Do NOT go up this on a hot sunny day. It’s a glass ball that collects solar gain and is like a sauna. There is no window so the sphere is stifling and it’s difficult to breathe. Fortunately it’s a short ride. Don’t do this if you are claustrophobic.

A brilliant way to see Grenoble, even better at the Citadel at the top.

Téléphérique Grenoble - Bastille in Grenoble is a breathtaking experience not to be missed. The cable car ride offers stunning panoramic views of Grenoble making it a must-do for visitors. The cable car takes you to the historic Bastille fortress, where you can explore history, enjoy delicious dining options, and even embark on mountain hikes. Whether you're into history or simply seeking natural beauty, this attraction delivers an unforgettable five-star experience.

Worth every visit! The view is breathtaking as well as the cable car ride. Don't forget to bring your camera to capture every single moment of your ride! When you reach the top, you will remember this review.

I loved the cable car ride and the nice view that you get. Although the ride is for very short duration, riding it by using day tourist pass is affordable. The view from the hill top is very nice and one can see the entire Grenoble and the snow covered (partly/fully depending on weather) hills. There is a nice meandering jogging way down. If you have time definitely try it to get a different type of hiking experience in the city .

Surprisingly for a Monday there was quite a queue for tickets. Each cable car bubble is pretty small so it felt a bit crowded but always safe. At the top there are great views of the mountains and the city of Grenoble. A few caves to visit too.

Worth the trip up to see this historical city. Make sure you walk down to see so much more. The steps were best unless you have hiking shoes, as the Rick's in the road are sharp.

Fantastic, very touristy nowadays but there are still some hidden gems that are quiet but you’ll need a car to find them (one was through an industrial estate so very hidden). Restaurants are great and people very friendly

This would have been beautiful in the right weather. It was just our luck that we arrived in the height of Summer, at the end of a heatwave and were met with heavy rain and thunderstorms o the water didn't have its famous greenish-blue hue. It is a lovely natural beauty surrounded by mountains.

I was just remembering how much we loved it there last year. My son and I rented bikes and went all around the lake. We also got a pedal boat and took a swim. Saw some young people doing a rope swing jump and did that too. Fabulous.

I took a day trip from Lyon, a great place, I'm sorry I only stayed one day, it's definitely worth 2-3 days! A place not to be missed if you're in the area!

It is a MUST to go, partying, water scakating, swimming and lots of boat cruises around the great lake surrounded by magnificent mountains. 30 min away and your up amongst snowy mountains as early as September.

Absolutely breathtaking! The lake is crystal clear and surrounded by stunning mountains. Perfect for swimming, cycling, and relaxing. Annecy is truly a gem — Can’t wait to return

We love Annecy, always a good spot to relax and enjoy the nature! Great views and lovely people!

The soothing voice of the lake, one hour swimming in it and a sunny day is all I wanted in Aix les Bains. Amazing views and great place to be. It’s just an hour from Lyon by TER trains. Strong recommend it.

Great place to stop on N7 near Machezal. Off road, tree shade & picnic table  good place for a lunch break or rest. Good view of the lake

It is a very beautiful lake, if you are into running its a nice spot

Nice lake. Found it on google maps and visited it. Giid restaurants around and had a great walk.

Great scenery and the water has an optimal wetness.

Super panorama

Er had a very good time in Walibi Rhone-Alpes. The rides are good. The new ride Mahuka ist awesome. The new water-play area is nicely designed with a lot of nice details. I loved the effort in the details of the new area and ride. The other rides in the park makes also a lot of fun. Only the Show LE POUVOIR DE GAÏA do not fit in the entertainment Level with the park. The actors and stuntman are good in their jobs, but the show and story was for kids. There’s a few nice effects and two major stunts, but that’s all. There’s also a few fight choreographies that I saw in other parks better, and to many chatting. And only one Charakter speaks live. I know that shows with these concept runs better, but the entertainment is suffers under these conditions. And the stage is awesome, there so many options to bring that show to a new level of entertainment with the crew and the stage. Please use the chance. All the Employees, at the entrance, the security, in the Shops and at the attractions are very friendly. The Park was not busy at the day but the employees are fast at the attractions so we had only a few minutes to wait. It is nice to see, that the employees working fast at rollercoasters leading to a high guest throughput. As I said, the show-crew is good, but the show must more entertain adults and must have more action.

We visited the park on a mid-week day in August. Overall, it was fun — a bit crowded, but still manageable. Several rides offer a single-rider line, which can significantly reduce wait times. It’s also a good idea to follow the advertised wait times for each ride and plan accordingly. We purchased a ticket that included lunch, which was a nice option and worth it. However, there were a few drawbacks: some rides only open around midday, which is unfortunate, especially on busy days. The weather was hot, but there wasn’t enough shade throughout the park, and there were too few water fountains available for refilling bottles.

Nice amusement park with a good variation of attractions. Several attractions for the small children (also a great water play park), and also nice roal coasters for the dare devils.

Amazing park, extremely high quality coasters. Very friendly staff! The rides are unique and all of them are special and much more intense than the ones at other and bigger theme parks. All of them are unique and you have the possibility to try 3 completely different ride experiences, one of them being an incredibly smooth Vekoma Boomerang.

As I visited almost 200 theme parks Walibi Rhone-Alpes is one of my all time favorite theme parks. I visited it for the fist time two years back with roller coaster club and I was amazed by everything right after I entered the park. I was curious if my impression will be the same when I travelled alone this time. And it was even better. Very friendly staff was giving me small talk on security check, at Mystic station and even Mahuka station. Just because I was wearing my Walibi Holland T-shirt. The park is not big, everything feels very close. The park does not focuse on quatity or size/scale but on quality which I am a huge fan of. Food is delicious. High dive show is very impressive. Theming around Mahuka and Mystic is phenomenal. This park know where to invest and how to run park well. Parking is included in your admission. Number one park in France. No discussion. Highly recommended. Thank you very much for having me. :)

Walibi Rhône-Alpes is a small but beautiful theme park that has flourished in the past few years. The addition of Mystic in 2019 put this park on the map, and the new for 2024 Mahuka gave it a well-rounded ride lineup. Although this park seems to cater more towards families, you can have a lot of fun here as a thrill seeker. Getting to the park with a car is fine, as long as you don't get stuck with some of the closed roads in the area. Getting here with public transport is seemingly impossible, but the parking is free. The park is clean and tidy and has three little themed areas that you can explore. The theming is not out of this world, but I did really like the uniqueness of the Mystic area. The rides are unexpectedly good. Mystic is smooth and fun, although the wait can get annoying when they run it on one train. Mahuka is amazing fun and also has a great capacity considering the trains only hold 9 people. The baggage system is unconventional, but it worked. I also really liked the offering of the Mahuka pass, which was limited to one per person per day so that everyone could have the chance to experience this ride at least once. The only problem I had with this park was the food. There is a beautiful almost restaurant just outside Mystic and we should have just eaten there. Instead, we got some chicken tenders with fries, and those weren't great. This is still an amazing park, and the low height requirements make it perfect for aspiring thrill seekers. I am excited to see what the future holds for Walibi Rhône-Alpes.

I recently visited this amusement park, and I have to say it was one of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had. The roller coaster queues were absolutely ridiculous—over 1.5 hours for a ride that lasted only 3 minutes! It's hard to believe that in this day and age, a theme park can't manage its lines better. To make matters worse, we noticed that some of the seats were marked as "disabled," which seemed like a lazy excuse for lack of proper maintenance. It gave the impression that the park is more focused on profits than on providing a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Speaking of profits, the fast track tickets for over €7 per ride felt like an outright scam, exploiting the long wait times instead of addressing the underlying issues. It’s frustrating to see a park take advantage of its visitors like that. When we finally got hungry and decided to grab a bite, the situation only got worse. The lines for the fast food restaurants were just as long—about an hour wait for some of the worst cheeseburgers I've ever had. They were cold, seemed precooked, and honestly tasted like they had been sitting in a fridge for days. I've had better quality food at gas stations! To top it all off, the security personnel were rude and unhelpful when we had a simple question. It was clear that customer service was not a priority for them. Overall, I left the park feeling frustrated and cheated. With such long waits, poor food quality, and a lack of courteous staff, I cannot recommend this amusement park to anyone looking for a fun day out. Save your money and go somewhere that values its guests!

One of those places you come upon and it blows you away. The creation of a magnificent structure over 33years by a postman which leaves its legacy for others to see. His quaint messages for life are significant in today's world

Very interesting surreal place to visit and explore. There are lots of intricate and whimsical details to look at and enjoy. It's really cool to see one person's dedication to building something that he dreamt about and put his life efforts into.

Stunning project of a very dedicated postman. Truly a place to let your imagination take flight.

Le Palais Idéal du Facteur Cheval, or the Ideal palace of postman Cheval. This place is a hidden gem of the art i like. Do you like Escher, Dali, and Gaudi? Then you will enjoy this 'Palace'. Don't be fooled, though. It's not that big or will keep you interested for an entire day, but it is a must-see if you are in the neighborhood.

Cool castle made of polished stones, worth a detour. A colossal solo work of 33 years by the horse mail man.

sadly no dog allowed (would be enough if they could go to the garden, but not inside the castle). small, today was a bit overcrowded, despite a weekday, but interesting place. the shop is disappointing, I didn't find anything ehat I liked and I buy usually in these shops something. buy your ticket in advance, so you get in quicker. enough free parking slots.

Very beautiful, naive art is awesome. It is a fantasy place, a place which shows, that all the dream can come true.

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.

I have mixed feelings about zoos, I went because my company organized a visit. First time in my life I've been in the presence of a gorilla, no more than a few meters away. First time I've seen a gorilla eating fruits and.... yogurt? This gorilla was being hand fed by the owner of this zoo, Mr. Pierre, he was feeding her inside her room it was fascinating to see. First time I've seen a lion run firsthand, and very upclose. And last but not least, first time I've heard a group of 10+ chimpanzees quarreling, calling out and "screaming". This zoo gave me a sense of humbleness and some sort of primal fear I've never felt before. It made me realize how majestic and imposing these animals can be, yet how beautiful they are too. I liked the back story too. I hope they are truly living up to their mission. I'm still thinking about what I saw.

Amazing place to visit. It’s recommended for all the family. Great views and animals are treated in an excellent way

Very nice zoo! The zoo was larger than I expected and had a nice range of animals. I really enjoyed seeing the Sun Bears and all of the monkeys.

What a great zoo. Never seen so many active animals at a zoo before. The tigers and lions were magnificent and playing with each other rather than just sleeping or pacing. Good close up viewing with all the animals. Also it's obvious that the zoo is expanding their enclosure space so it'll be interesting to see what it looks like the next time we return. Well worth the entrance fee and we will definitely return when we are in this area.

Good zoo close by Lyon. The zoo offers some great species of animals, but I think the price is too high. You can spend a couple of hours here, but the park is small and completed within 2 hours. We missed a bunch of animals, despite taking the time to spend extra time in the park after finishing the route. We missed the coatis, servals, binturongs, dingos and some more. Very poor habitats for some animals and some animals did not seem to have any space, like the ocelots. We did really enjoy seeing the snow leopards and the arctic wolves. The park smells bad in a lot of places and the hygiene in the toilets is just bad. For such a price we expected clean toilets somewhere, but it was very poorly maintained. Parking is free. €18,50 is too much in this case, but it’s not a total waste. Hopefully it is being used for future wellbeing of the animals.

Beautiful clean zoo, animals are well looked after, very reasonably priced... Great day out

Conservation focused zoo with quite a lot of interesting primate exhibits (amongst a lot of other types of animals). Big enough that you can spend a few hours here but also not so big that it has to take up your entire day. The zoo is positioned up a hill so there is some elevation change during your walk through but the park is entirely accessible (wheelchairs of course, but that means also strollers too Mamas… even enough room through entrances and pathways for huge American double strollers). And the layout of the enclosures up the hill allows for really good viewing of the animals in their enclosures.

When I visited it was a free admission day. The museum is impressive, good quality exemplars , exhibition are for every age. On the roof they have a nice cafe and you can enjoy the view from the top.

This is by far the best museum I have been to. The exhibition, the design and the presentation are very modern and easy to digest. Plan plenty of time. We spent almost 5 hours here and it was not enough.

If you’ve ever wanted to touch both a meteorite AND a fossil without getting kicked out of a museum, this is your chance. Don’t hesitate. A brilliant museum all around: science, history, culture & more. There’s something for everyone.

very intresting and informative visit. All the exbits well explained in French and English. the building itself is cool. Do go to the 4th floor and admire the views. They had a information set on my name and saint i was named after

This might be one of the best modern museums I went to, really! It's very complete and I think kids would love it- there were a lot of enthusiastic ones when we went, at least. Their permanent expositions are very well detailed and easy to navigate, they're mostly about natural history, anthropology and culture, not much art history, or at least I didn't find one. Everything has french and english explications. On the entrance to each permanent exposition, there was a guide who would give a general feel of the pieces, and they could speak English too! Their temporary expositions were interesting and very well done, we went to the Amazon and the dreams ones, both very interesting. We didn't have to pay extra for these. They had elevators for all stages, and there were a lot of audio explanations too. On the terrace there was a lovely - albeit a bit expensive - cafe, with nice views. If you're not hungry, the terrace is included on the ticket price anyway, so you should go at least for the view. A must see in Lyon, for sure!

Amazing exhibitions. This was my second time here and it felt like the first. Thoughtfully arranged and curated museum perfect for all ages. The current Zombies exhibition is one of a kind.

Interesting permanent and temporary exhibitions with lots of interactive elements - especially liked the Species wing of the permanent exhibits. Ticket price was reasonable (12 Euros) and the 4th floor outside terrace views are worth the price of admission! Oh yeah, and it has the most innovative shape for a museum!

Really enjoyed my visit here - so many interesting exhibits and things to see. I think the best part is the fact that the films referenced and the props from the films are films that are very well-known, not just random French films. Would highly recommend to people as an activity in Lyon, however my one small issue was that we bought tickets in advance but still had to line up in the same queue as everyone else, so buying a ticket in advance was fairly pointless, only decreased the price slightly. But other than that really loved it.

AMAZING! I think should be a must do when you visit Lyon with kids or just if you like movies and a different type of art. They have created incredible mini and real size scenes from movies and normal life things! A different way to know history as well! We went without tickets and ending paying less because they have a family packet. If you are 2 adults and one or more kids, it is definitely cheaper.

Worth visiting. You should go and see everything they placed in the museum. At first we enjoyed the props & artifacts from famous movies. However what we liked most is the miniature room, carefully detailed and amazinggg

Incredible and unique museum. They have some really cool pieces from films, which are still interesting to look at even if you haven’t seen them. The miniature section was a good surprise also—they are so detailed and realistic! While it is a bit on the more expensive side, it’s worth it and it is an independent business.

Walking through this museum felt like stepping straight back into my childhood (I was born in the mid-80s), and it was nothing short of magical. From Star Wars to Batman 1989, from Aliens to Beetlejuice, the collection is packed with iconic treasures that instantly spark memories of the films that defined an era. According to one of the staff, the Darth Vader mask here is the only original one on public display today, that alone is worth the visit! What sets this place apart is how personal it feels. I love the great art museums of France, but this was different, so much more relatable. Every piece triggered a wave of nostalgia, reminding me of movies I adored and had nearly forgotten, and reigniting the sense of wonder that first made me fall in love with cinema. These films came from the golden age of moviemaking, where practical effects and early CGI blended to create timeless magic that today’s movies rarely capture. Seven floors are filled with cinematic history, and while you can see it all in about 1–2 hours, it’s the kind of place where you’ll want to linger at your favorites. For me, highlights included the Darth Vader helmet, the full Batman 1989 suit and vehicles, the wonderfully complete Beetlejuice exhibit, and the jaw-dropping animatronic Alien that makes you feel like you’re right on set. Seeing Thor’s hammer (Mjolnir), Iron Man’s glove, and nods to classics like Indiana Jones, Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, The Mask, and even Fast & Furious only added to the thrill. If you grew up with movies from the late 80s through the early 2000s, this museum is pure nostalgia wrapped in cinema magic. It’s a time machine back to Saturday nights at the theater or trips to Blockbuster, and it will leave you smiling long after you leave. I can’t recommend it highly enough. As a bonus, all the staff that work there are friendly, knowledgeable and passionate! Update: the top floor which houses the miniatures was closed when we arrived for renovations. If this is important to you, come back when they are completed.

At first I thought it was quite expensive, but it was really worth it! They had original sceneries, props costumes, and of course, the miniatures, which were really amazing to see. Everything was really well indicated, it was easy to navigate, even with our bad french. Some of the items haf indications in English, but not all. All props had access for kids to see, too. It wasn't crowded when we went, it was a Tuesday, so we could enjoy ourselves in our own pace and there was no need to book in advance. Don't miss on the patio outside, which is free and really beautiful as well!

fantastic experience! is very interesting and fun, perfect for people who loves cinema! staff is very friendly and they speak english very well so its perfect for tourists. there is a toilette in every floor, and also a dog bowl! i enjoyed it a lot!!

The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière is one of Lyon’s most iconic landmarks, visible from almost anywhere in the city. Personally, I usually find the interiors of Orthodox churches more spiritual, but this basilica’s interior really amazed me — it’s beautiful and inspiring. The exterior is just as impressive, and the panoramic view over Lyon from the top is fantastic. You can get there easily by tram, or hike up if you prefer (which I’d also recommend). Nearby, the Roman Theatre and archaeological site are free to visit and very well preserved. Both the basilica and the ruins are definitely worth seeing.

Arriving late evening in Lyon, our Uber driver took us here on a quick detour to our hotel ‘because it is so very beautiful, and you guys can see view of Lyon skyline from there’. Indeed it was a beautiful Basilica, majestic even in the dark of night. Indeed it was an impressive view of Lyon. Very grateful of him, blessed his soul. I got the chance to go back the next morning, and although did not got the chance to go inside, my appreciation grew even more about the opportunity to visit. A must go when you are in Lyon. If your hotel is not nearby, they have tram from the city center that stops directly in front.

Beautifully located on top of a hill, and Best to take an Uber to get there. There is also a vista point on the side of the church with great views of the whole city. If you can walk down the hill, you can visit a nice museum with an outdoor Greek theatre. You can also take a short cut and walk the stairs down the hill

Lovely place to visit in Lyon. Get a day ticket for € 6.90 and couple of trains later you are there. Beautiful views of the city (sunset as well). Basilica is amazing. Don't compare it with Vatican however it is grand in its own way.

It is a marvelous place to visit even when you are not Christian. The interior of the basilica Notre-Dame of Fourvière in Lyon, is tremendously high. The walls are astonishing and it drops your mouth down to the floor. I have not taken many pictures inside because my eyes were focused on all the tiny details in each stunning things my eyes would lay eyes on. If one thing to visit in Lyon, it clearly is there and Paul Bocuse Market^^.

What a beautiful basilica one has the pleasure to see, adore and to participate because during our vist a mass was held. The church has an endless history to show, not only in the holy Christian sense but also in its rich architectural designs. A real treat to be there.

Until you take your breath away, what an impressive basilica it is. A great architectural construction. It is definitely worth a visit. And to pray in peace. May St. Mary be vigilant.

Awesome museum ! I highly recommend doing a guided visit. You will go underground and see how a charcoal mine is. The guide was very nice and very informative.

Well worth a visit, and walkable from city center. The guided tour was superb, so consider booking in advance!

This museum is a former coal mine. Super interesting to visit if you pass by and you are interested in this kind of stuff. If you book in advance a guided tour (organised by the museum), you will also have the opportunity to visit a replica of the mine galleries, which includes a short underground train ride (underground facilities are not open to visitors with a regular entry ticket, guided tour only). Suitable for children. Everything is in French, though.

Very interesting place! Worth visiting for sure. Sadly we couldn’t visit the mine itself which would have been great to see.

Dirty, neglected, the QR codes don't work, you can't go down into the mine...

It is the museum which tells us about the history of Saint Etienne..... Wonderful place, must visit if you are here

Very interesting bit of French/European history. The guided tour we took was in French, didn't ask if they offer in other languages but you can visit everything top side without the guide.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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)

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.

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.

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.

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

Nice little shopping area on our stop over. Recommended

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

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.

I liked it, but I was surprised to find at the end that the underground tour part wasn't actually authentic, but just a recreation. Shame they can't send you down the actual pit like many mine tours do. I guess this one the shafts have been capped or is otherwise unsafe. That said it was very well done.

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.
