• Toilets are limited to the Parc Floral, the Arboretum and the zoo side of Lac Daumesnil, so plan stops around them
• No changing tables anywhere in the woods, according to the city, so bring a changing mat for babies
• Picnic tables and drinking fountains are spread through the woods, with snack stands and cafés for lunch

The city's largest green space covers 995 hectares of woods, four lakes linked by streams, and open lawns on its eastern edge. Kids can rent a rowboat on Lac Daumesnil and cross the bridges to its two islands, ride a pony, catch a Guignol puppet show, or try the playgrounds, sandpits and swings. The Parc Floral and the Paris Zoo sit inside the woods.
