This closed circuit racetrack offers rally racing motor-heads the chance to live the dream.

On the site of a 12th-century ecclesiastical priory which became an agricultural farm after the French Revolution and finally a haras or stud farm in 1890, the Haras de Jardy property today includes an Equestrian Center for breeding, tennis courts, and a golf course. Facilities for dressage, jumping, barrel racing, polo, racing, and any horse-related activity imaginable are available at the Haras de Jardy, along with workshops and trainings to learn about them and events where everyone can enjoy them. Horses and ponies can be rented at hourly rates for a one-time visit and classes may be taken individually or as part of a group.

Atout Branches is a fun tree-climbing and zip-lining park with a bunch of activities great for outings with friends and family, especially children. Visitors can navigate a maze of more than 100 pathways through trees, leap across rope bridges, or take assisted jumps of heights from three (9 feet) to 18 meters (54 feet). Popular activities here also include organized treasure quests, team orientation games, and tree climbs for all ages and athletic levels. Once a month, the park is opened during the cover of night. Full safety kits are provided and courses are separated by skill level, from beginner to expert.

In French, Chute Libre means “free fall,” and this skydiving outfitter provides free-falling adventures from the air above the outskirts of Paris and other regions of France. Divers can parachute-jump in tandem over one to three zones, and take official skydive training courses based on six freefall training sessions. The outfitter claims that its drop zones, which are mostly located between Amiens and saint Quentin, are those closest to Paris in all of France. The founding skydivers of the company have seven years on the French national skydiving team as experience, and hold the world record in speed sky diving.

Aerokart is devoted to a complete indoor adventure experience, encompassing a massive go-kart track and a free fall simulator which make it feel like you're skydiving without having to jump out of an airplane. If you get hungry after all that adrenaline-pumping action then just head to their cafe for a snack and drink.

A tour beginning at Parc André Citroën, Ballon de Paris offers a unique experience while visiting the city. Gaining up to 150 meters (490 feet) in elevation during the tour, the 32-by-22-meter (104-by-72-foot) hot air balloon filled with helium provides passengers with a spectacular view of the city's main attractions, from the Eiffel Tower to the Seine River and Montparnasse Tower. Besides being an exciting tourist attraction, the tethered helium balloon serves as an air quality indicator for the city.
