Nestled in a verdant setting, this site overlooks a charming village with a magnificent castle. It can be reached by car or on foot via a pleasant little path. It offers three complementary parks, each with its own unique appeal and target audience. The treetop adventure course offers several routes suitable for children as young as 3, as well as older children (tested and approved for ages 2 and a half and up). The instructors are skilled at explaining safety instructions and remain vigilant once we're perched in the trees. The welcome is warm, with a smiling team and a dynamic manager who is dedicated to ensuring everyone has a great time. Mission accomplished for our little family! The visit to the troglodyte site allowed us to enjoy a lovely family walk with discoveries that highlight human evolution. Our guide shared his knowledge and, afterwards, offered the children a workshop on how to make a fire. A truly special moment of sharing. The dinosaur site was a big hit with our son. The motion and sound effects captivated him and allowed for a quick immersion into the world of dinosaurs. The children enjoyed several activities on a freely accessible course (nets, beams, etc.) and took great photos with the dinosaurs, including an animated one that goes around a circuit (this activity requires a fee). For your convenience, the park has picnic areas. We recommend using a baby carrier for the cave site to make accessing the entire area easier.

"No animations"

Reviews posted by men8th (Knutsford, United Kingdom) on 13/08/2019

Disappointed that the animations which are clearly advertised in the leaflet (fire lighting etc) were not actually available. No discount offered when we found this out.
