Mer de Sable is France's oldest theme park, founded in 1963 by artist Jean Richard on a unique geological site: the Ermenonville sand dunes, remnants of an ancient desert dating from the Tertiary era, in the heart of the Oise forest. This extraordinary landscape of white dunes among pine trees naturally inspired a western and Saharan theme. The park is organised into three worlds: the Desert Gates, with Sahara-themed rides and dromedaries, the Far West, with its authentic cowboy village, horse stunt shows and gold mine, and the Jungle, with family rides and exotic animals. Mer de Sable stands out for the quality of its live shows, notably the equestrian show in the western arena where professional stunt riders recreate western scenes with around twenty horses. The park is particularly suited to families with children aged 2 to 12, with gentle rides and a warm atmosphere far from the frenzy of large parks. The surrounding Ermenonville forest also houses Jean-Jacques Rousseau's tomb on the Île des Peupliers in the Parc Jean-Jacques-Rousseau, a cultural detour popular with visitors. By TaxiNeo taxi, you reach this nature haven without the complications of the narrow forest road and limited parking.
Route
Route Paris → Mer de Sable
Departure is from your Paris address. Your TaxiNeo driver joins the A1 motorway towards Lille via Porte de la Chapelle. After passing Charles de Gaulle airport and the Senlis toll, you take exit 8 towards Ermenonville. The D330 then crosses the magnificent Ermenonville forest, a pine and oak woodland that is part of the Chantilly-Ermenonville forest massif. The road winds through the woods for about 10 km, offering glimpses of the famous white sand dunes between the trees. The park entrance appears on the left, nestled in a clearing. Your driver drops you directly at the main entrance. The setting is immediately transporting: the omnipresent sand and maritime pines give the impression of being whisked away to a desert. For the return, your driver can explore the charming village of Ermenonville and its abbey during the wait, or wait in the shaded park car park. In case of traffic on the A1, a route via the A3 then N2 via Dammartin-en-Goële is a viable alternative.

Detailed comparison of transport options
There is no direct public transport to Mer de Sable. By train, Paris Nord → Senlis is not direct (connection at Chantilly-Gouvieux, about 1 hour), then 15 km remain with no regular bus.
