For families wanting to be in close proximity to Disney without spending a Disney budget, a stay at Les Villages Nature Paris is certainly worth considering. Less than a 10 minute drive from Disneyland Paris itself, situated 30 minutes from the centre of Paris, and just over a three hour drive from Calais, Les Villages Nature Paris - also referred to as Villages Nature Paris or just VNP - offers families a great place to stay, relax and explore what the area has to offer.
As a Center Parcs , VNP is home to an educational farm, huge indoor and outdoor playgrounds, an impressive waterpark as well as plenty of wildlife, room to explore, a supermarket, and lots of food and dining options to choose from. Visitors here can book directly via Center Parcs, via Booking.
For our family holiday this year, my husband and I decided that we wanted to combine a trip to Disneyland Paris with a resort stay. We also knew that we wanted to avoid a plane journey this year, after previous trips abroad via air had left us scarred for life.

With the help of snacks, a couple of activity tables, their Amazon Kindles, as well as a lot of bribery, we completed the almost eight hours of driving with ease across two days of travelling.
Center Parcs is a European network of villages that offer holidays in a forest setting. The concept began in the Netherlands and over the years has expanded into other European countries, including the UK, France, Belgium, and Germany. In France, there are seven holiday parks available located in different regions, including Sologne, Normandy, Picardy, Paris, and the Vosges mountains. Forest locations: all are situated in wooded areas and provide a natural environment for guests.
