An incredible, well-preserved piece of history and a truly memorable experience. The tour lasts over three hours, walking through bunkers, tunnels, and open-air remains while learning about World War history. It’s fascinating to stand inside structures built so many decades ago — even before our great-great-great-grandparents were born! At the start, they give you an audio guide device that vibrates and pops up information whenever you reach a landmark;I loved that feature. The site is very well-organized, and everything is clearly explained. It’s also amazing to stand by the sea during the tour and imagine what it must have been like back then. I definitely recommend packing some snacks and lots of water or drinks, because it’s a long walk and you’ll be tired by the end. Wear comfortable shoes (open or closed), as there’s quite a bit of walking involved. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Belgian coast and interested in history.

All we knew about WW1 and WW2 was from history books and some movies. Being here , we understood more about them. We spent about 3 hours inside, and afterwards we took a walk on the beach. Very cheap entry tickets and a lot to see.

staff was very friendly and welcoming. It took us 3+ hours to finish the tour so make sure to come early! A multimedia guide is incl. in the ticket price and at important stops are more information available for you to read.

Came here in Oostende for holidays, and I was met with this amazing WW1/WW2 Museum. I decided to visit it with my friends and family since I love to learn everything related to WW1 and WW2, and I was not disappointed. The entry is relatively cheap for so much you can explore. We got told that a visit would take 2 hours, but we ended up exploring it for about 3 hours! You’re given a map with a route that follows a certain route. It leads you to explore the WW1 route first and then the WW2 route. You’re also given a device (a sort of phone) which is probably the most useful thing i’ve seen in a museum so far. It offers various things: - Audios: In the WW2 route, there are numbers marked on some doors where you can listen to information about that certain part -Location based information: It has some sort of tracker where, when you pass a certain area, it pops up images, maps, small videos and more information about that certain area. Furthermore, the organisation, preservation and info boards are very good. It makes reading, as well as learning, much more enjoyable. There are some areas in bunkers/underground routes, where you’re met with realistic war sounds, such as airplanes flying, bombs exploding and gunshots that give you that eerie experience of what soldiers had to endure day by day. Finally, there are some TVs with small videos that explain certain events (How people survived during bombings, how the germans used their fortifications to defend the coast, how they used math to calculate the distance of the enemy’s ship, etc..) Overall, it was a pleasant experience. As someone who loves everything about WW1/WW2, this museum is absolutely amazing and well explained. Totally recommend to take a moment to visit it and learn what the Belgian coast had to endure, as well as what happened in WW1/WW2 in general. Fantastic, will come here one day with more friends and family again!

Fantastic open air museum about the German fortifications along the Atlantic coast in Word Wars I and II. The exihibition is extremely well done, with replicas and original pieces that not only show the military aspects of the fortifications but also the everyday life of both soldiers and local citizens. We went with two kids (7 and 10) and despite the gloomy topics, the exhibition is also suited for kids, with a map and a quiz for kids to explore the area. Highly recommended!

Absolutely outstanding place to visit Excellent value for money Expect a good few hours walking as it's massive,

Good and big museum. Good to spend 1 hour or 3+ if listening in details. Well planned route with nice audio guide + it’s only 10 EUR Definitely worth a visit if you are interested in Atlantic Wall

Catastrophe!!! Trams are overcrowded and the frequency is too low. Very often you can't get on the tram at all!!! The vehicles themselves are uncomfortable and there is little space in them. I don't understand why, when replacing the tram fleet, it was not decided to use longer vehicles, since the tram stops can handle trams that are several meters longer. This is an unacceptable situation for me.

Stop promoting this as a tourist transportation! It's a regular tram, very crowded and uncomfortable. Yes, it takes you from one place to another, but don't hope for nice view or something interesting to see.

(Translated by Google) on the last 5 days in March 2025, always punctual and reliable, very cheap daily rate (Original) an den letzten 5 Tagen im März 2025 immer pünktlich und zuverlässig, sehr günstiger Tagestarif

(Translated by Google) Nice route along the coast and beach. (Original) Leuke route langs de kust en strand.

(Translated by Google) It's really scandalous how full the trams are, really overcrowded...You can't get on or off...and 1 tram every 15 minutes, really not possible...What if something happens on such an overcrowded tram? ?? (Original) Echt schandalig hoe vol de trammen zitten, echt overvol ...Je kan er niet bij en niet af ...en om de 15min 1 tram, echt niet te doen ...Wat als er iets gebeurt op zo'n overvolle tram???

(Translated by Google) It is not responsible that there are so many people on the tram, it is also dangerous, people have already fallen, also because the tram abruptly left, it's a pity I don't like the tram (Original) Het is niet verantwoord dat er zoveel volk op de tram zit het is ook gevaarlijk er zijn al mensen gevallen ook omdat de tram brut vertrek spijtig ik vind dr tram nirt leuk

(Translated by Google) The coastal tram!!!!!! A real shame!!!!! Here people are crammed into the tram, animals are treated better (Original) De kusttram !!!!!! Een echte schande!!!!! Hier worden mensen in de tram opeen gestampt, dieren worden beter behandeld

The place is impressive, and worth visiting. Adding the planetarium is a must, especially if you are visiting woth kids. I missed more information about the site itself, the visit felt more like an overview of WWII. The website is also pretty outdated and hard to navigate. Tip: bring a jacket, it is very cold inside the tunnel!!!

I didn’t know what to expect when visiting this museum — I went in completely blind, having done no prior research and only using ChatGPT to help plan my holiday itinerary. I was genuinely in awe when the huge concrete megastructure suddenly came into view as I drove into the car park. It was completely unexpected and an impressive sight to behold. The exhibits, supported by clear and informative supplementary information, made the visit both engaging and enjoyable. That said, a few areas felt a little empty, and additional displays could have further enriched what was otherwise a very well-presented museum. One highlight was the interactive tablet and headset experience, which elevated the visit and made the museum even more immersive. The on-site café was also a pleasant surprise, serving tasty food and drinks at very reasonable prices.

Took my Band of Gamers tour group here on October 2, 2023. The site was absolutely amazing. In addition to the history of the V2 program, the site also presented information on the slave labour the Nazis used to work on this complex - very sobering. In 2019 my group visited the V3 site Mymoceques but we didn't have time to come here. I'm glad we took the time to see it this time. Highly recommend.

If your near by and even have the remotest interest in history, or humanity, go. But bewarned it hits hard. Think about if taking small children is a good idea or not, there are some articles which will need to be explained, but then should be. Will never forget it.

One of the best museums I've visited. As well as the sheer scale of the WW2 remains, it also tells you why, and how, and the human toll it took to build it. The audio-visio guides are superb and show you graphically how and why it was built. A superb museum, superb and friendly staff and a museum that leaves you astounded by the sheer scale. Superb.

Its a beautiful and well preserved memory of the great and indeed insane ambitions of the Third Reich. Combine this visit with a visit to the Blockhaus or the V3 weapon and you'll see what optimism and a lot of money can do. Even though it's unfinished, you'll have a great impression of this site. The interactive tablets do a good job. Some expositions are sadly only in French and the lack of internet under earth invalidate on the fly translation apps. Pre-downloading translations helps. I'll still give it 5 stars. It will take you from 1914 well into the American space program, with a focus on WW2 in Northern France, the resistance and the eventual liberation.

I highly recomend the visit, very well organized museum with a lot of history.

Definitely worth a visit. Some interactive information. A number of short video presentations, either in English of with subtitles. Displays of WWI uniforms, munitions etc. Cafe and toilets on ground floor. Option to visit the bell tower, quite a number of steps, but even on a dull rainy day worth the visit.

was here on a bus tour from brussels, entrance was included in our tour. -When we arrived our guide gave us poppy wrist bands for entrance, they also activate things. -Typical museum, different displays of uniforms, weapons, artifacts, stories and maps. There is a small theater to hear real stories from nurses during the war -Souvenir and book shop at the end of the tour. -The museum is in the largest building in town, the old town hall, so you cant miss it. -There was also a small flea/garage sale going on right outside of it. People selling random things. There was one or 2 selling war artifacts, not sure it authentic.

One of the main museums, if not the main museum one can visit when retracing the Western Front and the WW1 trail. Located within a splendid building in the centre of Ypres. The museum is immersive with key station points for your audio guide to be activated, a very clever poppy band that also activated key points throughout the museum. Lots of videos of reenactments, great displays and lots of key information that can even make one who may know a lot, to think further. Very accessible and decently priced.

Great museum focusing on WW1 and the surrounding battles. Take advantage of the opportunity to climb to the top of the bell tower during your visit. Allow at least 2 hours for a comprehensive visit. There is also a small cafe and well stocked book shop. Parking is usually available in the public square outside.

Excellent museum with lots of interactive displays and videos. A brilliant telling of the experiences of the solders and civilians in the Ypres salient during the First World War. Very powerful and moving. All contained in the fabulous building rebuilt after the war.

I visited for two main reasons. First is that my Great Grandfather was a gunner with the RGA in the 3rd Battle of Ypres and not only was it a miracle that he survived but also the diary he kept of his experiences, which is a moving read. After transcribing this a few years ago, I have been researching the contents and the day I visited the museum was part of that and found it so interesting and informative. The layout is quite modern and I liked the use of videos with actors recreating the experiences, especially the medical staff. The other reason I was visiting is that my Great Uncle Charles was killed in 1915 and as he has no known grave, his name is inscribed on the nearby Menin Gate. The impact of his death, and that of his brother who was killed in action only a few weeks later, is still remembered by our family and I was also trying to find out more about his death. For both of these family members, I did manage to find out really useful additional information. Even if you are not like me and researching a specific family member, this is definitely worth visiting and is suitable for younger children with adult supervision. Our teen children found it interesting and we need to ensure the younger generation are aware of the events of 1914-18. There is an entry fee and you can pay extra for an audio tour and visit to the tower. We didn't do the latter two due to time restraints (we managed to get in for last entry time as we had had a busy day of visiting other sites which had to fit in 1 day) We hadn't pre-booked but no issues with that.

One of the best planned and presented museums I ever visited. Impressive displays and the video presentations are both captivating and haunting. If you are in the area, this place is a must

A sombre place - 'a First World War memorial in Ypres, Belgium, dedicated to the missing British and Commonwealth soldiers who have no known grave in the Ypres Salient, with their names engraved on the walls of the memorial.' - I felt choked up approaching this place remembering my relatives that served here including my grandfather wounded at Passchendaele. We also saw groups of school kids, including some Indian students, and their teacher and a male and female student carried a wreath to lay remembering Indians who served as part of the British Empire.

I was here twice in one day, on a bus tour from brussels. Once around lunch, and then once at 7pm to stay for the 8pm last post ceremony. -Its a large "Gate" building, the functions as a road as well except at 8pm, when police close the road for the last post ceremony. The sidewalk is also roped off, you cannot cross this gate into or out of city between 7:50pm-8:20pm, by foot or car. -You can walk up the steps in the middle to the upper parts on either side, its more walls of names. -You can participate in the last post Ceremony if you have a poppy wreath similar to theirs. You can bring from home, or Buy a wreath at the "Info shop" across the road from the gate, inside the city. The man running the ceremony said they never turn away someone that wants to participate. -The last post ceremony gets busy, we arrived 1 hour before to be sure we got front row, and we did, but it does get busy. The ceremony itself is about 10min long, with a short trumpet call, then a short speech, then people walk up and put wreaths, and then trumpets again, and its over. The guide said sometimes there is more people putting wreaths, sometimes there is more speeches, sometimes more music performances, so it could take longer sometimes. Overall it was a nice memorial to the fallen soldiers

Have visited a few times before. Last time (2024) it was closed for restoration, all done now and looking great. There’s an office on site where they will help you locate the name of a lost family member. (Don’t try to read all the names or you’ll never find the one you want). If your schedule allows, stay for the Last Post ceremony, done every day. Right in the town centre of Ypres, a beautiful place to visit.

Must visit if you are in the area. Visited 2 evenings in a row for the last post ceremony. Very emotional and a sombre occasion. Called into the CWGC shop across the road too

This is a must visit site in Ypres, especially at 8pm every day when the last post is played. It is remarkable that this service happens every day of the year more than 100 years after WW1, but then it remains as poignant and relevant today as ever (sadly). We attended on two consecutive nights, one night with the Honourable Artillery Company Regimental Band playing (incredible) the next with a female choral choir. Both were very moving. I estimated about 500 people attended both nights. The four or five horn players of the last post were clearly very experienced. The gate itself is a mini-museum, and it is very impactful to see the thousands of names of lost soldiers from so many countries. Really, everyone should visit this site.

The gate is a large memorial to the British Empire and Dominions troops that were killed in the Great War. It was built in the 1920s and has the names of 54,000 allied servicemen who lost their lives but have no known grave, inscribed on panels inside the building. It is sited on the road that the troops used to march along to reach the nearby Ypres salient, scene of fighting for pretty much the entire war. It is also where the famous Last Post ceremony takes place. We read the CWGC information boards and saw the information on the hill next to the gate and then we walked through the galleries with the names of the fallen before joining the crowds to listen to the ceremony. I was surprised at how busy it was and the ceremony itself lasted about 15 minutes but the colonnade was full 45 minutes before it started. It was a lovely ceremony with the Last Post and then two songs sung by St Anthony's Catholic Girl School from Market Weighton.

A must see experience. Lots of emotions. Make up your own mind as to a celebration of war or a monument against it! A waste of human life for a just cause or maybe a monument against war. A lesson from history about the waste of war and its leaders who send men to there death! Looking at the world at the moment, have we learned? But to those who lost their lives a very moving monument.

Great place to visit! Really reasonably priced. A number of the exhibits were closed for renovations so we weren't able to see everything. Would definitely recommend a trip to the Zoo if you're visiting Lille!

Zoo de Lille is very good for the price! We were pleasantly surprised by a wide range of animals in the zoo. The attraction unfortunately at the moment is under renovation which I imagine will be complete by summer season (2025.) Despite the building work we still managed to spend well over an hour at the zoo. It’s worth noting this is not a whole day attraction and will only take you a few hours at most.

Fabulous small zoo with many birds and small mammals. Lots of space in the enclosures. Takes about 1 hour to walk round. Can wander amongst tropical birds so watch out for their deposits from above 🤭

A lovely, compact, well-kept zoo, ideal for families with small children. Suitably priced (as at 2025 it is €6 for adult and about €3 for children) as it is took about an hour and a half go through with a short stop for lunch. There are no large animals like elephants, rhinos, hippos, zebra etc. but a nice selection of smaller ones which were great to see - playful meerkats, sleepy warthogs and tapirs, porcupine, tortoise, an array of birds, red panda. The zoo was well-maintained, not an overload of signage, small amounts of information (name of the animal in English) and lots of clear spacious paths, a huge amount of greenery so it felt more like you were visiting animals in their natural habitats. Throughout the zoo they featured large glossy photos of their animals. No wait to enter in summer holidays. Free toilet access inside the zoo. Small lunch option (toasties and crepes, ice creams etc). A lift available for disabled visitors to access areas with steps. Good links via bus if preferring that to a walk from the heart of Lille. Outside the zoo there is a large play area and mini theme park so worth visiting this area with young ones!

Small, but very amazing zoo. Cheap entree fee. Not to busy, so you can watch most of the animals in peace. Very fun, would recommend!!

Not a bad little zoo. Part of it was closed when we went. Although it's small, it has some nice enclosures and some animals not often encountered in zoos. It could use a few more zoo maps as they seem to be few. Also, beware of Google Maps if you're walking and looking for the zoo. It sent us on a 50 minute journey around the citadel rather than the MUCH shorter direct route.

amazing for the price, much bigger than we expected! took about 3 hours to properly go around. one thing i have to say is i'm not sure how ethical it is to have pallas's cats which are adapted to cold environments, especially due to the heatwave - a lot of the animals were visibly struggling with the heat but of course this is out of the zoos control for the most part

France, a country notorious among travelers for its challenging reputation, turned out to be far more charming than I expected. And for me, Lille had even more appeal than Paris. If I ever return to France, there’s no question I’ll be coming back to Lille.

Lille is a beautiful city. The buildings are so architecturally stunning. Plenty to see and do on our 3 days trip. Lots of restaurants and coffee, patisseries. Yummy. Our hotel Mercure grand place was extremely good value and breakfast fabulous. Will visit again when its maybe not so hot 🥵

Absolutely gorgeous! 🥰 Very lively during the day and mesmerising at night with all the beautiful illuminations. It reminded me of Brussels in a way. It’s definitely a must when in Lille. Plenty of restaurants and cafés in its surroundings.

Amazing and spacious square where you can admire several architectural beauties of lille. It can get crowded and there are beggars and homeless people around it, so watch out for your stuff, or help if possible.

The beautiful city of lille. Well worth a visit just for the architecture alone. Stunning and great to see a strong police presence

Only had an hour in Lille before heading for the ferry at Calais so of course we headed straight for the Grand Place & the surrounding streets of the Vieux-Lille to look at the buildings & soak up some Lille vibes….& it was all positive apart from one thing - the stench of the sewers :/

The areas of the town squares are nice. There are many nice decorations around and some good stores where people can buy stuff. One thing I don't like is the fact that cars are allowed to operate within the pedestrian area, with no traffic lights and no signs. Really, man? Who's dumb idea was that? People who walk and cyclists can get hurt, especially children. This stupidity was abolished in 99% of the European cities I've visited, except for Lille. Seriously... Compared to Szeged, Charleroi, Novi Sad and Timișoara, which are superior cities, Lille sucks in that case. 👎 Those are a few examples. ☝️ I've visited many cities all across Europe and Asia. Naming all of them would take 100 days. I know Lille can become good. It really needs better laws and improvements. Other than that, I see good things too. The surroundings look nice. 👍

Truly incredible museum. An amazing collection of striking artifacts, classical statues and iconic artwork. I also was pleasantly surprised to find that only for special events/exhibitions do you need a ticket, otherwise entry is totally free to see this absolutely incredible place. An absolute MUST if you're in the area.

Great museum! Well worth a visit. There were a lot of visiters though, so we had to wait at certain rooms to see everything. Worth a visit if you love art!

Free admission, nice collection in a quiet place. There is additional exhibition that costs extra. Audio guide available for 2 euros.

We used this as a pit stop while on a road trip, and it exceeded my expectations. The museum is free and enables you to see loads of incredible art. I loved the layout in the main room, with artefacts in chronological order. The information was really useful along with some fun activities for children/adults. The museum itself is not grand, but I think that adds to its appeal. What seems quite ordinary from the outside opens up into an airy and spacious blank canvas for the art to stand out against. I don't know if we could have spent too long here, which is why I have marked it down a star. However there seemed to be cafés and other paid exhibitions which you could delight yourself with. Free parking, free museum. Excellent stuff.

Fabulous! Love the layout. Loved the collection of art… A lot of of it was very whimsical. I’ll post my photos.

Beautiful Museum and absolutely worth a visit. We didn’t have to pre-book tickets as it was very empty. There is also a nice restaurant just outside the museum and a canteen inside serving salads, sandwiches and wine.

The Mona Lisa has become a cruel joke. One of the most beautiful paintings you'll see but everyone has their back to it to take selfies. So you are looking at them not the Mona Lisa. This painting dominates the experience. Advantage is you get to see Liberty Leading the People and my favourite the statue and mosaics from Persia with very little crowds. I used a guide to usher us in which cost 40e but saved about 3 hours queuing so well worth it.

What an epic monument, set in a beautiful location…. Its scale and design is awe inspiring and on a sunny day is truly epic… Those that give this monument less than 5 stars due to political or petty reasons really need to have a word with themselves… the people this monument represents are those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for the safety and security of their nation.

Very important memorial for a historical battle won by the Canadians. I rented a car out of Paris and made a day trip just to see this memorial. As a Canadian I felt the need to visit, and I was very glad I did. This memorial is what is on the Canadian Twenty Dollar Bill, photo attached.

A truly beautiful and serene memorial site that offers a meaningful experience for visitors. The exhibits onsite are thoughtfully curated and provide valuable historical and emotional context. The grounds are well-maintained, with clean bathrooms and a conveniently located vending machine for refreshments. Visitors are encouraged to maintain a respectful demeanor throughout their time here, as the site honors important memories and lives. Unfortunately, during my visit, a group of disrespectful youths disrupted the peaceful atmosphere, which detracted somewhat from the experience. This is a place for quiet reflection, and those unable to behave appropriately should consider visiting elsewhere. Overall, I highly recommend this memorial for anyone seeking a moment of reflection, education, or tribute. A truly moving and dignified place.

What an absolutely incredible site. It is so much larger than I expected, very well maintained, and full of sobering reminders of the devastation and reality of World War I. There are intact fields of no man’s land full of craters and misshapen features. The monument is significant in size and impression . When we arrived, there were many bus loads of French students here to learn about the history of this battle. It was nice to see the site so well used for education. My father-in-law’s uncle died here, and he is named after that uncle. It was an emotional experience to find his name on the memorial. One of the French teacher, teachers and student students were excited to discover this connection, and they surrounded him with cheers and hugs, and it was very emotional for everyone. The only complaint is the lack of the accessibility. My parents in law are elderly and had a very difficult time making the walk to the monument. If one improvement could be made, it is making a site significantly more accessible for the disabled and the elderly. I would highly recommend this site to anyone, especially any Canadians travelling through the area.

The memorial is quite amazing to see, even in the pouring rain. It's a true monument to the brave soldiers you lost their lives far from home so many years ago. I highly recommend a visit to the information centre as well.

Unbelievable well-preserved trenches from both sides!........You cannot say that you enjoyed it, because of the horrors of what occurred here! But it is a fitting memorial where you can take a moment to actually witness in real life and reflect on the futility of the First World War and sacrifice of the poor soldiers on both sides who never came home!

Third time I’ve visited this memorial and it reminds a powerful and emotional experience every time. Beautifully maintained location and well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

A good place to visit for about 2-3 hours. Intesting place, english information sheet and listening device for the tour and museum. The mine tour was good. Lots of parking and toilets.

Amazing place. The museum is super cool, it explains in very nice way all about mining on the region and on the site. The visit to the simulated mine is as well cool.

I turn up at 1300 on a Friday 27 June to find the restaurant is 'full' yet it remains empty. I am informed that I have to attend the tour at 1330 and after that ONLY then am I free to visit the museum. Therefore they think I wait 30 minutes doing nothing! Little do then know it's likely I know more about mining than they do! Thankfully this place was only one of many I am visiting and I highly recommend visiting the locally run museums, ran by volunteers who worked those particular mines. This is an attraction for those with no prior knowledge of mining!

Great attraction showing how minig has changed through the ages. Includes information on how the miners worked and lived. Well presented and a great day out.

I never thought that I could enjoy this type of visit that much. The museum is so realistic, you have the feeling of going back to the past. Count minimum 3hours for a full visit and wear comfortable shoes, it's important.🤪 There's a small shop for souvenirs, many other activities for almost all ages throughout the year. If you're visiting the Nord-Pas-de-Calais, then you should definitely stop by this museum. It's worth your curiosity especially if you like history though this one isn't a joyful one. To those who have read "Germinal" of Emile Zola, this museum is the best way to feel like you were present in those days, meanwhile many of us weren't even born when it all happened.😊

Really nice museum, with a very nice collection. There are lots of stuff and info for small and big. The entry to the "mine" is very informative. If you plan to go plan atleast three hours to have time enough to get all the information. We spent nearly three hours with two children and did not manage to see it all. The reason for only 4 stars is the missing information in English in the permanent exhibition.

My father worked here in 1958 as an immigrant from Sicily and i was born nearby before moving to Switzerland in 1963 and later to Australia in 1977. God bless us all !

A very cool cathedral to visit! It’s incredibly old and has such a magical atmosphere — like walking through history. I was completely obsessed with this place. Highly recommend it!

Don't miss the tower tour! You have to make reservations before 11 am. I reserved at 10:00 and was the last one! Adrien did an outstanding job of interpreting the site!

A beautiful and historic Cathedral in the lovely town of Laon. It was extraordinary to see such a stunning building and we were very greatful to be able to look around. Worth a visit whilst investigating the rest of Laon.

We always visit Laon on our way back to Calais. It is just off the A26 motorway and well worth seeing. Beautiful cathedral, good restaurants, free parking and wonderful views..

Laon Cathedral, France. So beautiful church

Amazing gem in that part of France. It was first built in the 8th century, and then the new cathedral was built between 1155 and 1235. More parts of the building were added in the following centuries to be seen in the present form. It was cold inside on a January day, but on a rainy day one can enjoy so much being inside.

A really impressive building showcasing a rich and diverse cultural history. The light show in the evenings in August are magical and very very impressive! This year even more impressive than last year.

Historical & Legendary Cathedral This is one of the oldest Cathedrals in the world. It witnessed the crowning of Kings in the Middle Ages and was always an amazing beacon of faith for the Catholic Church. It is currently ongoing a bit of renovation but still looks fabulous. If you come to Reims you will see the Cathedral it is the absolute one and only building you need to see visit. We were also very impressed by the inside the ceilings are so high that they give you this feeling of Grandness- ABSOLUTE must see !

Extremely beautiful church! Huge and with nice information inside! They have a shop as well as some brochures for more information. It is a must for people interested in French history and Gothic architecture. You cannot miss the Marc Chagall's piece of art!

A true masterpiece of Gothic architecture, the Cathédrale de Reims captivates visitors with its soaring spires, intricate stone carvings, and breathtaking façade. Inside, sunlight streams through stained-glass windows of multiple colors and designs, casting vibrant patterns that tell stories from history and scripture. Every corner reveals centuries of craftsmanship, from the delicate arches to the detailed sculptures. Whether you are drawn to architecture, art, or history, the cathedral offers an unforgettable experience where light, color, and stone come together in perfect harmony.

We did the roof tour. Nine euro each and very easy to book on their website. 249 steps with no stopping places so be prepared for a hike. Our tour was in French but he did a little bit in English for us. Some surprises up there which I won't spoil

The beauty and grandeur of this cathedral cannot be conveyed in words. It is here that you can feel the power of this place. Here you will feel all the energy of centuries. It was here that 31 kings were crowned. A majestic cathedral.

Notre Dame was the most stunning cathedral that I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. It was beautiful inside and fill with relics and beautiful artworks. It was an awesome experience. If you ever have the chance to see go there do so.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals in France. It was built in the Gothic style and is truly a masterpiece of architecture. The exterior is incredibly detailed, with stunning sculptures and tall towers that immediately catch your eye. Inside, the high ceilings, colorful stained-glass windows, and peaceful atmosphere make the experience unforgettable. It’s amazing to think how much history this place holds — it was the traditional site for the coronation of French kings. The best part is that entry is free, so it’s definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, or just looking for a breathtaking place to explore. Highly recommended!

We had a guided tour here. It was very informative and really enjoyable. The tour ended with a chilled glass of champagne. Top tip, take a long sleeved top as it will be 10 degrees Celsius in the caves and you will be in there for an hour 🥶

Loved the experience. My mom does not speak English or French, however the self -guided tour was available in German. At the entrance you can collect papers to explain the different stops of the tour. The art and installations bring you into a world, which goes beyond champagne. Definitely a must see! Only downside was that I contacted the service twice via e-mail and never got any response. So, customer service and communication upfront the visit could be improved.

Fun experience! 🎉 bought a tasting ticket for a glass of champagne—you can enjoy it either before or after the tour. Then you walk through the champagne cellars, which are filled with the names of different cities. The whole vibe feels a lot like wandering through an art exhibition in the cave town full of champagne bottles 🥂✨

Step beneath the city of Reims into the spellbinding Caves Pommery, where art and champagne meet beneath vaulted chalk tunnels. The vast underground galleries, once ancient quarries, now house thousands of resting bottles illuminated by soft golden light. Modern art installations blend seamlessly with centuries of heritage, creating a one-of-a-kind sensory journey. From the refined Brut Royal to the elegant Cuvée Louise, every tasting celebrates grace, craftsmanship, and history. A visit to Pommery is more than a tour — it’s an immersion into the soul of 🍾🍾🍾

【Quick Summary】An exploration of vast underground cellars where art and history intersect! Experience the dynamic world of a major Champagne house. 【Purpose of Visit】Recommended for anyone from beginners to advanced Champagne lovers who want to enjoy large-scale cellars and unique art exhibits. ✅ Experience (Tour & Tasting) The grounds, buildings, and the expansive underground cellars (caves) are incredibly vast, and the tour was highly engaging. A standout feature was that the tour wasn't merely a storage cellar visit; colorful lighting and contemporary art objects were placed throughout. It felt like walking through a subterranean art museum, allowing us to fully appreciate the unique and dynamic world of Veuve Pommery. We also found special cellar plates for places like Kyoto and the Hotel Okura in Tokyo on the cellar walls, which was a fun discovery and a reminder of the house's connection to Japan. We visited without a prior reservation, and it was fortunate that we were able to join a tour at a good timing. A Champagne tasting followed the tour. Although the Champagne was delicious, since major houses' bottles are generally available at stable prices worldwide, we decided not to purchase souvenirs on this occasion. ✅ Environment (Atmosphere & Facilities) The stairs and tunnels leading down to the cellars are illuminated with colorful lighting, creating a mysterious and fantastical atmosphere. The vast space features a unique blend of history and art, with carvings on the old stone walls and the display of a massive wooden cask. ✅ Final Thoughts This is a distinctive house experience where the historical scale of the Champagne region's cellars merges with modern art. If you have the time, this is certainly a spot worth visiting.

Huge Champagne House with a rich history. The tour itself was fun and they have a lot of elements, many of which a little bit kitschy but fun. The tour guide was very nice and spoke great english, providing a lot of interesting information about the history of Pommery. They are a little bit crazy, but in a good way. There is a slight smell of wine everywhere in the establishment.

Absolutely stunning. This is incredibly beautiful. The artwork is everything and it’s like a wonderland. Then your at a UNESCO Hertiage site. We did the gastro tour and it was such good value. I see some reviews annoyed they booked in French I had no problem with booking as it does clearly say the language on the site before you book.

Hugo was a terrific guide—professional, kind, and decisive in keeping the tour moving. The Signature Tour offered a clear overview of the champagne making process for novices as well as detailed information so everyone could learn something. The caves and tasting room were unforgettable and well worth the price, though I could have skipped (or shortened) the special exhibit at the beginning of the tour. A memorable Moët & Chandon experience! 🥂🍾

Waw! Impressed by the ambassador Mrs Violetta who was in charge of the guided visit ‘Signature’ tour that we participated today. It’s impressive to be in the elegant estate, to discover the history of Moët & Chandon and to walk through the huge network of underground cellars. The tasting is sophisticated and very good organized.

Loved this tour! The guide was super friendly and explained the champagne-making process in a fun, easy-to-follow way. Walking through the massive underground cellars was such a cool experience — you really get a sense of the history and scale behind Moët & Chandon. The tasting at the end was the perfect finish. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Épernay! 🍾

Wonderful vintage tour at Moët & Chandon. Marie Filomene Martins was an outstanding guide—warm, engaging, and full of insight. The history, the art, and the stunning cellars made the visit unforgettable. Everything felt polished and beautifully presented. Our tasting of Dom Pérignon 2015 was the perfect finale.

We visited Moët & Chandon in July 2025 as part of our anniversary celebration and were captivated by the history, elegance, and craftsmanship behind every bottle. The cellar tour was immersive and educational, the champagne tasting exceptional, and the gracious hospitality of the staff made it a truly unforgettable experience.

Elegant and Unforgettable – Moët & Chandon, Épernay Visiting Moët & Chandon in Épernay is a must for any champagne lover. The guided tour is polished and informative, offering a fascinating look into centuries of tradition beneath the historic cellars. The tasting at the end is the perfect finish — refined, generous, and truly delicious. A classy, memorable experience in the heart of Champagne.

Our guide, young black brother did an exceptional job yesterday when giving us our Imperial tour Sat 8/30. He knew his history as an ambassador and I had such an amazing time. Shop and property is by far the best out of all the maisons on the row.

It was a delightful experience with a wide array of stores to explore. This location offers a comprehensive shopping experience, featuring numerous designer outlets with attractive discounts.

A lot of popular brands with good prices. Best place for shopping❤️

Although a part of the mall was under (re)construction : nice place to shop

Good selection of shops. Not too many options for food. Too few bathrooms for such a large place.

Great shopping place near Troyes if you are on the way to Paris. Many brands and decent prices

Great place, good stuff to buy, good prices, dogs are allowed (big+) nice restoraunts, perfect place to shop nice and spend whole day!

One of the oldest outlet in france and around Paris if you would like to drive almost two hours to get there. But you do find good prices and even rare items. So I like it ! I will come back for sure. Thank you guys

My favourite amusement park to go with my family with two boys age 4 and 5. Lots of rides for them to go in and enjoy. Maximum lengtu of a lineup for us this day was 15 minutes.

Wow. This is one of the most well run theme parks I‘ve ever been to. It’s on the smaller side, but it offers enough to spend a whole day here. The whole park is very clean, ticket and park food prices are very fair and the ride operations are lightning quick. I unfortunately visited on of the most crowded days of the year, but because this park is so well run, I got everything done including 17 rides on their main attraction Alpina Blitz. I highly recommend a visit, and I‘m excited for their new coaster in 2027.

Nigloland is one of those parks that’s big enough to be exciting, yet small enough to stay cozy and easy to enjoy. It’s clean, nicely kept, and full of charm, perfect for a relaxed family day. There can be queues for the main attractions, but honestly, which park doesn’t have them during school holidays? What I really love is how balanced it feels: not just for little kids or thrill-seeking teens, but great for families with children of all ages. Even toddlers can find something fun to ride. During Halloween, it’s especially atmospheric, colorful, cheerful, and full of small details that make you smile. And by the way, it’s in Champagne, so technically, between rides with the kids, you can still sneak off for a tasting or two. To each their own pleasure. A warm, well-run park. Five stars, happily.

Nigloland is wonderfull blend between a fully fine to be old fashioned theme park for toddlers and older. You got everything for what you pay. It's clean, you have decent lines for all kind of attractions and rollercoasters. Spend a entire day in there. And it was a good surprise. An excellent ratio quality/price. If you plan to stay for a whole week end you should definitely stay at Hotel des pirates. The props are fun, the owners come to visit oftenly the customers. The restaurants has everything you'd like to eat. For starters you can enjoy the garden to take a drink while your kids are playing in the big playground just aside to where you can bask in the late afternoon light in your seat sipping your cocktail ! A nice stay for any family

Such an amazing experience with family, good for the little ones and also very fun for the adults. This is one of the most beautiful and well kept and maintained attraction park I’ve ever been to in my life. You can really tell they keep their maintenance and housekeeping to a really high standard. All staff were also very friendly. The rides are all amazing. The African “safari” on the boat was a highlight. So entertaining. So in awe of what they have created at this park. The gardens are also beautiful, reminds me of the botanic gardens.

Great Theme Park, went here but it was raining yet i had fun!

Nigloland is really very good. We stayed in the Cabainia cabins and we’ve stayed in the pirates hotel before. We’ve also done Astérix and Disney before and the quality here is much better. The decor, rides, waiting times all great. In particular their team are very nice. They do a very good job.

De Gaulle was a legend in his own mind. Horrible leader with a massive ego. Bad combination. He never could thank the English or Americans for the liberation of France. Just a small man all around.

Very interesting and well presented tribute to the great man. Plenty parking. Toilets on site. Cafe. Helpful staff. Easy walking distance to the town to see the gravesite.

Very suprising experience. Unexpectedly comprehensive, interesting and well curated museum. Stuff was very kind, fluent in English and helpful. Definitely worth to visit, although for non-french people :)

Brings modern French history to life. Excellent interpretation alongside a lovely cafe and gift shop. Great views over the countryside. Quite a moving experience.

Well that’s two hours of my life I won’t get back. I have never been to a museum that has such bad lighting and small writing. The amount of content you need to read is exhausting. We entered with a real interested in the life of Charles de Gaulle. We left, knowing not a great deal, more than when we entered,. We noticed many people got bored after the first hour and quickly rush through the museum. for English speaking people, you need to give yourself at least four hours.

Fantastic museum. They have radio headphones in several languages that are poised to go off when you hit certain points in the museum. The museum is large and has an inside and outside section. My headphones didn't fuction properly which was a bummer. I'd even taken them back a couple of times and got them replaced. All the boards are multi-lingual so I had a good time. Very extensive collection. Would go back to see it again.

A very nicely made memorial. It is not just to learn about Charles De Gaulle. This memorial will make you live the life of this iconic person and will experience the experiences that shaped his personality and life changing decisions.

It was the most beautiful place I visited in France, my favourite from the trip. It's a bit sad that the different rooms are not decorated, they have no furniture and are mostly empty inside, but all the buildings looks beautiful outside. The gardens are also great. Among all the destroyed and half reconstructed abbeysz, Fontenay stands out for its marvelous looks.

We really enjoyed our visit to the Fontenay Abbey. We basically had the entire place to ourselves. The paper guide was provided in English and was all we needed to understand all the different buildings and gardens. The church was amazing in its simplicity and the attached monks quarters were well preserved. The forge was a highlight with various re-creations of the water hammer first developed and used here. The gift shop was also nice. Parking was free and easy to access. Well worth the detour to see this wonderful historic site.

Fabulous abbey (the building or buildings occupied by a community of monks or nuns) consisting of different buildings, gardens, and channels. It claims to be the place where the industrial revolution started, and shows several industrial inventions. Very beautiful flower collection.

Phantasic place, very nice, really good! We enjoyed our stay.

Fontenay Abbey is a must-see if you're in that part of Burgundy. The abbey provides a self-guided tour in English that provides good information about the numerous buildings on-site. The long, rich history of the abbey is very interesting and the property is beautiful. The gift shop has a lot to offer, especially books on the region.

A most beautiful abby with beautiful architecture, art work, gardens, and workmanship.

Beautifully maintained historical site. Bring snacks/picnic, there are only vending machines on site.

A painfully over-restored castle. The newly restored right tower is not a sight to behold. Inside, however, many interesting details are still visible. Also of interest is the building's vertical open section, which reveals the medieval structure.

I loved this castle! It is well-restored and has an interesting history. It's wild to imagine walking on floor tiles that have been in use for maybe 900 years! There is just enough decor and information to give you a sense of the castle over the centuries... It feels a bit like a treasure hunt, following along with the story of the former inhabitants and the renovation process. Don't miss the lower level with the story of the renovations. The video at the end almost made me cry. Keep an eye on time because they do kick you out for their lunch break! The medieval garden was so well-tended, we loved all the happy herb plants with their corresponding labels. I also loved the colorful tiles in the bathroom. It's amazing how the visitors center was designed so as to be essentially invisible when approaching the castle. We also really enjoyed the saunter through the town to get to the castle. What a charming place! It's a great value for the price of admission... We paid 6 Euros and we were there for almost two hours. Would have stayed longer!

Fantastic castle with great audio visuals in 4 languages. Excellent exhibition detailing the recent renovation and lovely walled gardens. Perfect mornings entertainment for the family. Tremendous views of the surrounding countryside.

This is a very well maintained beautiful small château that has an audio self guided tour as well as regular tours (check with chateauneuf team for hours and languages). The small village where the château is located is a very quaint village with beautiful stone houses and quite a variety of small restaurants where you can havevlunch, dinner or just an apéritif or a coffee break. Checked some of the menus andcthe prices were quite reasonable . . Definitely recommended !

It is not expensive to visit, which is fair as a lot of the castle is not available to see. There are a lot of videos to watch about the renovation work which are quite interesting. There were a couple of primary school classes visiting when we went, so it was often difficult to see anything. It's not somewhere I would take the smaller grandchildren as it's quite bland and a lot of reading to do to understand it. Parking in the very pretty village and toilets near the gift shop.

Went with the family during our holiday. Kids (4 & 7yrs) loved it. Free entrance for kids, adults was not so expensive. (6eur p.p) (The souvenir shop itself was quite expensive) Keep in mind that between 12.30-14.00 visiting is closed. We spended ~1 hr in the château and also ~1hr in the village. Lots of art to be found, some restaurants but no grocery shopping.

Lovely place for a walk and some ice cream. If you have the time, take the full tour of the fortress. If not, enjoy the majestic renovations and the view. Carefully: avoid walking under the oaks- the caterpillars are toxic.

Cool and iconic in Dijon... easy to find. It's nice to find it without Google maps to make it for Cool... just follow the signs on the street floor.

A modern old town, just follow the golden arrows for sightseeing. The shops are neat and orderly. I saw people slipping after the rain because the floor is slippery. It is recommended to wear shoes a good shoes. There is a restaurant that supports Down syndrome. I recommend you try it.

Palm-sized and polished by countless hands, the little owl carved into Notre-Dame’s wall turns a side lane into a ritual. Touch with your left hand and make a wish; the brass pavement plate with the owl logo marks the stop and small arrows carry you along Dijon’s Parcours de la Chouette. This is the route’s namesake and most photographed moment: modest stone, big civic idea. I like how the trail knits small details to major landmarks - marker, brief engagement, onward wayfinding - so one carving speaks to grander sites across the old town.

Super nice tour especially for kids which are keen on discovering the next owl of Dijon on the way. All nice attractions can be seen on this journey.

Great mid evil city with not a lot of tourists. Great wines from around the region, many fine restaurants and a truly great French market place

Loved randomly following footpath markers to discover iconic landmarks in Dijon. You can buy a €4 map from the tourist office and do it in an organized manner or just set yourself a challenge to see how many you can find on your travels.

I like it - brings good luck if you place your right hand on it :) A tip from a local: Once there, make sure to check the rooftop of the building to the right of the owl, you'll find beautiful owl and cat.. keeping an eye on the city ;) (photo below)

The rooms are beautiful. Lots of classic old works, a few modern works, so not very impressive for me. Admission is free, so it's worth seeing the architecture. Beware, there's a trap on the first floor, you'll never get out without asking... we weren't the only ones. Fortunately, the lovely security staff are there to help.

We were greeted by very friendly staff who explained the museum's layout. This museum is large, entry is free, and there are several floors of exhibits to see. The grounds around the museum are picturesque as well. Enjoy!

A free art museum! It was a treat, of course. I'm not an expert, but I think their collection was very good, based mostly on the Duc's collection. Don't miss the Duc and Duchess's tombs! Everything was in french and it wasn't very crowded, even on a Saturday and even with people fleeing from the rain, like we were.

The Best Things in Life Are Free Well, that’s certainly true for the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon. I first discovered it a few years ago while tracking works by Vieira da Silva and Nicolas de Staël—and since then, it has become an almost obligatory stop on the way to or back from the South. Just three hours from Luxembourg, and each visit brings something new. This time, a megalomaniac Chinese painter exhibited right in front of the tombs of the Dukes of Burgundy—a juxtaposition as unexpected as it is striking. And if you’re traveling with children, don’t miss the fantastical animals of Pompon. A place where history, discovery, and wonder are all free of charge.

Incredible museum. Very rich collection and well displayed and organised. Free to hold your bags in lockers and the staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommend visiting here!

The Dijon Museum of Fine Arts is well organised and an example of a must see museum outside of Paris, London, etc. There's everything from beautifully curated medieval art to sculpture to art and photography of the 1900s and 2000s. As a bonus, it's free to enter. Most definitely a not to be missed attraction in Dijon.

Just around the corner from our apartment was the gallery, it was fabulous, great works of art, by all the usual suspects, paintings and sculptures, a good 2 hours will suffice this wonderful painting by Tissot was the icing on the cake

Really loved the audio guide that gave great information but was entertaining the way it is done. Took us about an hour and a half to go through and a great picture of the non wine history in Beaune. Especially liked the pharmacie room and the presentation of every day life in those times.

This was definitely the highlight of our visit in Beaune. The building used to be a hospital for poor people and is now very well restored. Entrance fee is Euro 12 - you can book online or pay at the spot. The roof and the building itself are very beautiful but they cannot be seen from outside. You need to purchase a ticket. I am glad we did.

Truly beautiful: the roof, courtyard, musuem displays, the numerous works of art. Very well curated, easy to understand the history and acts of charity carried out here. The Last Judgement altarpiece is a true masterpiece and is not to be missed, very powerful Practically had the place to ourselves after 6

Great place to learn about how medicine was practices since the 15th century. Well restored and well presented. Their audio guide is an excellent teaching and learning tool, especially the “if you would like to learn more” green button.

Step back in time of old style hospital. Magnificent building with a tiled roof you can see best from inside the large courtyard. Well worth the entry fee. Booklet or headphones self audio tour are included with ticket price.

Working for a Hospice charity, I enjoyed seeing the granddad of Hospices in Beaune. This town was caring for the vulnerable from before my country was even discovered. Amazing tour and worth the ticket price to enter.

A must have seen in Beaune. Yes the roof is great. But for me the history of the very old hospital and its foundation fascinates me more. You get an audioguide, which I highly recommand. The tour is about 1 to 1,5 hours. A lot old hospital furnitures and equipment. Entrance was 12€, which is ok for such an historic place!

It is one of the most beautiful constructions of medieval times. Best atmosphere and vibes ✨️

This church and Abbey is one of the best preserved in France. It is surrounded by it's own walls and gates which gives it an impression of a fotres. Already in the 6th century a church was built here in a place where there used to be a Roman castrum or army camp. The Abbey got a boost in 875 when the remains of Saint Philibert were put to rest in this church and gave it it's name. The church is sober on the interior but has some interesting mosaics behind the main altar. At the entrance is a small exhibition. The Abbey has a nice central courtyard

Beautiful Building, well worth seeing the main church and surroundings. The building has a special feel to it, as you enter the nave (main part of the church)

Hate crashes a wedding and saw the place for free. To be mosaic in the ambulatory is excellent

Worth a visit for sure.

One of the most amazing churches I have been to, and I have been to hundreds or thousands of them. Beautifully restored, but not too much changed from its original state. Wonderful natural light. Not too crowded. Amazing architecture. Interesting, beautiful town that is not too touristy (at least in January, when I visited). Great, inexpensive lunch at the restaurant just outside (to the south of) the main entrance. If you like old buildings or Romanesque architecture, you should not miss Tournus.

Spectacular 5 star ⭐️

Beautiful Abbey. The 3D displays and movies show how splendid this Abbey has been. Audiotour recommended

Used to be the center of Christendom. Mostly ruins, but still lots there to see. Amazing digital recreations of the Abbey. Never really understood that until the 1400's this was the largest cathedral in Christendom - much bigger than St. Peters of that day. A combination of religious politics and the reformation in France changed all that. Much of the Abbaye was destroyed during the reformation. The digital exhibit expertly guides you through the transformation of the Abbaye over time.

Cool Abbey with a nice history. Surprised at how influencial it was over the years. Audio tour worth getting though it's a little clunky.

Layers of history are on display, with excellent 3D displays showing past-to-present contrasts and changes. Look out for the freestanding screens placed around; move and touch them to see the hidden layers. It's cool even on a very hot day, so it offers a break from the summer heat.

Going there was not super planned for us on our holidays. But it absolutely was worth it! The place is spectacular. Super big with nice explanations and visuals on how it looked once it was build. We were really in the atmosphere of medieval period !

This beautiful little town has a lot to offer if you're cruising through the back roads of Burgundy, and the Abbey is a spectacular way to spend the day if you enjoy history and ancient buildings. Besides the ruins and restorations, there are 3D films and models to dazzle you. Don't skimp on adding the Tour des Fromages toi your visit (spoiler alert - it's nothing to do with cheese). Don't be put off by the declaration of how many steps there are to climb, the view is worth it.

It is unfortunate that a majority of the place was dismantled and sold off. The place is in a constant state of renovation. There was a nice film explaining the history and the audio guide helped walk us through what was left on the place. Stepping outside and seeing where the footings are represented on the ground shows the shadow of the size of the Abby at one time. So little is left that I don’t know if the money to learn about it is worth it.

We had a great time there with our son of 6 years old. It's not too big, but still many animals to spot! Besides animals, there are also many attractions for the little ones! We had a great day.

Great day trip for all especially in July and August when the water park is open. New slides in the pool are excellent for kids under 7 and new games are fun. I highly recommend it.

More for children, not really for the animals We saw a zookeeper use a fire extinguisher on monkeys from the side to keep them appart We had to pay for the waterpark too, eventhough we did not want to use it. It was all in the price and no other options were available, it was misleading. But he parking is free.

I visited Touroparc Zoo a couple of weeks ago to celebrate my birthday, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! What made this experience so special was how hands-on it was. Unlike other soigneur experiences where you barely get to interact with the animals, Christophe made sure we were involved and engaged the whole way through. You can tell he genuinely cares for the all the reptiles and takes great pride in sharing that with others. We had the chance to see so many incredible species up close, and he gave us a fascinating look into what it’s really like to work behind the scenes at a zoo. Thank you, Christophe, for making my birthday so memorable. Your enthusiasm made the visit come alive! Highly recommend this experience to anyone, whether you're an animal lover or just curious. Truly a 10/10!

Very! nice park but absolutely ridiculous how weird they are about the height in the attractions, when accompanied by an adult. I was not allowed to drive the horses attraction with my baby who really got to love this attraction in Parc le pal. We stood 15 minutes in the burning sun. When it was our turn he pointed at the sign saying my baby should be 90cm. At Parc le pal we did this attraction multiple times without an issue. This ruined the moment. All other safe attractions you can do as parent with your kid, is not allowed, really frustrating. The wild water attraction or the mono rail are allowed :/ Please check your height restrictions... Everything else is really nice, but above gave everything a bad taste.

We visited on a cooler weekday in September and the place was very quiet which was perfect for us to see all the animals It's clear the animals are well cared for and healthy The rides and water park looked good but they were not available this late in the season

The VIP and Soigneur experiences are totally worth it. We have done the VIP visit twice and the both times was super amazing. Highly recommended. We chose to do the Soigneur experience in the reptile house and we're extremely happy with our choice. It was very very interactive and we learned so many interesting facts from Christoph. Thanks so much for the amazing experience with Curu, the snakes, lizards, iguana, crocodiles, and turtles!

We enjoyed our visit to the monastery and the museum. Beautiful site.

Very beautiful monastery with a rich history, unsurprising given how old Europe is. And this one has been well maintained, even hosting music and arts shows outside of just the walk around tour of the monastery itself. Obvious ongoing upkeep and restoration work is happening which is great given that this monastery is close to 500 years old. Doesn't look a day over 300. 🤪

A beautiful historical place where to spend a pleasant and interesting couple of hours. The architecture is impressive, the place is big and there is plenty of things to see: the church, the various rooms, the ancient tools used for the building, some historical facts etc... there was also a room with an art exhibition. Spent a wonderful afternoon there!

This place is breathtaking. The outside is beautiful and the inside is just amazing. Definitely worth the price of admission. Plan to allow yourself at least a few hours to enjoy and take in all the art, artifacts, and architecture this place has to offer.

Found by accident as we heading Northwards. Lucky the light show was on just as we took an evening stroll.Nice music also

Well maintained monastery and church with a very interesting history. The church hosts the graves of Philibert II., his mother and his wife Margaret of Austria, which are great pieces of art from Flamish sculpturers.

Stunning cathedral with a very unique roof displaying the colours of the Duchess of Burgundy built between 1506 and 1532. The monastery is behind the church.

Nice place to with family and friends..You must be early to visit all,bcoz it's a wide big place. We been last 19 April 2025.

The food is realy horrible. Vegetables taste bad, nearly pureed. Pasta was hard (burned) burgers were dry, hardly any Meat on them and french Fries are extra. Le comptoir des colibris is as bad as the park is good. Bring your own food and enjoy the beautifull park

Generally a beautiful park, very green and nicely designed when it comes down to aesthetics and topics. Parking was easy and well managed. Loads of staff trying to fill the parking lot in a way that makes sense, friendly and clear in their expressions. As with any park, there is a lot of walking involved and especially for small kids you'll need to be prepared to bring a pushchair. The toilets were absolutely yucky. I was only in the men's toilets, but it smells of wee everywhere, you're literally walking in it, the whole floor is covered in it. I know men can be yuk but some of those toilet I really wouldn't be surprised if they haven't been cleaned in a while or are leaking. I have never seen so much dodgy liquid on the floor. It really reeked. Some toilets have massive queues, not just the ladies', also the men's toilets. What surprised me though is, that our friends' daughters tried to get to the ladies and were trying to find a free cubical and three (!!!) ladies were so rude and pushed them out of the way. (which would be another downside, in some toilets you can literally see the cubical doors when you stand on the path). Shops/coffee and food stalls are understaffed. Particularly during high traffic periods. I.e. there was a bird show to begin in the arena and there was a massive (seriously, it was huge) queue trying to get in. There was a food/coffee stall with two windows, only one window was open. One lady was working and the first thing she said was, that she had no coffee as they ran out. When the show ended, the queue at that shop was huge, by then the second shopkeeper didn't make much of a difference. Same with the bbq restaurant we got there just before the lunch storm hit and we already had to wait about 20min to get our order and the queue started just behind the door (so really not long). By the time we finished and walked out, the queue was around the corner alongside the building, who knows how long they had to wait. One till. Having two people using the same cash machine is not really efficient. They'd need at least 3, then the queue started on the pick-up side, because the chicken needed longer cooking times. So all in all not very efficient. Two coffee machines (you get a coin at the till) but one machine had an error message in French (needed maintenance, but was still working), that many people couldn't read nor knew how to get rid of the error message. So people started queue on the other coffee machine. A few other food stalls were closed, it was a hot day, I think about 34°C. Hardly any shade anywhere. So in order to get some drinks, a couple of grown-ups had to walk through half the park to get something for the rest of the group, as we tried to find shade with the little kids. If you are not planning the visit ahead, try to avoid too sunny days. Bird show was OK. A bit disappointing that they have so much staff in that arena but then decide to just play a boring recording and then let the birds fly. Other parks actually talk about the birds and give facts about the specific birds on display, also are interactive with the crowd. Here you just sit down, a tape plays, trainers let the birds fly over your head, then they sit down in the middle of the arena and all birds walk out like in a circus good-bye. Not impressed. The range of animals is quite impressive. And beautiful birds, that seem to be kept in good conditions and clean. Butterfly house, and there was a penguin/fish area, which unfortunately was shut down and we couldn't find access to the Australian area with the kangaroos which our daughters desperately wanted to see. The only path we could find to go there seemed to be closed with a gate but no further information. It's also advisable to follow a set path. Going to see what interest you may be too chaotic and it's easy to get lost in the park. Also walking everything multiple times is suboptimal. Oh one more thing... to get out of the park: ONE (!!!) turnstile. Why they didn't just open the bloody gate is beyond me. We had to QUEUE (!!!) to leave the park. Ridiculous.

Good place to spend the day with the family. Make sure to buy your ticket ahead of time or you may be waiting in line for a long time. They are not very organized. The place is in need of renovations, bathrooms are old, dirty.

Our 3rd visit to this park. We love it. Our kids love it. My folks love it. Always something new to see. Always clean. The birds and other animals seem happy and well cared for. Saw one of the shows this time - for the first time - and it was brilliant. We will be going again on our next trip to the area.

Wonderful experience! The bird park is quite good, clean, safe for kids! I recommend. We even bought annual card for 45 euros.

Great place to see birds. However, you should bring your own food and drink because the snack bars there are horrible.

This place is great. I love history. Thus, I liked the place and atmosphere.

Pérouges is a beautifully preserved medieval village that feels like stepping into a fairytale. Cobbled streets, stone houses, ivy-covered facades — every corner is photogenic and full of charm. It’s not big, but that’s part of its beauty: you can wander slowly, take in the atmosphere, and imagine what life was like centuries ago. There are lovely artisan shops, small cafés, and a few restaurants where you can enjoy local specialties — especially the famous galette de Pérouges, which is absolutely worth tasting warm with a bit of sugar caramelized on top. It’s peaceful, authentic, and only a short drive from Lyon — perfect for a half-day or slow afternoon escape. Go early or late in the day if you want to avoid crowds and enjoy the serenity of the place. Highly recommended for anyone who loves history, quiet beauty, and timeless villages.

A lovely stone middle age town, nice for taking a walk but became a bit commercial.

It was quite an interesting tour of this great medieval city before Christmas time. The restaurants and cafes were all decorated for Christmas, and we tried mulled wine in one of the places. At this time of year the city is not so crowded with visitors.

Very interesting place, with a 3-4 restaurants which are full around lunch time, but you can have pancakes with ham or Nutella on the street. It's a beautiful Medieval town, especially during the Autumn because of the colours of the falling leaves.

I could not get enough of this beautiful historic place. I was. Awe around each corner I walked. Simply beautiful. Bring you best pair of waking shoes and a lot of space on your phone to take pictures.

This place is very beautiful and has not a lot visitors. One day trip would be far enough to enjoy entirely of this village. I stayed one night (Wed) and there is no restaurant opening for dinner.
