Hanna the zig zag parc has three bouncy castles and a 10 hectar (whatever those are) "vegetal maze."
"Brussels -- only an hour from Paris on the Eurostar. You may as well start your visit at the centre of it all, the Grand Place de Bruxelles. Many people describe it as the most beautiful square in the world and although I haven’t visited every square in the world, I’m going to have to agree. Beauty is in every direction and although the cafes in the square are overpriced it’s well worth the expense so you can sit back and enjoy the view and watch people go by."

"Chantilly -- The chateau is just plain adorable. It’s surrounded by a moat and extensive formal and informal gardens. You can easily spend hours wandering around the woods and that’s exactly what I did."
"Versailles -- Be privy to the most intimate life at court as you're led along narrow passageways and up winding staircases to the chambers and antechambers of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Afterward, do as the royalty did when the Chateau felt as busy as Paris and flee to the expansive Parc de Versailles, the Grand and Petit Trianon palaces, and the tucked away lakeside village and farm of the Domaine of Marie-Antoinette, with its thatched-roof cottages and water mill."

Hanna picnic lunching here is veeeeery tempting.
"Fontainebleau: If you're at all outdoorsy, spend time hiking in the dense Fontainebleau forest, just on the outskirts of the town, where the French Royalty once held elaborate hunts. In the town of the same name, you'll find the Château de Fontainebleau, a 16th-century château that was a primary residence of Napoleon, with its luxurious 100-foot-long ballroom."

"Marly-le-Roi -- This small, royal town is the perfect destination for those who want to spend the afternoon breathing in country air while ambling along hilly cobblestone streets lined with boutiques filled with crafts, local fabrics, and antiques. ... The tremendous English-style park still exists as well; take a stroll across the expansive lawns to build up an appetite for lunch or to walk it off before heading back to Paris."

Hanna i noticed that too!
"Cardiff has a few farmers markets which are very popular with locals and the tourists that hunt them out. Try to visit Riverside Market on Sunday and taste a gorgeous Crepe or Galette from La Creperie de Sophie."
