This weekend of April 1 and 2, 2023, head for Essonne and the Chamarande domain, to try out dozens of sporting activities with your family, including climbing, mountain biking, canoeing and even paragliding!

Accessible by RER C, less than an hour from the capital, the Domaine départemental de Chamarande is a true haven of peace and nature, in the heart of Essonne. This weekend of April 1 and 2, 2023, a festival of sport and nature invites itself in this remarkable garden, with many sports activities to try for the whole family, and the curious Francilians. All this while raising awareness about the protection of biodiversity!

What sports can be tried? A bit of everything, and some of them are even unusual! On the program, mountain biking, hiking with dogs (cani-rando), climbing, rowing, fishing, pony, archery, boating, orienteering, ski roulette, paragliding initiation, not to mention a giant zip line, enough to find what you are looking for and have fun, no doubt about it!

For more creative activities, you can also make bracelets out of tires or even make your own smoothie while pedaling a bike! Moreover, a container is at your disposal if you want to drop off sports equipment to recycle them. A virtuous weekend, in short, and for free!
