Great aquarium a bit outside the city that will keep you busy for a good 2 hours. You can see fish that live in the region, but also colorful species from tropical seas as well as species from the (very) cold seas.

I have tried quite a few pools and water parks in the Paris region, like Aquaboulevard, and there is no comparison. The water park at Village Nature is by far the best. It is super big, has slides, a wild river, an outdoor area with greenery, a lake and beach, plus other sports activities available.

Not too far from Paris, you can get day passes to access a big part of Village Nature, especially the water park and its outdoor beaches. That is what we did and it is just insane! Between the pool, the slides, the wild river, and the outdoor area where you can relax in the sun (when there is some), it is really top notch.

At first, I was worried that the desert landscapes would be a bit monotonous and lifeless. Not at all! There is quite a lot of variety in the topography and the colors. As for the wildlife, life always finds a way. With a good guide, you will be able to spot it. These moments are all the more precious because they are rare (do you even notice pigeons anymore when you are walking around the city?).

This stadium is one of the biggest in the world, with around 100,000 seats and stands that go way up. The first time you walk in, it is dizzying. And then Barça, what a club! The players they bring out of their academy, La Masia, are unreal: Messi, now Yamal...
