What you can do at Villages Nature
A day ticket gives access to several areas of the park. The ones the park highlights are:

- BelleVie Farm, where children can meet farm animals.
- Forest of Legends, an indoor and outdoor adventure playground.

How to get to Villages Nature Paris
By car
Driving is the simplest option if you already have a car. Parking is free for overnight guests, and day visitors pay a daily fee. If you drive an electric car, the park has 110 charging stations.
By RER and bus
There is no direct train. The usual public transport route is to take the RER A and finish with a local bus:
- RER A to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, then bus 47 to the “Villages Nature” stop, or
- RER A to Val d’Europe, then bus 2292 to the “Villages Nature” stop (around 10 minutes on the bus plus a short walk).
Bus tickets are bought from the driver, and the current fare is shown by the operator. With cases, a pushchair and tired children, this is the least comfortable option, so many families choose a transfer for the first and last day.
From the airports
In normal traffic, allow about 45 minutes from Charles de Gaulle, about 40 minutes from Orly and around an hour and a half from Beauvais. Center Parcs also lists local taxi and driver partners for fixed-price rides, so it is worth comparing before you book.

Day visit or overnight stay?
A day visit suits a single, focused trip, for example if you are staying in Paris or at a Disneyland Paris hotel and want a change of pace for the children. The park is open all year, so it works as a rainy-day plan, and the heated water park is the main draw. An overnight stay in a cottage or apartment suits families who want space, a kitchen and several days of activities without moving. If you are combining it with Disneyland Paris, the short drive between the two makes a split stay practical.
Whichever you choose, check what the day ticket or package includes before you go, and make a note of the entrance you need. Day visitors and overnight guests arrive at different gates, and telling your driver which one you want avoids a detour at the end of the journey.
Tips for arriving with a family
- Confirm your check-in and check-out times with Center Parcs, then book your transfer around them.
- Tell us your flight number so we can track delays.
- Give the number of suitcases and any child seats you need when you book.
- If you plan a Disney day as well, see our guide to things to do in Chessy and our Disneyland Paris transfers page.
