You can enjoy a game of mini-golf, bounce on trampolines to let off some steam (or let the kids burn off some energy), or even have a fun soccer match with family or friends to unwind after a busy week. It's a fantastic place to relax, get some exercise, and swim near Paris (just 54 kilometers to be exact).
