Parc Saint-Paul is an amusement park located north of Paris.
The mid-sized park features a collection of rides aimed at a mainly family market, with rollercoasters including a wooden coaster from The Gravity Group, a PAX mine train and a spinning wild mouse.
Other attractions include Dino Splash, a soaking wet log flume; Château Hanté, a horror walkthrough; and Dino Disk'O, a Zamperla Disk'O Coaster. Visitors looking for a more relaxing day out can take a trip aboard Le Bateau Mississippi for a tour around the park's lake or pedal themselves around on Les Pédalos Cygnes (the swan boats).
Sadly Parc Saint-Paul is a bit rundown and dirty in places. While some of the more recent ride installations are nicely themed, older attractions look less good. Toilets are filthy and smelly even near the start of the day and are best avoided if you can help it.
The park also has a chequered safety record, with several accidents resulting in major injuries or fatalities since 2005 and the owner charged with manslaughter after one such incident in 2020.
Parc Saint-Paul could be a great amusement park, but its often shabby appearance lets it down. There are many better parks in France - and indeed close by - which are much more worthy of a visit.
