Team Picks: Top Activities for an Unforgettable February!

The “House of Dreamers” is an immersive art exhibition happening at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. Conceived by Italian creatives Elena and Giulia Sella, this extraordinary experience welcomes visitors of all ages to dive into a vibrant world through 18 interactive installations. These installations blend projections, soundscapes, lighting effects, and interactive features, crafting a fantastical ambiance.

It’s a perfect outing for families and children, offering a place to wonder and share dreams. Each space is designed to inspire and stimulate your imagination.

The exhibition started in 2024 will continue until March 2^nd, 2025. Tickets can be purchased online, including flexible options that let you choose the date and time of your visit. The exhibition is open daily from 10 AM to 7 PM, with the last entry at 6 PM. On average, the visit lasts about 50 minutes. For additional details and to secure tickets, visit the official website.

To get to the exhibit, walk to Val d’Europe train station in front of our hotel and take the RER A towards Paris (direction: Saint-Germain-en-Laye). Ride for about 35 minutes and get off at Châtelet-Les Halles. From there, it’s a 10-minute walk to Carrousel du Louvre. Head towards the Louvre pyramid and follow signs for the underground shopping mall Carrousel du Louvre.

There is a new nighttime show called “Disney Tales of Magic” that started in January. It’s a 20-minute spectacle with fireworks, fountains, drones lighting up the sky, and a beautiful soundtrack. They project scenes from Disney and Pixar favourites like “Cinderella,” “The Lion King,” and “Encanto” onto Sleeping Beauty Castle and Main Street. It is truly magical.

We recommend you to also check out Marvel Avengers Campus at Walt Disney Studios Park. You’ll get to see Spider-Man, Iron Man, and more superheroes. The rides like “Avengers Assemble: Flight Force” and “Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure,” are super fun, and there are live-action performances too.

Oh, and February has this cozy winter vibe, sometimes it even snows, which just makes everything feel extra magical. Around Valentine’s Day, they decorate the park with romantic touches, so it’s a great spot for couples. Don’t miss the parades and shows; they happen every day, and you can find the times on the Disneyland Paris app.

Make sure to book your tickets and hotel in advance, especially if you’re planning to go around Valentine’s Day when it gets busier. You’re going to have an amazing time!

This February, the Château de Blandy-les-Tours proposes various activities, especially during the school holidays (February 15^th to March 2^nd). They’re having an event called “Blandy in Disguise”, where you can visit the castle and take part in themed activities, kind of like stepping back into medieval times.

The castle is open every day from 1 PM to 6:30 PM during that period.

For little kids (ages 3 to 6), they have fun, easy activities like “Little Ones at Blandy”, where they get a kid-friendly intro to the castle. There are also playful workshops like a treasure hunt called “The Search for the Lost Top”, which sounds very cute.

For older kids (ages 6 to 12), they’ve got more in-depth stuff, like guided tours that dive into the castle’s architecture. Plus, there’s a cool sensory experience called “Blandy Through All the Senses”, where they explore the castle in creative ways.

To get to Château de Blandy-les-Tours by public transport, walk to Val d’Europe train station in front of our hotel, take the RER A towards Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy, get off at Chessy, and transfer to bus line 28 towards Blandy-les-Tours. The bus will take you directly to the château in about 20 minutes.

The rates vary depending on the activities you choose. We recommend you checking their website for the full schedule and to book ahead if you’ll be visiting. It will be a great day out, especially if you’re into history or just want to explore a real medieval castle!
