The February holidays are coming and with them, the desire to stretch your legs and discover new horizons! If, however, you lack inspiration, the Tourist Office offers 10 ideas for outings (and a bonus…) on the Grand Roissy!
Goussainville
Do you know the Urbex? Short for “urban exploration”, the urbex allows visitors to visit places built and then abandoned by man, but also to showcase an urban heritage that is often overlooked or considered unattractive for a visit. What if you got into Urbex by exploring the Old Country of Goussainville and this almost abandoned village ? An idea for an atypical and original visit!
Where ? Goussainville.
The Nathalie Collantes company offers dance encounters at the library for children between 7 and 10 years old. Between the shelves, for almost an hour, these encounters combine different points of view on dance: that of the dancer, but also that of the choreographer, the reader, the spectator.
Where ? Goussainville, François Mauriac Media Library, Wednesday February 10, 2021 at 14:30 p.m.
Louvres
In Archéa, an online conference: Cuisine au château. Current research on the archaeological site of Orville. An interactive conference-debate, posted on Archéa's Facebook page. With archaeologists Clarissa Cagnato and Aurélie Chantran, from the ArScAn laboratory.
Where ? On Facebook d'ARCHÉA, Friday February 12 at 20:30 p.m., then the next day on the channel Youtube of the museum.
ÉCOUEN
In Écouen, the castle grounds are still open. Take a breath of fresh air with a panoramic view of the Plaine de France.
Where ? Rue Jean Bullant, in Écouen. The estate is open from 8 a.m. to 17 p.m. Wearing a mask is compulsory in the ski area.
After discovering the domain, follow the path of the painters in the cobbled streets of the city. Many of them set up shop in Écouen, which has since become an international center for genre painting, on the initiative of Pierre-Édouard Frère. 20 lecterns take you to discover these emblematic artists such as Paul Soyer, Duverger, Dargelas, Auguste Schenck or even Jules Paulin Lorillon, who loved to represent scenes from everyday life. At each stage, you can discover a reproduction of a period painting in front of the point of view it represents. The Painters' Trail thus offers you a real journey through time, from the 19e century to the present day.
Where ? Ecouen.
Roissy-en-France
At the Roissy International Golf, follow the… pedestrian route! The Golf has been designed to be accessible to everyone: it has 6 km walking routes for pedestrians and cyclists, a large pool equipped with picnic areas, as well as flora and fauna educational trails. It is an ideal walk, to do alone or with the family, to enjoy a breath of fresh air.
Where ? Allee du Golf, 95700 Roissy-en-France.
We can no longer travel but the photo exhibition de Roissy-en-France is still available. Escape thanks to the sumptuous pictures of Olivier Grunewald. The photographer captured incredible landscapes around the world. What to dream of before being able to travel again!

Luzarches
Escape to the Botanical Garden from Luzarches. Located in the city center, it contains more than 2500 plants and nearly 400 varieties of plants. Its surface area is 2700 m².

The hamlets Gascourt, Thimécourt, Hérivaux and Bertinval, a little away from the city center, are just as remarkable. Thanks to the panels which mark out the heart of town, you can discover the history of Luzarches.
