La Mer de Sable

Located just 45 minutes from Paris, in the heart of the Ermenonville forest, La Mer de Sable is a true gem of family entertainment. Inaugurated in 1963, it is the oldest active theme park in France. The park invites you to a total immersion in the atmosphere of the Wild West, divided into three distinct worlds: the New Mexico Desert, the Colorado Canyon, and the Mississippi Valley.

Attractions for All Adventurers

With over 30 attractions, La Mer de Sable caters to all ages and preferences. Younger visitors can enjoy rides suitable from 90 cm tall, such as La Rivière des Castors (Beaver River) or the mini dark-ride Le Bayou des Chicap's. For families seeking moderate thrills, Silver Mountain, a beautifully themed family coaster, offers a pleasant circuit well integrated into the park. The park also features other popular attractions like Le Cheyenne River, a water ride, and Tiger Express, a "wild mouse" for more intense sensations.

Shows and Entertainment: The Heart of the Wild West

One of La Mer de Sable's strengths lies in its high-quality live shows. Every day, the park offers three equestrian and stunt performances that transport visitors into the legends of the Wild West. Don't miss "L'Attaque du Train" (The Train Attack) and "Le Tournoi des Trois Nations" (The Tournament of Three Nations) for moments rich in emotion and action.
