Near Parc Astérix
Château de Chantilly 9.0 km
A château about 50 kilometres north of Paris, made up of a Petit Château built around 1560 and a Grand Château rebuilt in the 1870s. It holds a major collection of old paintings, a horse museum in its Great Stables and gardens laid out by Le Nôtre.
Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie 30 km

A white-domed basilica on the summit of Montmartre, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Built of a stone that stays pale as it weathers, it looks down over all of Paris from the highest point in the city.
Montmartre 32 km
A 130-metre hill in the north of Paris that gives its name to the district around it. Known for its artists, its cabarets and the white basilica on its summit, it still has steep cobbled lanes, long flights of steps and painters at work on the Place du Tertre.
Disneyland Park 33 km
