For those who have always longed to swing amongst the trees and play with the monkeys, the Arbre et Adventure park on the Cote Picardie will be a dream come true.

Only opened recently, the Arbre et Adventure (Trees and Adventure) offers visitors the chance to see one of France's most beautiful forests from above.

Footbridges and platforms suspended up to 15 metres above the forest floor allow one to swing from tree to tree exactly like Tarzan himself – of course proper safety training is provided by expert instructors before one is allowed to set foot in the park.

The Arbre et Adventure is a mere hour from Nice and is open on bank holidays and weekends.

And Nice itself is a city well worth visiting if one is looking to relax by the ocean after a day's adventure among the trees.

Offering the Promenade des Anglais, where English tourists have moseyed by the Mediterranean since the 18th century, Nice is the leading resort town of the French Riviera.
