Formerly known as the Bois de Vincennes Zoological Park, the 14.5-hectare Paris Zoological Park recently underwent two years of refurbishment works, giving this famous zoological park major natural environmental features, and plenty of room for the animals to roam.
The animal habitats have been grouped five 'biozones', and the zoo has six restaurants and a 4,000 m2 tropical rainforest-filled greenhouse. It's visible from quite far away, thanks to the Big Rock, a 65m-tall artificial mini-mountain, which is an iconic symbol of the Paris Zoological Park.
The largest water park in Paris and one of the premier water parks in Europe, Aquaboulevard is the perfect family-friendly day out in Paris. The park features a wide array of waterslides, wave pools and other thrilling aquatic amenities, as well as more relaxed areas with huge jacuzzis and relaxation areas.
Located in a breathtaking postmodern building designed by Frank Gehry, the Cinémathèque Française is a French non-profit film organization that houses one of the largest archives of film documents and film-related objects in the world.
Alongside daily showings of global cinemas on their film screens, the museum is also home to the Méliès Museum which showcases the life of French cinematic pioneer George Méliès.
