The crème de la crème of French holiday regions? That's the Côte d'Azur, of course. A region known for its luxurious yachts, azure blue sea with fine beaches and lively, upmarket towns. No wonder the rich and famous love to settle here. If you venture a little further inland, this is the perfect place for a walk or sporting activity. In short: a holiday destination that has it all! But did you also know that there are several parks where you can have a great time during a holiday in one of the most beautiful parts of France? We are happy to tell you which amusement parks should be on your to-do list for your next holiday to the Côte d'Azur.

1. Aqualand in Sainte-Maxime

Ready for some fun or fancy a refreshing dip? Aqualand in Sainte-Maxime is the place to be! In July and August, this spectacular family park welcomes daredevils who aren't afraid of a little adrenaline. With a dozen slides, you won't be slipping away anytime soon. Go for the X-Trem bowl for a real experience, or choose a real family slide like the Rapids. You decide what your day will look like, because if you're not crazy about water slides, you can also relax in the hot tub or have fun in the wave pool. Between swimming and sliding, treat yourself to a delicious crêpe or a refreshing ice cream. What a party!

2. Aqualand in Fréjus

For even more sliding fun, visit Aqualand in Fréjus. This water paradise has no fewer than 19 slides. You'll be spoilt for choice! From extreme slides to family-friendly options and everything in between, you'll find it all here. Which slide is your favourite? All that sliding is bound to make you hungry. No problem, because the water park has plenty of tasty treats to fill your stomach. Can you smell that too? The delicious aromas from the snack bar, sandwich bar and pizzeria will greet you as soon as you step off the slide. Hmmm! Perfect for a day full of fun.

3. Azur Park in Gassin

There is plenty of fun to be had at Azurpark throughout the season. This amusement park in Gassin is open from April to September for anyone who loves adventure.

4. Accrobranche in Sainte-Maxime

Want to take your holiday to new heights? Go tree climbing in Sainte-Maxime! You'll be amazed by the possibilities here, because there's so much to do. How about one of the eight climbing trails through the 2-hectare pine and cork oak forest? There's a trail for every level and age. You can also try the trails in the hanging nets or hop on a skateboard or electric scooter to explore the area. There are plenty of options! If you thought that was all, you're wrong, because activities such as paintball, laser tag and archery are also on the programme. We bet the whole family will never want to go home!

5. Canoeing on the Argens River in Vidauban

6. Bowling and karting in Grimaud

Grimaud is the place to be for sports and recreation! At the bowling alley of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez in Grimaud, you can see who can throw the most strikes or spares every day of the year. This is the place to be for a fun activity. Just as much fun is a game of karting at Karting Loisir, also located in Grimaud. Who will win?
