The playground and skatepark in Bogis-Bossey form a clever duo: while the youngest climb the structures and slide down the slide, the older kids perform tricks on scooters or skateboards on the nearby modules. Each has their own space, and parents can relax while keeping an eye on both from the same bench.
The place attracts families from neighboring villages, proving that a good spot doesn't need to be large to be popular. Helmet recommended, snack advised.
Around, the country paths of Terre Sainte are perfect for walks or bike rides, between fields and forest edges. A simple and local outing, just the way we like it: Bogis-Bossey shows that villages still have great assets to offer to children.
