Wild West Show at Disney Village: Yeehaw for Dinner & Drama
Don’t rush back to your hotel—stick around for Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show (within Disney Village), where stunt riding, rodeo tricks, and cowboy comedy come with a heaping plate of Tex-Mex grub. The saloon-style arena, with generous helpings of chili, ribs, and cornbread, has a rootin’-tootin’ atmosphere the whole family will love.
The action is non-stop, with horses thundering around the arena, buffalo herds, Native American dancers, and even a little Disney sparkle. Kids can cheer on their team, grown-ups can lean into the boisterous fun, and everyone leaves with a face full of cornbread and a huge smile.
Parc Asterix: Adventure, Laughter, and Roller Coasters Galore
If you’ve had your fill of fairy tales and want a wilder ride, Parc Asterix is the perfect next stop. This high-spirited theme park (a short drive or shuttle ride away) is packed with Roman and Gaulish antics, big splash rides, and some of France’s best roller coasters. Themed zones whisk you from ancient Greece to Viking villages and there’s no shortage of live shows—inventive, jam-packed with slapstick, and (of course) just a little bit mischievous. The food here is full-on fun, too—giant turkey drumsticks and wild boar stew if you want to eat like Obelix!
What do we love most? Parc Asterix has all the energy and color of Disney, but with a distinctly French sense of humor. If you’re traveling with teens, thrill seekers, or anyone who appreciates a little irreverence, you’ll leave with huge smiles (and maybe a few toga party photos).
La Vallée Village: Designer Finds in a Chic Outdoor Setting
If shopping is your idea of a magical day, La Vallée Village, just a few minutes from Disney Village, is a fashionista’s dream. Think charming outdoor lanes, cute streetlamps, and over 100 top French and international brands—always up to 60% off retail prices. Browse luxury labels like Longchamp and Lacoste, or discover chic French designers you won’t spot back home.
The vibe here is more open-air village than busy mall, with sweet cafés, sun-soaked benches, and plenty of people-watching. Even if you’re purely window-shopping, it’s a lovely way to spend an afternoon (and snap some effortlessly stylish Parisian Instagram shots). Grab a cappuccino at Amorino and a blissful scoop of gelato while you wander.
Palace of Versailles: A Day Trip Fit for Royalty
Palace of Versailles: A Day Trip Fit for Royalty
Want a total change of pace from the theme park buzz? Hop a train and experience one of France’s greatest treasures: the Palace of Versailles. Just an hour from Disney Village, this dazzling château sweeps you back through centuries of royalty, intrigue, and over-the-top garden parties. Marvel at the Hall of Mirrors, lose yourself in the manicured gardens, and stroll the Grand Trianon like French kings and queens.
Versailles isn’t just about the past—the palace hosts concerts and events year-round, so there’s always a dash of modern sparkle to go with the gilt. Why go? Because this isn’t just sightseeing—it’s a spellbinding dose of French history, pure grandeur, and endless selfie opportunities.
Aquarium de Paris: Dive Into an Underwater World
Even after the Disney magic, the wonder continues at Aquarium de Paris, where families can trade mouse ears for mermaid vibes. Home to over 10,000 sea creatures, tunnels of swirling fish, and even live mermaid shows, this spot is equal parts education and enchantment. Touch tanks let little ones get up close with starfish or sea urchins, while shark tunnels and giant tanks amaze all ages.
What sets this aquarium apart? The sense of discovery and delight, whether you’re learning about coral conservation or watching a diver feed the rays. It’s right in the heart of Paris—a quick RER train ride from Disney Village—and a refreshing way to keep those vacation “wow” moments rolling.
Bateaux Parisiens River Cruise: Classic Parisian Views
The fun doesn’t stop once you leave Disney Village. For a real Paris postcard moment, head into the city and hop aboard a Bateaux Parisiens River Cruise. Glide under historic bridges, watch the twinkling Eiffel Tower, and spot Notre Dame from the water—no traffic jams, just gentle breezes and amazing photo ops. The boats are comfy, with outdoor decks and commentary that spins the city’s stories as you glide along the Seine.
We especially love these cruises at sunset, when the monuments are bathed in golden light and Paris feels utterly magical (even after a day at Disney!). Kick back with a glass of bubbly—kids will love spotting landmarks, and grownups will love the change of pace.
Val d’Europe Shopping Center: High Street Faves & French Flavors
Just a quick stroll from Disney Village, Val d’Europe is way more than your average mall. Yes, there are all your favorite international retailers, but Parisian style sneaks in everywhere—artisan bakeries, cheese shops, and a gorgeous glass roof that lets in tons of light. Pick up picnic supplies, snack your way through the patisseries, or even book a beauty treatment.
There’s a massive Auchan hypermarket if you want to try French snacks without breaking the bank (pro tip: pick up salted butter caramels or mini madeleines for the train ride home). The food court serves up everything from sushi to crêpes, so everyone’s taste buds win.
Ô Chateau: Sip Like a Local (Adults Only!)
Ô Chateau: Sip Like a Local (Adults Only!)
When it’s time for a grown-up treat, hop on a train to central Paris and head for Ô Chateau, one of the city’s best hubs for all things wine. Expert sommeliers make tasting accessible, even if the only thing you know about Bordeaux is how to spell it. Classes are relaxed, friendly, and fun—think laughter, nibbles of cheese, and stories that make French wine culture easy to love.
From introductory tastings to food-paired dinner experiences, Ô Chateau is a must for wannabe wine buffs or anyone wanting a special night out. You’ll finish not just a little rosier but a lot more “in the know” about French life, all in a sleek, contemporary setting.
Gourmet Chocolate Museum: A Sweet Escape for All Ages
Ready for a treat? Head into Paris and indulge your senses at the Gourmet Chocolate Museum (Musée Gourmand du Chocolat). This delectable spot is a dream come true for chocolate lovers of all ages—an easy RER ride from Disney Village and a surefire hit with families and curious foodies alike.
The museum’s interactive journey takes you from the fascinating origins of chocolate in ancient civilizations to the confections that make French pâtisseries famous today. You’ll find gob-smacking displays of antique chocolate molds, intricate sculptures, and endless varieties of chocolate bars just begging to be sampled. Whether you’re looking to brush up on your chocolate knowledge, nab a box of Parisian truffles to take home, or just add an extra sprinkle of sweetness to your Paris trip, the Gourmet Chocolate Museum is an unmissable detour. It’s the perfect way to follow up the high-energy fun of Disney Village with pure, tasty delight.
