Very interesting enjoyable experience with this small train. It goes around all famous places in the old town of Avignon. You will be excited about the professionalism of the train’ driver who manages to drive 3 carriages in the very tiny streets, which are too smalls even for people. Trains leave every 30 minutes from the main square next to the Pape Palace from 9am (first train) till 20:00 (the last train during summer period). The ride takes about 45 minutes.

I’ve been visiting Avignon for several years. There are many historic sites that are worth seeing. But it’s also interesting to wander off the beaten path, on back streets and alley ways, and enjoy normal life scenes.

Adorable shop associated with ticket sales for double decker bus and tourist train in town. The shop lady was aloof and stated she spoke no English. Odd for a business titled “Visite Avignon.” Was the most unwelcoming experience during our week here in town. Left immediately after this encounter.

Booked the 10am bus tour and arrived at 9h45. They never opened. Came back at noon, still not open. Only when I requested a refund did someone get back to me to say the bus had an accident. Very poor customer service. It seems this is not the first time they've let people down without notice either, looking at other online reviews.

Great way to see the town in one condensed version. Amicable and pleasant driver. Enjoyed it so much we did it a second time down days later! Kick back and see all there is to see... recommended!

Very friendly driver and great route to see the highlights when traveling with my elderly mother. Highly recommend this 45 minute ride.

One star is even too much for this. Not interesting, just a few (historically) informations (could be much more) and the poor informations aren’t well connected. Wouldn’t recommend, got the informations I desired now from Wikipedia.

An interesting, if slightly disappointing, point of interest. The structure is amazing. A palace and fortress, it commands your attention. However, the interior is sterile. No furniture, tapestries, or frescoes. Only a couple chambers with faded wall coloration. Without the current art exhibition it would be largely colorless. The tour is also relatively short. There must be large sections not accessible to the public. The garden is neat and well cared for, but small. With all this in mind, it is still worth visiting for its historical significance and the architecture. Note: the iPad guidance is quite good. Take time to read the information boards placed throughout the tour. Get tickets in advance online for a timed entry.

Everything is massive in this fortress and palace at the same time that was built in two stages. The Old Palace (1335–1342) built by Pope Benedict XII and the New Palace (1342–1352) Pope Clement VI, the Magnificent. It's one of the largest medieval gothic buildings in Europe. Seven successive French popes resided here between 1309 and 1377, fleeing the political turmoil and insecurity in Rome, When you enter you get a Histopad which is a handy tablet which you can use to navigate through the building. A nice feature is the historic overlay that you activate by scanning a logos in the different rooms. The overlay then shows the situation as it would be in 1352, the year of completion of the palace and the Papal Conclave and Election of Innocent VI after Pope Clement VI died. The rather dull interiors are brightend a bit by modern art. The garden is small and really not worth the extra money you hsve to pay to visit it. It took me two hours to see all the rooms and climb up to the ramparts to get a view of the surrounding area. Oh, and the taste in the 14th century is different from today. Roasted peacock anyone? And a glass of Chateau-Neuf-du-Pape ?

A disrespectful use of this unique historic monument, reduced to a playground for some contemporary artist. The two stars go for the historic significance of this monument and the indeed impressive structure. Unfortunately, it seemed to us that the team assigned with managing this monument was decided to cut any ties to what they must have considered to be embarrassing art from the era when the Palais was at its finest: they basically degraded the Palais des Papes to an exhibition center of contemporary artist Jean-Michel Othoniel. Fact is that none of the visitors went to “Palace of the Popes” to see some modern art exhibition. Instead of investing the money to maintain the rooms and gardens, they managed to destroy the experience. You can’t possibly feel the vibe of the place while constantly being distracted, intruded and violated by some pieces of art, which are basically in the wrong place. The tour is a bit chaotic but we got it sorted out by asking the helpful personnel. The tablets - initially I thought a good idea - turned out to be a semi-functioning annoyance (have to carry it around, too heavy to sit on the neck). I would rather enjoy the monument by “breathing it in”, look at it in awe, not keep scrolling on a tablet. Most signs with explanations were in French. If someone does not appreciate the Christian history, the religious art of that time or might even be embarrassed by all of those uncool people of that period, they probably shouldn’t be involved with managing this site. Let them run a modern art gallery: I would gladly visit it. But just as when I go to the MOMA I don’t expect it to be full of medieval religious art, when I go to the Palace of the Popes I probably don’t expect it to be full of modern art. This here is unworthy: Show some respect to the history and significance of this place and the people who created it. This is not just another playground. Please!

Fascinating collection of buildings in Avignon detailing the time of the 'Avignon Popes' in France. I found the Histopad guide wasn't particularly helpful, but the rest of the displays were great. Interesting artwork integrated throughout. The gardens were especially nice.

Very interesting. So much better than the crazy tourist traffic and the hundreds of tour groups you have to wade through to see the Sistine Chapel. Low fees, no lines, very little crowding, and amazing history. Definitely a not to miss site. We visited the palace, gardens and bridge.

Particularly impressive. The exhibition was interesting alongside the impressive building. You get a tablet with explanations in adapted language and there are explanations. The signage inside the buildings was a bit problematic and sometimes the tablet got stuck and didn't work well, but overall it was lovely.

Magnificent structure. Steeped in history. There is information in every room. You also get a tablet to read about whatever room your in. Would recommend everyone to visit. The garden are quite small but interesting.

A bit difficult to find the entry point. You have to exit the walled part of the city on the north side and find the stairs leading up to the garden and lookout. Currently not wheelchair accessible. Hardly anyone there. It would be a peaceful spot to have a picnic or read a book overlooking the Rhône. Currently some parts are fenced off, and the area looks a bit rundown. There is a great semicircular tiled map indicating important landmarks visible on the horizon and in the environs. However some of the trees have grown so tall you can't see the landmarks!

Absolutely stunning garden do not miss. Giant Koi swim in the waters and the fountains are absolutely lovely. One of the best sites to visit in the City.

Jardin des Doms is a true gem in Avignon, offering a serene and picturesque escape from the city's hustle and bustle. Perched on a hill, this beautiful garden provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Rhône River, the iconic Pont d’Avignon, and the surrounding landscapes. The garden itself is meticulously maintained, with well-tended lawns, colorful flowerbeds, and charming shaded pathways. It’s the perfect place to take a leisurely stroll, relax on a bench, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The layout is both elegant and inviting, making it a wonderful spot for a quiet moment of reflection or a leisurely picnic. One of the standout features of Jardin des Doms is the stunning views it offers. From the garden, you can capture some of the best photo opportunities in Avignon, with the city’s historic landmarks beautifully framed against the backdrop of lush greenery. The garden is also home to several statues and fountains, adding to its charm and providing interesting focal points throughout your visit. It’s clear that a lot of care and effort goes into preserving the garden’s beauty and ensuring that visitors have a memorable experience.

After a short-ish climb you get to see such a beautiful garden and a gorgeous view over Avignon! Remember to try the chocolate cake at the cafe of the garden, and look for the birds and the fish

A beautiful park perch high on top of the hill with great views to the bridge and the Pope's Palace. Lots of space for people to enjoy picnics and to just soak in the sunshine and atmosphere. The white swans are also beautiful.

These are lovely gardens just beyond the Cathedral and almost to easy to miss altogether. There are some stunning views of the bridge and river as well as an interesting exhibition of enlarged black and white photographs dotted around the gardens. There is a delightful cafe in the middle of the grounds alongside a water feature making it a great place to have a sit down whilst having a competitively priced coffee.

This is the most beautiful garden in Avignon, that you can access the bridge. But going up was not easy. Use the access road near the palas papes. Quiete amazing view of the city. I was lucky to capture one of the ducks at the fountain. It's beautiful. Overall its a nice place to visit.

A very quiet over night stop in the Park car park. If it's full there is a overflow car park on gravel very close, but uneven. The park was busy with a school education outing. The info board is interesting, use Google lens to translate the description. The drive up is one way, very narrow at the start with short in height bollards so not suitable to A-class MH, it was tight for a 6m campervan. Getting down the one way system was pretty step as expected.

Colline Saint-Eutrope is a great public park that's situated in the middle of the town of Orange. To reach the top on foot from the center, walk around the Roman theatre and find steps that go uphill. From there, it's quite a steep climb. Once there, the view is enough to make you forget the climb. But there's a few green paths to discover, a children's playground and more.

It is one of the highest points, at 105 m, where the remains of the old castle of the Princes of Orange are located. There is a statue of the vierge Marie and remains of the old castle of Nassau. Its current state in ruins is due to the fact that Louis XIV in 1672 ordered to besiege the citadel and destroy it, in retaliation against Guillaume III, who defended the interests of his nation (Netherlands) and the Protestant religion. From the hill you can see the whole city and the Roman theater in all its majesty.

Gorgeous views of the surrounding area and a fun place for a snack and refreshment. Nice park for the children.

Nice, refreshing climb. Took us about 10 minutes with kids ages 7 to 17. Beautiful view!

Lengthy walk but well worth it.

Absolutely worth climbing the steps and paths to get a great view of the amphitheatre.

Absolutely amazing that this theatre is still standing and so well preserved through history. We loved the audio guide that we could listen to in English and learn more about the history. A must to visit if you are in the area.

Historical & Epic Roman Theater This is one of the best preserved Roman Theaters in Europe. It is 2000 years old, incredible when you see it. They actually still use it for plays, which I find amazing that this theater still serves its original purpose. Highly recommended visit.

Absolutely beautiful! Staff are fantastic and offer audio, visual and virtual reality tour! We bought our own picnic with us as it's allowed! With the tickets you can visit the history museum accross the road for free!

The Théâtre antique d’Orange is one of the best-preserved Roman theatres in the world, built during the reign of Emperor Augustus in the 1st century AD. Located in the town of Orange, Provence, it once seated around 9,000 spectators and served as a center of Roman cultural life. Open year-round with a museum and panoramic views from the upper terraces. Best visited in the morning light for photography or during an evening performance for an unforgettable acoustic experience. *Hidden Details* The Emperor’s Presence: The central niche behind the stage once held a 12-meter statue of Emperor Augustus — not a replica, but a visual reminder that Roman theatre was as much about imperial propaganda as art. A smaller original head fragment is displayed in the site museum. “Echo Wall” Engineering: The stage wall’s limestone blocks were fitted without mortar, creating a natural resonance chamber. Actors didn’t need to shout — the curved design amplified voices perfectly, even to the top seats. Secret Backstage World: Beneath and behind the stage lay corridors, pulley shafts, and trapdoors for stage effects — early Roman “stage machinery.” You can still trace parts of these backstage systems during guided tours. Medieval Reuse: After Rome’s fall, the theatre became a fortress, then a refuge for townspeople during wars. Some homes were literally built into the stands until Napoleon ordered restoration in the 1800s. Ancient Graffiti: On the upper tiers, faint Latin inscriptions and marks made by stonecutters are still visible — craftsmen signed their work or marked seating areas for different social ranks. Acoustic Sweet Spot: Guides often demonstrate that a whisper from the center of the orchestra floor carries clearly to the highest rows — a perfect spot to test Roman sound mastery. Modern Revival: The Chorégies d’Orange festival, revived in 1869, continues the Roman tradition of open-air performances. Modern productions still use the original wall as a natural stage backdrop, with no need for amplification.

What a beautiful place to have a live concert. Also great history. Lots of children on day camp trips, but still not too long of lines. It is very hot in June, but if you tick to the caves where there are many educational exhibits, then it is bearable. I went over a decade ago, and today experience was much nicer. The VR concert experience was a hit with the family.

An excellent example of Roman Ampitheatre architecture still standing today in such excellent condition. The shear size of it is amazing.

Well worth a visit. Astonishingly well kept and still being used today for events, 2,050 years after being built. The tour is excellent.

The oldest synagogue in France. This location was in use since 1342. Very interesting visit.

You have to take a guided tour (90 minutes) for 7 € which are completely worth it. So if you‘re willing to spend the time, you won‘t be disappointed.

Interesting place, presenting not only the temple, but as well the "back office" - places where matza is being prepered, underground river that had been used for ceremonial ablutions. Our guide was very knowledgeable, even though, as he mentioned himself, was not a professional guide but a volunteer. The only drawback - the website says on Wednesdays the tour is guided in both English and French, unfortunately it is not true, our guide told us he couldn't speak English and French during the same visit becouse it would be boring...Whom for? I don't know. Luckily there was a very kind American lady speaking French, she helped us, and translated the most important information to English. Thank you again if you are reading this!

They have a very rigid policy that you must be there at exactly the time of the tour. We were not permitted entry minutes after, as the rules have changed. It is not open 2:30-4, but rather, they have tours you can book at those appointed times. The poor rating is because although we and others were misled by the conflicting information on the internet, they were extremely inflexible about letting small children see inside. Instead, they had to wait 90 minutes until the next tour.

A very interesting and informative tour of a marvellous building steeped in history.

Very interesting interior with a subterranean plunge pool. Real history.

Great people, but didn't talk about jesus at all

Just a 25-minute train ride south of Lyon, the Temple of Augustus and Livia stands as one of France’s most remarkably preserved Roman monuments. Erected between 20 and 10 BCE, this Corinthian-style temple was dedicated to Emperor Augustus and his wife Livia, embodying the grandeur of Roman architecture in the provinces .  Positioned at the heart of Vienne’s ancient forum, the temple features a hexastyle façade with six fluted columns and an elevated podium, reminiscent of the renowned Maison Carrée in Nîmes . Its survival through the ages is attributed to its conversion into a Christian church during the 5th century, later serving various roles including a courthouse and library, before restoration efforts in the 19th century reinstated its classical Roman appearance .

When in Vienne… do as the Romans did! 🏛️ The Temple of Augustus & Livia is over 2,000 years old and still looking gorgeous. From imperial worship to medieval church to Revolutionary theatre – this place has seen it all. And the best part? You can wander up for free and feel like you’ve stepped straight into ancient Rome (minus the toga). Pro tip: swing by at sunset – the golden light on those Corinthian columns is unreal!

Very well preserved temple in the centre of Vienne

Very well preserved Roman temple in the centre of the old town.

Exceptional Roman building that has been remade. In the middle of the city center. A must see.

One of those places that if you’re really into history would be really cool, but if you aren’t you look at it and think “Hey, that’s a cool building!”, take a photo of it, and walk away. Decent way to spend ~5 minutes. Of course, if you’re into this history it is captivating.

An amazing Roman temple situated in a small square in an otherwise unoteworthy French town. Its very simplicity makes it even grander.

Lots of interesting artifacts in the museum and interesting ruins in the surrounding grounds. Probably allow 2-3 hrs minimum but could easily have spent longer. Free audio guide covered inside and out. Helpful staff. Toilets and at least in the 2 outside 'picnic points' the was free drinking water

Overall a nice museum with especially interesting floor mosaics that are in very good shape. A big collection of tools for day to day usage in Roman households. There's free english audio guides but not English written explanations (only French). The outside ruins are less interesting.

A total wow!! The French really know how to honor the past. Beautifully laid out with superb explanations plus a free audio guide. It is staggering to learn the museum was built on the remains of a Roman city. Thank you Vienne for preserving this ancient treasure (s).

There are 2 elements to this museum: (1) The indoor exhibition, (2) Outdoor excavation site. (1) Do pick up the audio guide it provides a vastly comprehensive story of the exhibition and paints the story of Ancient Vienne. Do not forget to go up the stairs to see the large mosaic! (2) A very vast excavated area with plenty to see! With a little imagination the lives and living of the wealthy Romans really comes to life here. Overall a fantastic Museum, 11/10 would recommend! Estimated time needed: 3-4hrs (With audio guide)

Excellent outdoor site and inside museum. Especially appreciated the live water features. If you love Roman mosaics, this is your place. Two suggestions. One, they should tell you the audiogiude covers both inside and outside. Also, a locker would be better than their checkin system. Closed toed shoes for outside better.

Two part museum, one traditional inside part and then the actual ruins outside the museum. The inside part is housed in a modern spacious building, many beautiful mosaics but not so many other items. Many of the signs are in French only which is a bit of a shame (says the English spoken 😉). There is an optional audioguide though. The outside part was my favourite - fantastic feeling to walk along the old roads and think about the similarities between then and now. Many of the signs where a bit weathered and not the easiest to read though, but again an audioguide is available - but I prefer to have my hands free and rather read then listen. Plenty of staff and security people on the site - almost to many... but all friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit

Excellent museum. Outside portion well organized. Inside, many fascinating mosaics

Great Jazz Festival 2025. Went to see Parov Stellar. A little hot due to the heat wave - take water and a hat.

Ale to see Avenged Sevenfold. Probs the best organised outdoor arena in France. Queue moved along with no hassle. Security did a banging job and the Lyonnaise sausage hot dog was delicious. Good beer too. What’s not to love.

Very interesting Roman theatre with great views from the top out over Vienne. Only €3 entry fee & well worth the visit.

Fantastique venue for jazz festival "Jazz a Vienne". Superb location and acoustics, logistics are great with great beers, local food (fries with goat cheese sauce 😍), also great ice creams (chartreuse, banane flambée...), with a very smart setup so that you barely have to wait to get drinks or food. Love it all the way

Beautiful area, short lines to get food and drinks, epic acoustics.

Very historic site we viewed from above at the Pipet. It is well worth a visit as it is not expensive. The stage is used for world renowned Vienne Jazz festival at the end June every year

Great amphitheatre, most of the terracing has been rebuilt in 1920's to give people an understanding of how great it was. Well worth a visit. Still used today for concerts.

Lovely little well known chocolate shop. Has a great reputation in the area. The cakes, chocolates and other goodies are delicious and the Ice creams are great too! Lots of other activities are available if you intend to become a chocolatier.

Excellent

Ok

(Translated by Google) First encounter with the Jouvenal chocolate shop/pastry shop. We first tried the cake. A chocolate cake encased in a vanilla cream. A wonderful combination of flavors. Not too sweet, just how we like pastries. A quality chocolate that's too rarely found in pastry shops. The price seemed very high considering the size of the cake. Then we tried a chocolate and orange peel marmalade cake, with combinations that reminded me of a cake from the chocolatier Bochard when he worked in pastry shops. We were rather disappointed with our experience. The cake is very sweet. The biscuit on the top of the cake doesn't add much in terms of texture. The chocolate part is very good. So why 3 stars... and not 4 or 5, because at this price point, I think I've found something very tasty. We'll be back because we have no doubt about this business's commitment to delighting us. (Original) Première rencontre avec la chocolaterie / pâtisserie Jouvenal. Nous avons tout d’abord testé le cake. Un cake au chocolat qui enferme un crémeux de vanille. Un très bel accord de goûts. Pas trop sucré comme on aime les pâtisseries. Un chocolat de qualité comme on en trouve trop rarement en pâtisserie. Le prix me semble très élevé au regard de la taille du cake. Puis nous avons testé un gâteau chocolat et marmelade d’écorces d’orange, sur des accords qui m’ont fait penser à un gâteau du chocolatier Bochard du temps où il œuvrait en pâtisserie. Plutôt très déçu de notre expérience. Le gâteau est très sucré. Le biscuit de la partie supérieure du gâteau n’apporte pas grand chose du point de vue texture. La partie chocolatée est très bonne. Alors pourquoi 3*… et pas 4 ou 5, parce qu’à ce niveau de prix j’estime trouver quelque chose de très bon gustativement. On reviendra car on ne doute pas de l’engagement de ce commerce à vouloir nous régaler.

(Translated by Google) A superb and attentive welcome with original and desirable products... a detour that was worth it and a delighted wife this morning. (Original) Un accueil superbe et attentionné des produits originaux et qui font envie… un détour qui valait le coup et une épouse ravie ce matin.

(Translated by Google) Excellent quality pastries. The only downside is the price. I know they do everything to favor local and organic products, but when I see the price of the bomb and the fact that it gets smaller every year... (Original) Pâtisserie d'excellente qualité. Le seul bémol, c'est le prix. Je sais qu'ils font tout pour privilégier le local et le bio, mais quand je vois le prix de la bombe et le fait qu'elle rapetisse d'année en année…

(Translated by Google) The chocolate is delicious! The welcome was very pleasant, the saleswoman even gave us a box and a frozen bottle of water because we were coming from far away and it was very hot, thanks to that we were able to bring these delicacies home 😋 (Original) Le chocolat est délicieux !

very nice

great place to come with family

(Translated by Google) I recommend it for very hot days, because the walk is mostly done under the trees and the relative coolness of the forest. A small part of the castle can be visited and the park with its animals is very pleasant for a family outing. Walk around the pond possible, and in the arboretum (closed at certain periods), interesting nature display... I did not see any toilets or water point: so plan ahead before coming, and no payment by credit card. I had a good time discovering (Original) Je conseille pour les jours de grosses chaleurs, car la promenade se fait en majorité sous les arbres et la relative fraîcheur de la forêt. Une petite partie du château est visitable et le parc avec ses animaux est très agréable pour une sortie en famille. Balade autour de l'étang possible, et dans l'arboretum (fermé à certaines périodes), affichage nature intéressant... Je n'ai pas vu de toilettes ni de point d'eau : donc prévoir avant de venir, et pas de paiement en CB. J'ai passé un bon moment de découverte

(Translated by Google) Well decorated castle, educational cellar, and pleasant park, immersion with certain animals, spacious enclosure for others but all the animals remain clearly visible. Pleasant walk, several routes available of different distances. Toilets on site. No credit card. €12 adult, €10 child. Bring good shoes and avoid strollers with children. We will come back, it was a very good afternoon (Original) Chateau bien décoré, cave pedagogique, et Parc agréable, immersion avec certains animaux , enclos spacieux pour d'autres mais tous les animaux restent bien visibles. Promenade agréable, plusieurs parcours disponibles de différentes distances. Toilettes sur place. Pas de cb. 12€ adulte 10€ enfant. Prévoir bonne chaussures et éviter les poussettes avec les enfants. On reviendra , ce fut un très bon après-midi

(Translated by Google) Park with a circuit big enough for you to spend a day there with a class. Quite a few animals including semi-free deer that approach you. Some explanations by the owner of the place on certain animals. A place to picnic, toilets, a room to take shelter in case of bad weather. About 45 minutes from Lyon. (Original) Parc avec un circuit assez grand pour que vous puissiez y passer une journée avec une classe. Pas mal d'animaux dont des daims en semi liberté qui s'approchent de vous. Quelques explications par le propriétaire des lieux sur certains animaux. Un endroit pour pique-niquer, des sanitaires, une salle pour se mettre à l'abri en cas de mauvais temps. À environ 45 min de Lyon.

(Translated by Google) Chateau visited with my children aged 8 and 6 years old. Beautiful park with trees, well laid out, we were lucky enough to see most of the animals who looked in great shape. We started the visit with a quick tour of certain rooms of the castle, with panels telling its history. Then a very interesting exhibition on plants and plants is present in the castle cellar. Finally we arrive at the castle park with a diversity of animals and plants. Signs are there to present the animals as well as the plants that we encounter on our way, which is very pleasant. (Original) Chateau visité avec mes enfants de 8 ans et 6 ans. Beau parc bien arboré, bien aménagé, nous avons eu la chance de voir la plupart des animaux qui avait l'air en pleine forme. Nous avons débuté la visite par un rapide tour de certaines pièces du château, avec des panneaux contant son histoire. Ensuite une exposition sur les plantes et végétaux très intéressante est présente au niveau de la cave du château. Enfin nous débouchons sur le parc du château avec une diversité d'animaux et de végétaux. Des panneaux sont là pour présenter les animaux ainsi que les plantes que nous rencontrons sur notre chemin, ce qui est très plaisant.

Very nice and big outlet shopping place, about 40 minutes from Lyon center by train , they have many good brands, coffee shops and restaurants, the prices are very reasonable..it does worth a visit.

Outlet Mall 40 Min from Lyon center Nice mall open area Parking free available Many brand in average price Also restaurants is available

The prices are not the best, can find cheaper prices at Printemp with the sales! The service is good, mid range items. But I find the place poorly designed, poor wifi coverage and data doesn’t have signal inside the shops. Can’t find the reception for tax refund. Not tourist friendly. Mainly French crowd. Would I come back? Maybe. With better signage. They should consider hourly shuttle from the train station to make it more accessible. A notch lower than the other established outlets in Europe. If only prices can be cheaper by 10-20%, then it would be worth it.

Great outlet, one of the best I have been to so far. It’s pretty small for an outlet but had a lot of good options for winter clothes and ski clothes in particular. They have an interactive map stands and a lot of places to seat. There is a big food court as well. Commute form Lyon is not super convenient (it’s a 20 mins walk from the station if you don’t have a car) but it’s expected for an outlet

nice place, enough shops, diverse shops, clean

This opinion is dedicated to the reception only, and implies only my own point of view. The woman receptionist (the oldest one) is very rude. She is supposed to represent the whole mall center but she doesn’t have any skills in communication and quality of service. Her way of speaking to customers is very direct, before even introducing your question, she does find problems and say things like «  ah non non non on ne fait pas ça ici » /«  no no no we don’t do that here ». She is not helpful nor nice to people. She really needs to be trained in serving customers or find another job that fits her. We come often to The Village but going through the detax service is a real pain… she is very hasty, I really can’t understand why she is at the reception desk

Amazing shopping mall! Overpriced and impractical. My young adult daughter only found one store with somewhat reasonably-priced clothing. The fountain show with music was beautiful and the mall is clean and gorgeous.

This chocolatier gets only 4 stars cause it’s really pricey. I spent lots of euros there and felt like I was buying a cat in the sack cause I could not taste the flavors. The shop is exquisitely arranged and Flavia spoke English and explained what the different types of chocolate are. I ordered a sphinx dessert and it was absolutely delicious. The pastry rates equally amongst other fine patisseries I’ve eaten at.

The best chocolate I had in my Life !! Truly makes me happy, the taste, texture , the quality !

Lovely store, but pricey. Good chocolates and lots of other goodies. Consummate salespeople, you could walk out with stuff you never intended to buy! Our son was always treated well with lots of little free candy.

The staff were so friendly and we managed to understand each other despite the language difference. I can wait to try the chocolates and the croissant was amazing!

Just received a package in Greece, with the following chocolates, as seen on the photo. I have just tried the yellow one and I can not describe how I felt. First of all, you do not bite it, you just let it melt in your mouth. After I had a couple of pieces by jaw went numb and the hair in my body stood up. It has been now 10 mins later and the feeling is still there. This is the reason I HAD to write this review. Everyone should taste this and experience true chocolate bliss. I can not describe the feeling and the sensation. After you try Bonnat chocolates, all other chocolates feel like a very cheap imitation.

Simply the greatest chocolatier in the world! The staff is always friendly and helpful. Plus, they infuse Chartreuse into some of the desserts. Bonnat is a must-have.

Quite simply the best chocolate you can buy anywhere. One of a few chocolate makers that make their chocolate from cocoa beans directly and not from couverture. 20 or so single origin chocolates. The factory shopfront near Grenoble is a charming tea room and pastry shop. Their cakes are fantastic: Sphynx and Succès the top specialties.

Very fun! A little bit expensive for the Game of Karts, you have to pay for 8 even though you’re a group of 5 (280€). They do not ask other people if they want to join. Next time we will do regular karting.

Really fun, the carts and track were well maintained. Antho was very helpful and made the day much more fun!!

This track was insane! Hills, winding roads fast karts and amazing staff. Really friendly and helpful

Very nice location! I tried the electric carting and we were there early, so we had the whole place just for us. The circuit is nice, the overall system is also a nice addition. Would like to come here again.

Super cool Anto Super piste

Absolutely brilliant Efficient, safe and great fun karting

Went here for a celebration with 10+ people. They booked me in over the phone with a few days notice, they allowed us to pay on the door and as only a 80% arrived on time, allowed us to just pay for the 80% rather than the full booking estimate, when the other 20% of the group turned up they simply allowed them to pay and jump into the next session moving other Karters to another session to make sure we stayed all together. I've been to a number of karting places as this group of mine go regularly, this was an incredible venue to attend. The track is phenomenal and allows skillful drivers to take full advantage of it, the karts are fast (270cc) and the staff are kind generous and accommodating, their employer should be proud of the standards set. If you are thinking about booking this place, stop hesitating and just book it if you want to guarantee a good experience.

Having visited many major zoological sites, it is always nice to see a place that makes an effort to improve the quality of life of the animals, particularly the large cats. This place is not the best I've seen, but it's not the worst either. There are a few signs discussing their efforts and more could be done to better clarify this essential element for visitors. Includes a decent play area for small children and an acceptable variety of animals to see, with a strong focus on felines!

Very nice small zoo. I have spend around two hours there. A lot of owls and wild cats. I saw one wolf. I really liked the white tiger. Throughout the park there are playgrounds for children, and inflatable castle. There is a little farm inside where kids can caress animals. Maybe it would be nice to get the kids more involved on the farm, for example help with the clean up after the animals or brush them. I saw this in another zoo and children really enjoyed to take care of the animals. I didn’t like the exit through a large gift shop.

Wonderful animal park with nice play spaces for kids (the huge ball pit is a favorite). They where rebuilding some enclosures when we visited, but things where clean and well marked. The animations are well organized and interesting! Parking is a little walk, unless you come early and park right in front of the entrance

If you are around with kids it's a good option. However, they need to expand some zones as the big animals does not really have space to run and just walk in circles.

A nice friendly-staff zoo with a lot of carnivores to watch. A bird show that was quite interesting (if you have visited the park des oiseaux in Lyon maybe it's not worth losing your time to watch this as well). Beautiful pic nic area and playground with some shade to rest before you continue your visit!

The best of the best. We had so much fun, the staff is adorable, the shows are for free, many different wild animals (Tigers, Lion, black panther etc.. ) Also too many birds. The prices are affordable even in the restaurant and they take all types of paiements even Chèques ANCV. The place is safe and highly protected.

Great Village Zoo for the family. We loved it. Clean, Great facilities. Highly recommended

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!

Really nice place to visit close to Lyon. Pérouges and these caves make for a cool 1 day visit. The labyrinth inside the caves were the most liked feature of the family. The chapelle at the entrance is really beautiful.

One of the breathtaking wonders of nature! An hour drive from Lyon, this place was precious find. Honestly it is journey through time and space. When you squeeze yourself through the natural maze between rocks, you are not yourself anymore. You can sense a different spirit traversing those thin passages. Just beautiful 😍

Interesting experience, must visit.

Not far from Lyon you can enjoy your whole day there with all natural beauty peace ✌️ clam, it really work to got reference 😇😇

This too beautiful good place for visit

Amazing Caves, well maintained and marked. Some of the places are too narrow, not sure if someone a bit fat can get through.

What an amazing experience we really enjoyed it. You get to explore the cave and travel down tight tunnels it's a load of fun and very interesting. We only found it as we stopped of for the night but will be telling everyone about it and it's very well priced. Well done to the town for this experience

It has everything a campsite should have but just remember to bring toilet paper. Sadly it was very noisy when we were staying with jet ski and motorcycle racing . Great pool with an amusing slide which is all included in the stay. Bar is pleasant with great pizzas. Must try!

Nice place for a family retreat

Peaceful place! Freedom and nature!

Very nice place to visit.

Good food low price

3.5🌟 we reckon. On the way back from Annecy to Grenoble, we decided to stop in Chambery. It was still early. We were pleasantly surprised that the town has lots to offer too. We parked near the main square. As usual, there are lots of restaurants, cafes, ice-cream parlours at the square. Decided to stroll further after our evening drinks. We arrived at the fountain. Most fountains in larger towns we have seen are always grand and somewhat of a center piece. This one is no different. The elephants have their backs again the fountain, which is of course a defensive posture. As if to tell everyone, they are protecting the fountain. Walking further, we were greeted by several other monuments within the town. A worthwhile stopover with many sights to see.

Very beautiful historical fountain ⛲️ 😍 I don't know if the water is potable, but it doesn't look so. I used to sit in the near garden and enjoy reading.

Lovely French town with ample nice places to eat. Follow the brass elephants on the street beside the fountain for a self guided tour, going however quickly you like, to see some lovely old buildings built in typical French style.

A hidden gem in France. This is such a picturesque beautiful little town, with narrow streets and lovely restaurants. Slap bang in the middle of the French Alps.

This is the most famous location in chambery. You can visit all the famous place of chambery near to it. Statue is very fabulous and maintained it very well. Kids enjoying near to it.

La Fontaine des Éléphants in Chambéry is a true gem. The beauty of the sculpted elephants is simply breathtaking and the attention to detail is amazing. The fountain is surrounded by lush greenery, making it a peaceful and serene place to relax. The atmosphere is peaceful and calming, and it's a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. I highly recommend visiting La Fontaine des Éléphants for anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful oasis in Chambéry. Whether you're a local or a tourist, this stunning fountain is not to be missed.

The elephant heads with the steep mountain slopes in the background reminded me of Hannibal's army, climbing the Alps to conquest the ancient Rome. However, these elephants look like Indian elephants which is intriguing, as the ones used by Hannibal in the war against Romans were most probably African elephants (with much larger ears). Then I learned that the monument is actually dedicated to a French mercenary born in Chambery, who made his fortune in India (General Count de Boigne). Interesting monument, anyway! It's the symbol of the city and not to be missed if you're around.

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

Beautiful situated and a very touching church, audio guide.

Although Hautecombe Abbey was founded in the 12th century by Cistercian monks, it's had a chequered history. Apparently it was even turned into a factory making china and other ceramic goods in the early 19th century. Indeed, most of what's visible today dates from the 19th century. There are a few good alabaster pieces but most of the ornamentation has just been copied from medieval stuff situated elsewhere. Frankly there's not much to see here apart from the chapel. However, the site, on the north-western side of the Lac du Bourget, is pleasant enough. There's a gift shop selling mostly Catholic kitsch but no refreshments. The toilet facilities are awful. One lot were completely shut even though we visited at a peak time (Sunday afternoon). The one that was open was so dingy it was necessary to use the torch light on a mobile phone.

Mausoleum abbey of the Savoy family, a place steeped in history on the shores of the lake. The heterogeneous reconstruction in terms of styles gives it a special feature, but maintains a beautiful spirituality. The visit goes with multilingual audioguide and takes 45min. The shop offers a lot of local products to buy. Large car parking with shadow.

Absolutely stunning. The people are friendly and the audio guides are amazing. You can spend a couple of hours here experiencing the calmness and history of this magical Abbaye.

Stunning architecture and amazing nature view around it. This abbaye has been sitting peacefully by the lake since 12th century. Interior design is spectacular. Ceilings and majority of the building are in style of Baroque, a few corners in style of Neoclassicism. There's a entry fee of €4.5. Audio guide device and introduction sheet (option of several languages, which I find it rare in France, very international tourist friendly) are available. Very worthwhile to pay a visit.

We took the boat trip from Grand Port. We would have liked to visit the church at the Abbey, but there were tour groups who were given priority in front of us, we were ignored by the ticket office and ran out of time.

Off the beaten path historic abbey with interesting church that contains alls tombs of the Savoy family. The situation on a cliff overlooking the lake is superb, so don’t miss to walk down to the lake pier to photograph the site above the lake as you will not realize it when visiting otherwise. Another nice point of view is from the road that passes a few hundreds meters above the abbey; stop at Belvedere d’Ontex on D914 for an instaworthy shot. Do mind the closing time over lunchtime.

Glad we came.. the guy gave us tasting of oli, flour and jams! All freshly made.. in front of us.

lovely renovated watermill, very kind and knowledgeable operator. Supremely delicious fresh nut oil to sample. They also sell oil and flour.

Very good oil !!! Taste it.

Nice experience and tasty products!

Amazing

I suggest visiting this place not just for the astronomical view of Saint Pierre D'Albigny and the surrounding farms, but because they also give you a walkthrough book that you take with you and you get to learn about the history of this fortress/ prison. You even get to see the old fashioned toilet styles that were provided for their prisoners, And some of them have been royalty.

Beautiful chateau in a picturesque village. The view of the valley is stunning. The owner of the chateau is a very nice man and will explain a lot about it. We were there during a special weekend with armour demonstrations, medieval games etc. Definitely worth the visit.

Very nice Site. The size is deeply confusing since it looks small at first but one can get lost for more than an hour watching, searching and exploring the castle. Sadly fod any other languages than french only guidebooks are provided but that was still a very nice experience.

Really cool medieval castle you can explore. Walk through tunnels and climb stone spiral staircases. It was last used as a prison so there's a few dungeons to explore. The top of the castle is a really cool combination of towers and a garden. The garden has a "sorcerer's section" with poisonous plants!

Absolutely stunning ruin with a vista to die for high above the plain. Was a prison during 17th and 18th century. No shop or restaurant.

Even from below, as it was too much for me to cycle up, the castle built on a massive hill is a spectacular sight.

Been here a few times and last time the place was closed abd we were lucky as they let us in to visit. Private tour...lol
