Ecopark Adventures - Marseille St Jérôme

Ecopark Adventures welcomes you to a green setting between the La Rose and Saint-Jérôme districts to the north of Marseille. Adventurers of all ages and abilities can try their hand at one of the 10 accrobranche (tree climbing) courses, for an introduction a few centimetres off the ground or for acrobatics in the middle of the pine trees!

The park welcomes you for a festive afternoon in the fresh air. There’s a picnic table, cups and goodies for all participants, as well as drinks and sweets. Of course, the package includes access to the tree climbing courses, so you can work off some energy before filling up on sweets and pastries. The birthday cake is not included, but a fridge is available for conversation.

Pastré Aventure - Parc Pastré

At the gateway to the calanques and the Marseilleveyre massif, the Pastré countryside is one of Marseille’s largest green spaces. Between pine forests, scrubland, lawns and beautiful property, this vast park offers you a breath of fresh air just a few metres from the Pointe Rouge.

Pastré Aventure has 7 different courses, suitable for children aged 4 and over, teenagers and adults. The initial package includes access to the tree climbing courses and the provision of benches and picnic tables for the birthday party. You can also organise a tailor-made birthday party with the services of your choice.

Indian Forest - Bouc-Bel-Air

Located on the Décathlon Village site in Bouc-Bel-Air, Indian Forest has 8 tree climbing courses, some of which are open to children aged 4 and over.

Your child and his or her friends are welcome to join in the 3 hours of activities, including 2 and a half hours weaving their way through the trees, crossing footbridges, monkey bridges, rope ladders and zip-lines. A picnic area and fridge are available for the birthday snack, and you’ll receive birthday cards and a present for the child blowing out the candles.

Don’t forget to bring sports or gardening gloves. Pairs are also available for sale on site if you don’t have your own.
