the four elements of nature:Air, Water, Fire and Earth. With life-size games, works of land art, amazing sculptures... And the possibility of participating in activities related to nature such as "Meet the gardener" or "Organic gardening" to learn how to take care of your garden as well as possible. natural.

Commitment to sustainable development

Protecting flora and fauna? A strong commitment for Villages Nature Paris, which translates into awareness-raising workshops offered to all visitors, the planting of 28,800 trees and 430,000 plants on the site, the creation of 4,000 linear meters of natural banks, the installation of beehives… Villages Nature Paris adheres to the “One Planet Living” approach, proposed by the Bioregional association.

The Aqualagon

This architectural feat designed by Jacques Ferrier and designed like an origami which, once unfolded, is transformed into an aerial construction of 11,500 m2 of wood and glass, allows you to swim all year round in water heated to 30° by geothermal! Between its 7 giant slides, its climbing wall, its wave pool, its experience river, its spa with salt cave and its outdoor lagoon, it is impossible to get bored. Small additional feat:at nightfall, the water from the outdoor pools is stored under the Aqualagon to reduce energy consumption as much as possible.

The architecture of cottages and apartments

Here again, nature (re)takes all its rights, from the interior decoration of cottages and apartments (carpet representing the shade of tree branches, etc.) to the exterior cladding, between wood and green walls. Everywhere, the balconies and terraces invite you to contemplate and, whatever the size of your accommodation, you feel the same serenity. A choice of 916 cottages and apartments in the center of the village, by the lake and in the heart of the forest, designed by three different decorators:
