Amazing forest with well marked paths and trails. Boulders and rock formations are huge and spectacular.

Absolutely beautiful walk. Great on a hot day, as sheltered by trees and by the river. Felt like Jurassic Park, absolutely beautiful. Easy walks. Dog friendly

Great place for an easy hike in the forests. The hiking trails are easily accessible through the town of Huelgoat. I recommend to visit the following places: La Grotte de Diablo, Cap d'Artus and Grotte d'Artus. I recommend to plan for at leas half a day to enjoy this place without any stresses.

Amazing place, free to walk round, lots of options on length of walk. Lots of corners to explore. Fun for adults and children. Back pack easier with toddlers. Some steep drops.

Nice forest with big granit rocks, a beautiful canal and an old town nearby

One of the most magical places I've been to. The forest is quite massive and has loads of places to visit, I went for my birthday with my SO and we both had an amazing time. Heading into the forest you will see incredible natural views and even some wildlife. The fountains you find there are nothing but magical and you truly feel something special walking around in this forest.

A very interesting place to visit and walk. Take strong shoes and you will need to climb to a degree. The trip down to the Devils Cave is worth making but involves steep steps and ducking under rocks. For the not able bodied the lake opposite is beautiful and there are many cafés and restaurants nearby.

It's remarkable that this impressive museum only opened its doors in 1985. In the second half of the 19th century, Pont-Aven held a considerable appeal for artists. They came here to paint, as the museum's collection attests. The term "École de Pont-Aven" only emerged later. And it wasn't exclusively French artists who came to work in this region of Brittany; artists of other nationalities also came. The museum explores various themes through artworks from 1850 to 1950. The different perspectives provide a beautiful and varied picture of this particularly artistically prolific period in Pont-Aven. A visit is definitely a must for art lovers.

Very good museum - highly recommended

Very nice museum, the current temporary exhibition is absolutely worth a visit, if you are in the general area of pont-aven. The permanent exhibition is nice, as you can visit some of the sceneries in the paintings within 5 minutes of walking along the woods and the places are definitely recognisable still.

A must see when visiting Pont Aven. Small entrance fee, friendly staff, wonderful historical art on view.

Loves it. Great permanent exhibit and the special exhibit on sorcery was fascinating and chilling.

A modern and beautiful museum in the heart of Pont Aven with a great selection of Breton art and Brittany inspired artists. The art works are nicely presented. Worth a visit!

Very important collection of Post Impressionist artists and the group of Pont Aven, Gauguin, Pizarro, Bernard, etc.

Visiting in May by foot from Carnac, there was no charge to walk around the outside of the site (there was no option to get inside the fence). The stones are tremendous, I have visited a great deal of sites from this period in the UK and could not believe the sheer scale of it. And this is just one of many "alignments" in Carnac. Well worth a visit and Carnac, the beach, and whole area are beautiful as well.

We had a 1-hour tour with “le petit train” as it was raining and before the tour we visited the museum (free entrance) and watched an interesting movie. We were astonished by the number of megalithes and their alignment and happy that the train went in all the major sites around Carnac. The train did not stop and we were not allowed to get down of the train, but in any case all the sites were protected by fences and you could see the megalithes from outside - good decision in order to protect them from people writing their names everywhere. We saw the “Alignements” de Kerlescan, Manio, Kermario et Menec and the place where is (inside, close for visits these days) the Tumulus of St Michel. We were impressed and wonder what is the mystery behind these megalithes.

Legendary & Iconic Historical site If you are a history buff like me then this is the place to come to in France. This place is unique because it is so large, in fact the menhirs are spread on a vast area of a few kilometers. Some are actually now in the sea as some of the peninsulas did not exist in the old days all those millenium ago. It is also really interesting to think that whilst the Egyptians where building the other Karnak, we were building this in Europe. Which really is a lot less impressive, we were basically raising stone and spreading them out. Still this site is amazing so vast so beautiful, even feels peaceful. To be noted at this day nobody knows really what happened to the civilization that created this, all sorts of theories exist. One of the most probable is that they were swamp out by sea level increase and therefore had to abandon these lands. I highly recommend visiting Carnac!

Fields full of menhirs.. Nobody understands what the meaning is till today. Take an 8 km walk or tour train/bus. Reasonable large main parking place and several small ones in the area. Visitor center also with guided walk tour and toilets available. Really cool to see.

The Carnac stones are like nothing I’ve ever seen — thousands of ancient rocks lined up perfectly across the landscape. You can’t walk among them, but the viewing paths give you plenty of great angles to take it all in. It’s one of those places that leaves you wondering about the people who built it and why.

Essential to visit but worth knowing you can't walk through the menhirs unless you are on a guided tour. Visitor centre is worth having a look around and gives a lot of history and context to the site.

Fascinating place. Good place to walk 3-4 km circular routes. Paths lead through megaliths, woodlands and beautiful wildflower meadows. Lots of birdsong and picnic tables. There is even a crepariarie and glace shop en route 2. Local places hire cycles which you can use to ride around and there is a road train or tuk tuks from Carnac for people who less able. It does get quite warm! Visitor center and gift shop offer lots more info plus tours. We went mid may and blessed with gorgeous weather which helped with enjoyment of the place

Tremendous place! It made me painting the tryptich with beautiful views. I share it with all.

We had an awesome sunset here ! You can go down on the beach for even a better view of the sun between the needles, but the way down there is a bit dangerous, not suitable for kids, however the top is totally accessible. This is a must see in Belle-Île. Not so far away there is an old bunker that you can explore.

A great place for photographers and nature lovers.

Very beautiful in good weather and bad. Monet was on to something when he lauded this location!

Breathtaking view and landscape. One of the most beautiful spot in Brittany. It was very windy and gray when we were there. Still, it is absolutely gorgeous. Although very famous and touristic, it kept its charm and wilderness. Certainly hopes it stays this way for a long time. Must-see place when in Brittany. Very easy to get to with the ferries.

So beautiful coast , so beautiful island

Such a stunning place!

Our visit to Josselin’s Castle was absolutely delightful! It proved to be a fantastic experience for all ages, offering something engaging for everyone in our family. Exploring the beautiful castle grounds with my wife, our 4-year-old, and our 6-month-old was both convenient and enjoyable. The rich history, stunning architecture, and family-friendly atmosphere made it a memorable outing. Highly recommended for families looking for an easy, enriching adventure!

We loved Josselin,one of the nicest places we have visited. The castle is in great condition with lovely grounds. Unless you have a guide you cannot visit all of it

Have visited a couple of times, gardens are beautiful and views over the canal are fantastic.

What a lovely little town and castle, as well as gardens. Situated on the Nantes-Brest Canal in Brittany, it is the home of the Dukes of Rohan. Most of the grounds are open to the public, as well as the first floor of the Chateau and part of the basement. A bust by Rodin is in one room and one of the Dukes astride a horse in another (a prep work for a statue now in the Castle of Suscinio). The village of Josselin seems to wrap itself around the Chateau and is a lovely stroll too.

Lovely chateau to visit. Also a lovely village. A must visit.

Beautiful location and town with great markets, restaurants and parking options

Lovely castle and grounds to visit! We came as a family in the summer, the castle and house has plenty to look at and see, with activities for the kids. Everything is well kept/restored to a high quality. The grounds offer lots of private paths and things to explore. Perfect places for a picnic. Highly recommended!

Located well but had a very poor experience here. Nothing individually awful but rather a series of small slights and a lack of empathy or service. Arrived in the morning of a Saturday, with plans to attend a wedding that afternoon. We asked whether an early check in before 3pm was possible and were told categorically no. We then asked whether there was a room or space we could use for my wife to get ready, and were told the hallway mirror and toilet are available to us if we'd like. Checked in to find the room (a "standard" room) was very small, as was the bathroom. Clearly a larger room had been split into two small ones. The room was a little larger than the bed, which is a narrow double of 160cm, and had room to walk around all sides. The bathroom has a standing shower and toilet, with room for one person to realistically get ready. We were disappointed to find that the adjustable shower head was broken and would not stay in position, though it did provide water fine when held in the hand. The cup in the room was cracked. Also we could not find an iron to prepare our clothes. Notably the doors are not self locking so care should be taken to check the door before leaving, as well as when sleeping at night if that is a concern. It was an unusually hot and humid summer day, and the rooms are not air conditioned. Not a problem itself, but we asked for a fan and were told "we do not have fans for the standard rooms". Instead we left for the wedding steeped in sweat. After one night we decided to forgo the second night we had booked and move to another property. The hotel itself is well-located and the ornamental decor is charming and quaint (with a view of the castle rampart), however this is simply not enough to justify the €100 per night price. Each of the points above alone would be a small nuisance, but together made us feel like we were unwanted house guests rather than paying customers.

Super charming hotel with good location and good service! Smaller rooms are cheaper and have lots of storage space and closets. Breakfast was delicious.

Our room was so comfortable that we had the best night's sleep of our trip. Staff were friendly and very helpful, thank you! Red riding hood and Harry potter also enjoyed they're stay ;)

Very friendly, clean, silent and typical French hotel,in the nice part of the old town of Vannes, love IT!!!

Quaint, sweet, well appointed and well run!!

(Translated by Google) Delighted to arrive at reception to learn that our reservation (made via a hotel reservation site) had been canceled because there would have been a difference of 9 (NINE) euros between the price paid and the price expected by the hotel for the night reserved. Wouldn't it be better to at least contact the customer before canceling? (Original) Ravi d'arriver à la réception pour apprendre que notre réservation (faite via un site de réservation d'hôtels) avait été annulée car il y aurait eu une différence de 9 (NEUF) euros entre le prix payé et le prix attendu par l'hôtel pour la nuit réservée. Ne serait-il pas préférable d'au moins contacter le client avant d'annuler?

(Translated by Google) Very charming hotel, located right in the city center on the shopping streets. The room has a pleasant view of the ramparts. (Original) Hôtel très charmant, situé en plein centre ville dans les rues commerçantes. La vue de la chambre sur les remparts est agréable.

A huge, well-restored castle located about 1/2 hour south of Vannes. Many rooms, activities for kids, and a few interesting displays (fancy crossbows, old tiles) and a few "cheesy" ones like "the Holy Grail." I don't get the point of the hanging figures in one dark room. Many visitors may not be that knowledgeable about Arthurian legend, so explaining this to adults would be great (maybe you did in French?) Nearly every display or sign is in French--it gets tiring to use Google translate for 2 hours. Multi-cultural signage definitely needed. Navigation was a bit confusing in a few places too. We got turned around several times. That said, exploring the nooks & crannies was pretty cool. The place would be even better with a few period gardens & a cafe (as well as more toilets). This place was absolutely astonishing in it's room size. I've been inside many castles & have never seen anything like it. Even the circular, tower stairs are wide and tall. Having a wet moat is pretty cool too. Overall, a wonderful place to visit.

Well preserved castle that used to be home to the ducs of Brittany. In perfect conditions, it's still undergoing renovation works to open all currently closed grounds. Excellent activity for kids and adults. A lot of hike trails start around the castle, ideal for birdwatching.

Beautiful place to visit, fun for all the family as they have medieval clothes to dress up in and games to play. Plenty to see both inside and out.

Lovely Château. Good parking and gift shop. Great theme throughout the Château linked to King Arthur, knights and the round table. Very scenic. Fabulous Crepes restaurant down the road - well worth a visit.

Amazing castle with good audio guide & views of sourandings. Out of the castle is a playground for children with themes from the time castle was built. Close by is also a wonderful beach to enjoy. We really enjoyed it!

Great castle-old style. Free for small children, free parking, good toilet facilities and a cafe that sells local beer! Worth a trip. Full of history for those who want it.

Nice castle to visit with kids and good beach nearby. Just a bit too touristy and made for children.

Great and lovely presentation. I won't forget what I got in my hand. Thank you for my lovely friend Stéphanie to show me there. .. Channi from Thailand 😍😊

Better than expected, was really interesting and immersive experience, the English translation was really good. Whole family loved it. Didn't get a ticket by email when I booked online but I had the payment confirmation I used at the desk.

A very immersive experience that teaches you the interesting lore and legends of the area. Translation audio devices are available, don't forget to ask for yours before you go in. High quality experience that I would come back to again.

Excellent animation about the forest and the myth of Brocéliande. The way the spectator goes through is very well organised and it is suitable for both adults and children. The surroundings are magnificent and the staff is welcoming. Also, it is accessible for people with disability or difficulty to stand/walk !

A mythical spot that contains numerous shops to perk your interest and tempt the magical or skeptical side. Some shops are commercial while others are original containing natural items or unique trinkets. At the end of the road is the tourist spot for a tour and legend of the forest. This tour is recommended and gives you great information on the history of the forest before you set out and explore it on your own Like if you agree ✍️

Really more for children than adults but very well executed with a great deal of imagination.

The strength of the forest is noticeable! The city holds the magic and nurture medieval tales!

Very nice zoo, the enclosures are huge compared to other zoos. Great forest en parks which makes it pleasant even when visiting in summer. It’s not huge but you can easily spend a whole day exploring. There is also a great trampoline park in the forest which is fantastic, don’t miss it. It’s located somewhat at the outer edge of the park.

This was a really good visit. We went with some family visiting from the UK, and their kids. The bird show was really good...that animals were roaming the park was really nice. No big carnivores here but rhinos and hippos. The penguins were fun. The playpark was excellent as well as the petting zoo. Food on site was really nice.

The park is large enough to spend a good few hours there. It has many different species of animals and is laid out in a natural looking, environmentally sympathetic way. The enclosures are very open in appearance, allowing you to feel close to the animals. Indeed, some (especially the wallabies) pretty much roam free and can be approached and fed (with the popcorn sold at the entrance). For kids especially there is a small petting zoo where you can feed goats, and the ""Parcabout" - a gigantic overhead rope/netting walkway that you can walk/run/jump/bounce along inside whilst suspended 30odd feet in the air. Great fun! This place is well worth a visit. Put aside a few hours to enjoy it fully. **Came back, 3 years later, and it is still a brilliant day out :-)

Coming from the UK, I can honestly say this is one of the best zoos I’ve ever visited. It truly deserves all the praise it already gets—and more! We visited just after the French school holidays, which meant the park felt almost empty. Having the place practically to ourselves was an amazing bonus. On arrival, you can buy popcorn at the ticket office for around €2.50, which you can use to feed certain animals throughout the park. This was a fun and unique touch. What really sets this zoo apart is how many animals are free-roaming. It doesn’t feel like you’re just walking through enclosures—it feels like you’re genuinely interacting with nature. That’s something I’ve rarely experienced elsewhere. If I had to point out one downside, it would be the restaurant. For a family of five, it cost around €80 (without drinks), and I felt the portions were on the smaller side. Still, this is only a minor issue compared to the overall experience. The children’s playpark at the end was another unexpected highlight. Both kids and adults can enjoy it, which added even more value to the visit. Overall, I can’t fault this zoo. Despite the pricey restaurant, it’s an easy 5/5 from me. I truly hope I get the chance to visit again one day!

Incredible wildlife park. Recent improvements and expansions have made the zoo even better. The animals are well cared for and live in huge natural enclosures. Lots to do for children and a great range of catering. The bird show is not to be missed. Go watch it twice. It's that good.

Really enjoyed visiting here. The zoo is kept meticulously. It is easily the cleanest and best-maintained zoo I've been to. I did find the galettes a bit expensive though, I didn't look into whether there were pic nic areas or not. The penguin enclosure was super-clean, and the underwater viewing was great. The zoo has a philosophy that some animals are relatively free to roam, which is nice. There were loads of wallabies about - many of them with children in their pouches.

This is not a negative review The park facilities the animals the staff are absolutely wonderful. To be able to sit down and have a meal have a drink watching giraffes is it wonderful experience to stand and have a variety of birds flying over your head virtually touching your hat was magnificent. To have Wallabies,fish, llamas in fact allsorts of creatures eating popcorn out of your hand is an experience that we have never had before. To be able to bring your own packed lunch wine and then sit outside in the park in a very well-kept very spacious picnic area was brilliant however,on arrival to the park things are a little disjointed the fact that a family ticket can only be purchased online as a tourist how would you know?(hence the 3stars) again the buying of popcorn for some reason yesterday you could only book the popcorn online which is the only food at the park allows you to feed the animals and with it being such a tactile environment you want to be able to. As advice, book your family tickets and popcorn online in advance as it is cheaper then relax and enjoy a wonderful experience

A perfect activity for a wet and windy day. The aquarium is well stocked and has many different species with information. Of course there are many small things to see but for impact, the highlights are the two giant tanks where you can sit and watch sharks, rays and turtles. The 360 degree immersion experience is amazing - we did it twice! The price reflects the care they take as an aquarium. We would recommend this. Note - any time over three hours and the car park is charged… a lot! Enjoy!

It’s a nice oceanarium for its size! You can enjoy the penguins, sharks, fish, corals, etc. There are some educational corners for kids. Also the places to watch sharks and mantas was impressive, like a movie theater screen! In general you will need 1-2 hours there. You can also see feeding of animals and fish at different times

Very well done. Interesting and informative. Well worth visiting and experiencing the under sea world. Great for kids.

Lovely outing for kids and adults; We enjoyed the new immersing show

Fantastic place, the layout is brilliant and easy to navigate, ensuring you get the best views of the creatures. Lots of information on the animals and how the ocearium is supporting conservation efforts. A great range of sealife to see - I really could have stayed here all day!! The only small downside is that there is no cafe, or even a vending machine to get a drink or snack, we had travelled just over an hour to the ocearium and could have done with a drink at least. We visited as an extended family ranging in age from 15 - 79 and every one of us loved it.

This Aquarium is absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully designed. All the displays are very colorful and lit up perfectly for viewing. They also have soothing music playing in the background as you watch the different sea life gracefully swimming about. They have a shark, stingray and penguin area. There are stations for kids to interact and play with to keep them busy as they move about the aquarium. We visited on a rainy weekday so there were no crowds to deal with and you could easily move about the aquarium. Lastly, they have a great gift shop where you can purchase nice gifts to take back with you. If you are visiting in and around Le Croisic France, I highly-recommend this aquarium.

English review. This Aquarium is well worth the visit. Wonderful displays engaging information. Amazing variety of habitats simulated. All very well done!

Love the experience. Amazing place. Most of presentations are in French. You can use app to read all info online. Would suggest more English tours through the week. One on Monday evening doesn’t suit all visitors on different days.

Fantastic experience at Machine de l'île, Nantes. The ticketing system is complex but let's you pay for what you want to see - the three options are: The Elephant, The Gallery (with a range of mechanical animals to watch and some you can participate in) and the Carousel - each requires a separate booking and ticket, however the latter are both included in the Nantes pass whi h is good value for money. The Elephant was fun, though busy and you can get a better view from the ground of the elephant itself. The Gallery was excellent, again quite busy but you get to see demonstrations of 5 or 6 machines. The Carousel was better than I expected as each object has different functions that allow you to move them wh ih was fun. One word of warning, only download the tickets once as any subsequent downloads cancels the last ticket rather than duplicating it which meant I ended up in a mess with multiple tickets. You can also get tickets and opies of digital tickets from the ticket office. There's an outdoor cafe on site and a lovely Spanish restaurant adjacent.

This was on my "bucket list". It was amazing. Total of €30 to visit the Elephant, Carousel and Warehouse. You can see the Elephant walking around without paying if you don't want to pay to ride it. Worth knowing that parts of the carousel ride are wheelchair friendly too. It took us from 11am to 4pm ( with a break for lunchtime closure 12-2), to see everything.

I found this a slightly bizarre experience, maybe best suited to children and anyone interested in beautiful carvings/mechanics.... but the mechanical animals were genuinely impressive and the people doing the tour were very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The highlight for me was the mechanical elephant, which you don't have to pay to watch.

I liked the fact that this building had been renovated for such an interesting and, above all, interactive project. Fortunately, there was an English-speaking guide available. During the visit we were able to touch some of the machines ourselves and activate them, making the whole thing much more fun. It was also nice to be able to access the area where these machines are actually built, so that everyone can understand the hard engineering work that goes into them.

The gallery is extremely disappointing. You pay 12 euros to watch the staff having fun with the animatronics. You'll be at 10m of distance (if lucky) and with 100 people around. Maybe, maybe you're lucky enough to be selected to "pilot" some machine (actually is managed by the staff) The elephant ride is worth its price though

Staff spoke English so was able to buy ticket and find way around. Lots of machines to look at and shown working by staff. Spent a few hours here and enjoyed it but not a whole days event. Reasonably priced. Parked our vw camper in multistory over the road no problem.

Very well worth going. The chateau is very pretty, courtyard is big and there is plenty of space for sitting down and relax. The museum itself is top notch designed and very easy to walk around with clear signs and displays are nicely categorized. Combining with different ways of presenting: videos, games, 3D virtual screens, cartoon story telling, many other ways of references. Great for kids to visit. One of the best museums to visit, I didn’t feel bored at all during the 2 hours. The content of the museum is very educational, you get a full picture of the history of Nantes. And it’s not afraid of showing the “ugly” part of the history about salve trading. Some rare findings about WWII as well.

If Nantes, the Chateau is a must, really good location. Fantastic that you can walk around the outside/ramparts for free. It is amazing and such a nice vibe when walking around here.

Had a very quick visit. You even can go through the gates for free and make some pictures. Part of the so called 'Green Line'. If you want more you can pay to go inside the castle itself

A great visit. Walked the ramparts and the moat for free. Information boards throughout giving an insight into the history of each area. Amazing views of the city and surrounding areas. There's secure bike parking,a cafe and toilets. Well worth a visit.

Very interesting museum about the history of Nantes and the area. Very modern and accessible with lifts to every exhibition room and even to the walls around! Highly recommended to visit it if you are in the area.

Really nice castle to look at and a very interesting walk around the museum. Nice gift shop.

Wonderful place almost in the center of Nantes. And what is good, that this château isn't far from the railway station. So, if you have a little bit time before your train, spend it here in château 😉

I love this park . It is Tranquil and beautiful . The park is one of the best I’ve been to . It has a magnificent Deer statue, lots of ducks , a lake with an interesting fountain and even a little area with some goats . It also has some very quirky big benches , which made me chuckle . It is only a stones throw from the main station as well , so is perfect to visit while waiting for a train.

The scenery is beautiful and expansive, with interesting sights everywhere you look. It’s truly a must-visit. The variety of plant species is impressive — and discovering a special ‘Taiwan section’ was especially moving.

A truly beautiful and tranquil spot right in the heart of Nantes. The Botanical Garden is the perfect escape from the summer heat, with plenty of shaded areas under tall trees and lush greenery. Everything is very well looked after, clean and organized

This is a beautiful park, easily accessible from the center city, and nearby to many other attractions. Even in the middle of a busy weekday, the park was relatively quiet, and it was easy to find shaded areas to sit on a bench and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Beautiful garden near center of Nantes, excellent maintained and has a great range of different flowers and trees, as well as artistic objects. Many benches to sit and enjoy the scenery. Free entrance.

Really nice walk out to the location from the city centre. Well worth it, very peaceful park with a fair few different things to see.

A beautiful, free garden with a large variety of flora. You can't sit on the grass but there are benches. There is also a cafe and play areas for children

We were staying in the campsite next door so didn’t need to queue / park etc. An amazing place, fully recommend. Our children are 11 and 13 years old. We loved the waterpark, its massive and easily absorbs all the people. We really enjoyed the treetop / high wire adventures (accrobranche) too - plenty of difficulty levels to suit the whole family. Price was reasonable too, we used the multipack purchase.

It's been one of the best places to come to for the last 12+ years, today has been busiest we have ever seen it, but the flow continues with short waits on the training routes… staff all round running and helping all the while smiling , really amazing place, the kids love it… so proud of how this place has grown

Very impressed. Free parking with overflows also. Buy in advance to avoud queue at the reception. We did treetop parkour and water inflatables. The parkour has such range, from small kids a meter or so up to very difficult for 15yrs plus maybe. Probably 20 or so different routes for all abilities and confidence. Good numbers of staff to address problems as they happened, and plenty of zip lines across the lakes. The routes can take a while, Red 5 was 50 minutes for us - we did 3 routes in almost 3 hours at senior levels. Didn't try Juniors. The water park was huge and challenging but soon got my sea legs and was jumping, wobbling and sliding as appropriate. Hour was enough for me and glad of the deal for 2 activities. Best of all, not fighting off insects all day and by its nature, a bit shady most of the day. May go back again on this holiday.

France’s hidden gem! An incredible day out which was so good we went twice. Unlimited aerial courses for all ages and abilities. Our 2 boys of 10 & 14 loved it. Each of the colours with a good increase in difficulty. The Red course was a great test for this fairly out of shape 44 year old 😁. So many other activities available too. The ‘Escape Room’ was great fun too. I’d give it 7 stars if I could.

Nice park. A lot to do. Safety first. Everything is clean. Nice park to climb.

We visited today - two adults, an 11 and a 9 year old - and selected the acquapark followed by the climbing course. It was a hot day and the park was busy. According, I was prepared for long wait times and grumpy staff and customers. I needn’t have worried - the staff were all impeccably polite, competent and helpful - a real credit to the espirit de corps of the team at the park. Bravo. The only downside was that we only scratched the surface of the climbing options. We’ll have to return to continue the experience. Thoroughly enjoyable. 👏👏

Absolutely amazing, highly recommended. Excellent value for money can spend the whole day here. So much to do children aged 8,10,13 and 15 loved it as did the adults!

Went to do the Dino and Pirate adventure, would recommend buying tickets two days before you go to get the discount but still worth the full price. Dinos and pirates took 1-2 hours each depending on how fast you want to do it. Pirates was more games involved where dinos was more quiz like. Kids loved both. Playground leaves a lot to be desired but worth the trip up. Western city was closed when we were there so no idea how that it set up.

We had a fantastic family day out here today. We went with our 9 and 6 year old who throughly enjoyed themselves. We did all 4 adventures and both our children were fine in the haunted house. I was incredibly impressed with the level of effort put into each task whether it was each of the rooms in the haunted house of the riddles to solve on the Dino trail. We arrived at 10am and left at 4pm but could have stayed later. It exceeded all expectations and was definitely worth the money. The medals for completing each adventure went down very well with our children as well. Thank you so much for a brilliant day. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant. Picnic benches on site for you to bring yours. Pirate trail was brilliant and kept three kids under 7 busy. Dino trail was almost as good. We were 4 hours there and kids got reqards after completing both tasks. We'll worth the trip , time and money.

We really enjoyed our visit, stopping off for a few hours detour between Nantes and La Rochelle. We did the one trail option ( we opted for dinosaurs) which was perfect for us with the time we wanted to spend there. The staff were really friendly and explained the trails in English which was helpful. I really liked the fact that the puzzles are suitable for all ages ranges with my 3 year old being able to take part easily too but still interesting for us too. My daughter is disabled but it was accessible for her too and she enjoyed pushing the large buttons which were at the height of her buggy. We also ate in the snack bar which I thought was fine and not too expensive considering we were a captive audience. Would definitely return to do more trails if we were in the area.

The chateau itself is interesting and full of lovely decor, there is a lot of pretty garden to see with my favourite being the lily pad pond. I leave such negative review because the male peacocks conditions concerned me. I've owned peacocks myself for 7 years, including hatching them and raising them. They have 13 acres of land to roam, this friendly peacock has a small enclosure with no room to roost up high. I hope the peacock is released during off peak times. There is so much land for this peacock and If it’s down to the peacock being overly friendly and potentially nipping at kids then perhaps he should be relocated. I was also charged €14.40 for 2 magnums and 2 cans of juice which is extortionate. A lot of the land is restricted because of wristband colours, we truthfully ignored one of them because the beautiful lily pad pond was behind this point, I was not interested in the dinosaur exhibit just the pond so beware if you want to explore all areas a higher paying price for the right wristbands might be needed

Great day out for kids 3 - 12 years approx. We only did the pirates treasure hunt, but there are 3 other activities if you want to spend the whole day there. Some very good points about this place: 1) it's not expensive 2) you can bring your own picnic (however, there are snacks, drinks and ice cream available on site too) 3) you can choose to purchase packages from 1 to 4 activities according to what your children are able for and how long you plan to be visit. The pirates treasure hunt was about 2 hours altogether.

Absolutely brilliant. Kids (7+6 boys) loved it, particularly the murder in the chateau adventure and the pirate trail. Spent 3.5hrs doing the chateau, pirate and Dino adventures. A great experience and a beautiful location

It has been an unforgettable experience. The shows we attended were of great quality, including the costumes and staging. I must point out that it seemed to me that the sound was playback rather than live, and the simultaneous translation was slightly out of sync in some shows. Of course, it’s impossible to see everything in just one day, but even so, it’s well worth the visit — highly recommended for the whole family.

Love this park. As a family went have been visiting since 1989. We have seen so many changes over the years. It never ceases to amaze us every visit. We have a season pass as we now live in the area, so far this season we have been every week,our family of 4 and their families are avid Puy du fou fans,the grandchildren absolutely love it!. Great options for food,coffee and snacks. Gift shops well stocked with various memorabilia and various artisan shops in the medival and viking villages. Fun for all the family and all ages with not a ride in sight! A wonderful way to immerse yourself in french history and appreciate the performers enthusiasm in doing what they obviously love doing. The cinecine is something else,a must see,indescribable....see for yourself.

As you will need to walk around and spend time to line up, a detailed plan is very necessary in order to finish all the programs. Every shows are giving surprises to the audience. Very impressive. Bravo 🎉

This place was incredible, we booked last minute not knowing what to expect and it did not disappoint. A lot of the shows are quite close together so we did have to run to catch them but there are hotels so you could stay for 2 days and see all the shows in good time. As a theme park it is a little pricey but this was to be expected. Make sure you take some headphones so you can translate the shows!

What a place! A must do if you're looking for a unique experience with a tint of French history across the time. The well equipped parc is huge, so make sure that you wear comfy shoes! Booking in advance is a must, and depending on the time of the year you'll be visiting Le Puy du Fou, you might face waiting queues before attending the most rated shows... I strongly suggest that you download the apps, that will help you to organise your visit. We managed to watch the best shows, keeping us time to visit the parc, the villages replicas and indulge ourselves at some of the restaurants as well. Special thanks to all the dedicated staff, you are doing a great job! We had a great stay and we'll come back for sure.

If you don’t speak French bear in mind you will be some what left in the dark here outside of the shows. None of the signage show any English and the shows are obviously in French but you can use the live translation if you’ve got the app. The shows however are outstanding even if you don’t know what’s being said very impressive indeed. Worth the visit.

We spent a few days at Puy du Fou and were absolutely blown away by the experience. The quality of the shows, both indoor and outdoor, is phenomenal. I had visited the park as a child about 20 years ago and was already impressed back then, but what it has become today is on an entirely different level. The scale and sophistication of the productions are unlike anything else. From massive sets to special effects that leave you wondering how it's even possible, every show is a true spectacle. The immersive experiences are just as unforgettable and add another layer to the journey through time. The scheduling of the shows is incredibly well thought out. We barely waited more than 15 or 20 minutes between each performance. Visiting just before the high season probably helped, but still, the whole day flowed smoothly without feeling rushed or overcrowded. Some historical events are presented with a certain angle, but that’s part of the park’s narrative style. It doesn’t take away from the fact that this is great entertainment at its finest. We truly loved our stay and would recommend Puy du Fou to anyone looking for unique and breathtaking live entertainment.

Fantastic Medieval Tower The tour Saint-Nicolas is beautiful and very impressive defensively. You can see how it could have been a way to keep the enemy out of the harbour and would have scared of potential invaders. Today it is a great place to walk to and take a stroll around this historical building. It is an amazing sight and also has lots of amenities around. Highly recommended visit!

This whole area is actually very pretty and depending on the time you pass there it can look very different and the photos are very different.

Sit and enjoy around the sea view at this place

The Saint Nicolas Tower is one of the three medieval towers guarding the harbor. For €9.50 you can visit all three towers. Definitely recommended.

It's free to get in if you are under 26. You can climb up the stairs up to the top and get a beautiful view of the Vieux Port of La Rochelle.

Very well preserved, great access to explore in your own time. A little pricey.

Beautiful tower, a symbol of La Rochelle! Is very impressive to see it when you arrive in the city.

Top tip for visiting this aquarium - book your tickets in advance online otherwise you will queue for ages to buy tickets only to be given a later time slot to return! Once inside, the aquarium is full of amazing tanks full of fish and other sea life. The tanks are well labelled in both French and English and you can follow the numbered tanks around the aquarium so that you don’t miss anything. We visited on a Monday during summer school holidays - the aquarium was really busy, but you still get to see everything.

A wonderful and informative aquarium, well maintained and clean. Highlight was the sharks of course, but had lots to see and examine. Reasonable priced too, especially if you're from the UK where aquariums are prohibitively expensive. One other thing to note, it is all accessible for pushchairs, prams and wheelchairs.

There's a lot to see hear, from the jellyfish at the entrance to the sharks at the end and endless fish in between. It's divided into different areas, Mediterranean, Carribbean and tropical for some and the tour flows well. It was quiet when I visited, but can get very busy, so I would recommend choosing a quieter time.

Practical side: Practically speaking, it was a mess. We had bought our tickets online, thinking it would save us time. Our slot was at 11:00, so we joined the line early since we didn’t know how long it would take. By 10:45 we reached the staff member at the entrance, but he told us we were too early and had to leave the line. Just five minutes later, people with 11:00 tickets were allowed in! When we rejoined, the line had tripled in length. So instead of saving time, we ended up waiting much longer. They even split the line to “speed things up,” which actually delayed us even more. On top of that, special discounts (for students, people with disabilities, etc.) weren’t available when booking online. The visit: As for the visit itself, it was one of the dullest aquaria I’ve ever seen. First of all, it was extremely crowded – surprising for a Thursday in late August – to the point where it felt claustrophobic and we often couldn’t even see the tanks. We walked through everything in about half an hour. Some fish were kept in very small tanks, with no mention anywhere about animal welfare or what the aquarium does to prevent harm. Many tanks just looked artificial, with fish placed in unnatural settings. There was also no clear storyline or structure. In other aquariums you often see a logical build-up (from shallow to deep water, or small to large species) but here it was just one similar-looking room after another: blue walls and a few glass tanks. There were no interactive elements, no feeding demonstrations, and no educational content about pollution, climate change, or conservation – all things you’d expect nowadays. For that, paying €18.50 is way overpriced.

Too many tickets sold per time slot. Our slot said 150 tickets left so we thought it would be quiet, instead met with massive queues, crowds and stressful experience.

Very amusing, especially for kids. We went on a rather quite time of the month, so we h didnt have to wait in line and the aquarium wasn't very busy. Very lovely experience, I'd go there again!

Huge aquarium. Good time for kids. The map of the aquarium is not clear and no signs inside the aquarium. Still worth the visit

Very warm welcome, friendly staff, small birthday gift, everything was perfect and professional. Even our dog received a personalised welcome. The only downside was that the swimming pool was out of service, which was a shame given the scorching temperatures. We forgive them, as it was a technical problem. We highly recommend this establishment.

Having had to postpone our original visit in August due to the hôtels AC failing, we were quite looking forward to this trip. Being a Gold card holder we were hoping for a room upgrade, but as per normal it was not forthcoming. No room at the inn. We were well received by reception upon our arrival and given a good corner room, with a couple of windows to view the port... if you strained for a look from one side of one window or perhaps stood on a chair for the other, furniture placement prevented an easy view. The room was pretty well appointed and comforting with a very pleasant bathroom. We ate one night in the restaurant, of which the fare was good and pleasing. If I have a gripe it would be concerning the 'welcome drink', during the past 12 months we have stayed at 5 Mercure, 2 Mgallery and a Novotel, on all occasions two drinks were offered as a couple, but not here, you get one and pay for you partners. After everything, a good stay and a recommended hôtel

Excellent spacious hotel in great riverside location with lots of green space. Friendly service and (these days very important) good air conditioning.

Lovely hotel, tastefully decorated and well maintained. Staff extremely pleasant and attentive. Family room an excellent size and well equipped. Great choice and quality of food and drinks for breakfast.

Very nice room, location and overall facilities. Very kind staff and always available and in a great mood. The highlight of my stay was on the arrival day. I've checked in the evening without having dinner and very tired. The receptionist could "read my face" and immediately asked me if i wanted to have dinner on Mercure restaurant, even though it closes at 22h.

Exceptional , staff a real crisis to the business would definitely book here again keep it up 🥰❤️

We paid 200 € for the Standard room and that was much too expensive for this hotel. The room is rather small, the furniture already a little used and there were stains on the carpet. The service was alright but not what you would expect in this price category. However, if you get a better price (around 120€), this is a good hotel. And the breakfast was great (a lot of homemade things and great variety).

Beautoful ship, too bad they were fixing it when we came so we couldn't see the whole of it. Also, everything is in French - no English translation

Disappointing! No boat! At least not that we could see. Lots of interesting sub-museums each with own entry fee > €10 Made the mistake of arriving and looking at the town first with cafe in lovely square only to find that the museums were all closing in half an hour for a 2 hour lunch! Decided to go the Leclerc and go back to the caravan. Was so good had lunch in the supermarket if that isn’t sad! Great sandwich beer and wine. Rochefort - tick!!

We had a wander round in the mid-afternoon, it was great to see a tall ship that had clearly been lovingly reconstructed. Unfortunately, partly due to the size of our group, the cost of guided tours were a little more than we were willing to stomach. However, just the setting it's in and the surrounding area is well worth a look.

Stunning place. The Versailles of the maritime world. So glad we made the effort to visit. The city is small and delightful. A place for a culture fix for sure.

Rochefort surprised me as a so historical town. At each street corner an old place reminds you Lafayette, Napoleon or other war part of French naval history. The Hermione is a so large vessel, impressive with the masts, the inside deck, .... all is so fantastic a must see... and what is you are lucky to see her taking the see

An amazing place to visit, plenty to do and see and explore. Take your time and stay a whole day to explore it.

Beautiful boat, what a pity that they don't have English information. Also, they could perhaps change the tents and have some permanent building. The temperature in the tents was unbearable.

What a beautiful place ! It’s quiet it’s gorgeous ! You can stay there as long as you wish to pray and feel the energy

Beautiful church both inside and out. Was blown away by the winds around the church so I went inside for some relief. Beautiful chanting music playing and calm, very nice.

very beautiful, simple church on a promontory. The village also is lovely to walk through

Amazing building,the weather gives different perspectives.

I can't wait to come back here. Is very beautyful.

Certainly a visit worth making walk along the narrow lanes and visit the old church shops and cafes. Plenty of parking but one has to pay

Dog friendly. Beautiful church on a remote promontory. Ideal to sit on a nearby bench and have a picnic.

An amazing Roman arena tucked away in the suburbs of Saintes. You can walk all around the ruins, including into the arena itself. There are information sheets available in English at the ticket office. There is limited on site parking but this wasn't a problem when we visited.

If you are visiting Saintes then would recommend making the effort to visit. There is some parking near the entrance but there is a public car park at the church near by but it’s a bit of a walk on a hot day and hilly. The facilities are very good.

A fascinating glimpse into Roman history! The amphitheatre is beautifully preserved, with plenty of space to wander. Peaceful surroundings and informative signs.

Well worth seeing. Can walk around the perimeter and look down on it without having to pay entry fee.

Roman amphitheatre well worth a visit. Partly reconstructed, giving you a good sense of what it looked like.

Well worth a look. Your 5 euro ticket also gets you into 3 other local museum's which I unfortunately did not have time to visit. They give you an interpretive sheet to help you understand what you're seeing. It gives you the chills to think you're standing where Agrippa once stood.

The Gallo-Roman amphitheatre of Saintes is an amazing remnant of our long ago past. We rented the audio guides (available in English and French) and spent a fascinating 45 minutes immersing ourselves in history and architecture. Don't miss the photo exhibition on the outer wall; just follow the green line around to the back of the Accueil building. It shows photos of all the phases of the amphitheatre for the last 200 or 300 years. There is an ingenious picnic table to enable someone in a wheelchair to pull up under the top and enjoy a meal at a table. Brilliant idea.

The “anniversary visit” is a 1.5-hour marketing tour where you’re walked through their premises (eg I can watch an ad with Usher on my own) with a large group and no photos allowed 🙄 At the end, you get just a cocktail, and not even a tasting of their actual cognac. I would recommend Martell just 5 minutes away, they have much better explanatory tour and friendlier customer service.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and ready to answer all our questions. The tour was slick and the tasting at the end was great (nice cocktail). Not being a cognac drinker I found it an informative experience. A nice small group.

One of a kind experience. We took the private tour with the private lunch and it was absolutely lovely and beautiful. A very special experience with lots of history, love and great people.

Thomas was an excellent guide. He made the experience very fun, educational and unforgettable. We came for my brothers birthday, and had the best time! Thank you for an incredible experience Thomas, and the beautiful photos! My brother and I had a great time! :)

Our Opulence Tour was an incredible experience that far exceeded our expectations. Our host/guide, Romane, was passionate and extremely informative. Undoubtedly the highlight was XO pairings.

300 th anniversary tour in English. Covering the history of the distillery House, family and the Remy Martin brand name rather than the process of the cognac production . Lasted 1hr 45 mins.Interesting talk and tour broken up with a few films. Tasting of the VSOP and XO with salty and sweet accompaniment.

Thomas gave an excellent tour. His enthusiasm and passion for Remy Martin made his presentation extraordinary.

My experience here was not one of the best. In the complex I had a nice day of fun and relax, but the structure needs to be revisited. First of all, we bought a ticket with access to the two areas but once inside nobody was checking and anyone could have access to both areas, Many points need to be cleaned because there is mold, And lastly, we didn't even have the time to take a last shower since the workers at 6:30 precise were just pushing us out while we were changing.

What a huge disappointment. I lost my bathing suit and expected a great boutique. They had one size and blamed it on a late delivery of an order, having driven a long way, cat and dog in a camping car I negotiated 7.50e for just a shower. They wouldn’t allow me to even dry my hair downstairs. Sharp screws sticking out in the disabled shower, cubicles and sink area filthy, it was worse than some dirty old council pool. Excuses for a busy day when I asked if there’s no cleaner. Being a retired swim teacher I’ve worked in some nasty establishments, this was an absolute disappointment, the pool I can’t talk about but clearly over priced needs à refurb, à clean and a safety check

Very expensive for what's offered. Certain facilities were out of order. Competitive prices in comparison to Euro Disney, except for the awesome attraction rides.

Lovely place to spend a great day on the swimming pool. Great zone with waves. There is also an slide thats very enjoyable. Will repeat for sure. very clean . 10/10

Loved the place, clean, friendly staff, the water is warm and it is safe for the little ones. The only negative thing I found was that there was not enough food available, the restaurant was all reserved and the sandwich place only had a few sandwiches left but nothing small for children except sweets. I highly recommend and would go again.

Great for families, indoor and outdoor pool. Plenty of parking

Not really fantastic... more of a swimming complex...
