In the heart of a green setting, this site is located overlooking a charming village with a magnificent castle. It can be reached by car or on foot via a pleasant little path. It offers 3 complementary parks, each with their own interest and audience. The treetop adventure course offers several courses to suit children from 3 years old, as well as adults (tested and approved from 2 and a half years old). The instructors are educational in transmitting safety instructions, and vigilant once we are perched in the trees. The welcome is warm with a smiling team, and a dynamic manager who mobilizes to ensure everyone has a good time. It's mission accomplished for our little tribe! The visit to the troglodyte site allowed us to take a nice family walk with discoveries marking the evolution of man. Our guide was able to share his knowledge with us and at the end, offer the children a workshop to learn how to make fire. A true moment of sharing. The dinosaur site really pleased our son. The motion and sound effects won him over and allowed for a quick immersion into the world of dinosaurs. The children were able to do several activities on a freely accessible course (nets, beams, etc.) and take some lovely photos of the dinos, including an animated one that goes around a circuit (paid activity). On the practical side, there are picnic areas in the park. We recommend the baby carrier for the troglodyte site to access the entire site more easily.

"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.
