Lovely swimming pool but don't go in your English swimming shorts (Bermuda style) or even in…read moreAustralian sun protection swimming stuff as they won't let you swim. There are notices warning you at the door and the lifeguards will pull your children out of the water for infringements. Boys and men have to wear speedo type trunks. No idea why. No idea if it is the material or the length they are objecting to. My son got away with wearing his sister's bikini bottoms but, as you can imagine, he was not keen on doing so. But once you've obeyed the dress code it is a lovely place with a water slide, a big pool, a smaller pool that is deep enough to learn to swim but not deep enough to scare you and all the other things that French pools so so well - so you could easily spend most of a day here (though it gets cheaper after 5pm)

When you are around the Divonne lake, there is a stop which kids and adults will enjoy: ForestLand…read more Not only climbing trees but as well games like inflatable surfaces, huge trampolines, minigolf, and small carts to drive around the lake. There are 3 parcours in the trees, one for small kids from 4 to 8 or more years old, it is a good start to take confidence, and 2 parcours for adults (4m high and 10m high). After a putting on a safety vest, you will be iven a short security talk on how to behave on the parcours. Nothing difficult but common sense rules, required to have fun afterwards. You will walk through tyroliennes, still and moving bridges, fun nets, and other fun structures to cross. We had a lot of fun, not only with our 2 kids (6 and 8 years old) but as adults on the higher parcours. A little rest area is available and usual sweets can be purchased. Only sugary drinks, not much there to say. Easy parking and great location to spend an afternoon as a family or as a group of friends. You can celebrate birthdays.

We went up the mountain in summer and it was just SO Heidi. Apart from the mountain bikers who use…read morethe cable cars to get to the top of the mountain and then provide entertainment for the more staid walkers and sightseers by plunging back down the mountain with (apparently) no fear. But if you ignore the mad bikers you can walk for miles on the top of the Jura mountains enjoying the most wonderful views of the Alps, Lake Leman, Cern, the airport, the other mountains. You'll meet cows with bells on and see where the skiing takes place in the winter. At the top of the cable car there is a restaurant and with a balcony terrace so you can enjoy the view (and watch the bikers disappearing down what seems to be a sheer drop). Can't wait for the winter when it opens again for the skiing. (Which reminds me - it is best to check on the website for the opening days and times. We went the next week with friends from England only to find it was shut for the autumn even though it was still August and amazing weather).

Walk up to Mont Mussy from Divonne and you go past springs bubbling out of the mountain. Keep going…read moreand you walk through lush woods, packed with mushroom hunters on a damp autumn Sunday. Keep going further and you get to the farm where I'm told you can get tea and cakes during the summer. Keep going and you can keep the children amused by sending them round the fitness course to balance on beams and swing on bars. Keep going even further and you get to great views and open meadows. A great place to take children, dogs, bikes, visiting grandparents or anybody that you think could do with a bit of fresh air.
