A really great place to spend a couple of hours. Very nice, welcoming team. The tree routes go from easy to very hard and everything in between.

The best park of this type I have been to. Great for all ages, lots of routes the kids loved it.

Large complex, beautifully situated in a wooded valley. Very nice operator, there is always someone helping if needed. Many different sections available in nine difficulty levels. Also out of season, September and October, open three days a week.

Great fun, some scary high ropes though!!

My kids had a blast. Wish they had something like this in California

Fantastic. Friendly staff and great activities.

Good place for children

Great toy museum. Lots to look at including interactive learning for the little ones. Games room is wonderful (for all ages). Our two year old had so much to do, and we had lots of fun playing with lots of old table games. Good price too! Would recommend to all.

We didn't have time to go in to the museum, but the river beside is very fresh.

We were looking for a stop to amuse an 8 year old and we weren't disappointed. There was a selection of lovely hand crafted wooden toys for all ages to play on and to buy, but best of all was their salle de jeux - a games room full of amazing wooden games - pinball, Japanese pool and so many more.we spent all afternoon in there!

Lovely people, museum du bois absolutely fabulous.

Surprisingly original , very childfriendly, also interesting and a lot of toys , good fun

Interesting place for young and old.

Very helpful people. Can speak English which was a big help. Gave good advice

Good motorhome parking nearby and the section about the Cathar religion is well worth a visit.

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Very good, good telephone reception, well informed about the rental of via equipment! THANKS :) (Original) Très bien, bon accueil téléphonique, bien renseignée pour la location de matériel de via ! Merci :)

(Translated by Google) Thank you for the welcome and the information provided on the visit to Sidobre and the footbridge. This helped us a lot. (Original) Merci pour l'accueil et les informations fournies sur la visite du Sidobre et la passerelle. Cela nous a bien aidé.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting, especially the room of castle models. The story should be simplified for children through comic-book style sketches, as well as for newbies. No problem for me, I'll come back. 👍 (Original) Très intéressant, surtout la salle des maquettes des châteaux. Il faudrait simplifier pour les enfants l'histoire par des croquis genre bandes dessinées, ainsi que pour les néophytes.Pas de problème pour moi, je reviendrai. 👍

(Translated by Google) Very well received. We had the opportunity on several occasions to go to this tourist office. Always well informed and served. Special mention for the pretty posters on leftovers which have been placed in our home. (Original) Très bien accueillis. Nous avons eu l'occasion à plusieurs reprises de nous rendre à cet office de tourisme. Toujours bien renseignés et servis. Mention spéciale pour les jolies affiche sur le délainage qui ont pris place dans notre domicile.

Lots of really interesting Information avaable in French and English. I think unfortunately said information isn't shown in an especially engaging manor. I'd imagine historical artifacts from the era are difficult to acquire but maps, replicas and displays would go along way to enhance a clearly fascinating subject.

The one and only museum about the Albigeois crusade and the cathar "heresy", in reality a nice depiction of this more open minded, primitive Christian movement of the 11th century in the middle age and the influence it has on monastery life, relationship betweem church and lay people and on the creation of the inquisition and the Dominican order. Sadly the bons hommes and bonnes femmes are not here anymore to share their culture and faith.

The "Maison des Mémoires" shows not only the recent history of bourgeois life in Mazamet, but also the history of the Cathars. Very impressive the models of the cathedral castles as well as the extensive information on the upper floor of the museum, which inform a little about the life and the mental attitude of the Katharer. A visit to the museum is definitely recommendable and the city of Mazamet and the historical region are beautiful and a worthwhile holiday destination.

I have been intetested in the Cathars for many years—and while this museum did not have artifacts or much “new” information about the Cathars it is well worth visiting. I still think Montsegur is the place to visit to get the feeling of the Cathars and read about them before visiting.

Great small museum. Carefully assembled to inform as well as to clear outdated beliefs about the Cathars and the Albigensian crusade. Written signs are in French, but the booklet for the museum is in English. There are tablets with generally brief explanations in both languages, which are WELL WORTH watching. There is one lengthy clip of a Consolamentum service. This is a society that left little physical evidence of its passing, so assembling a cohesive display took serious thought. Worth the 1.5 hour trip from Toulouse. The town is charming with nice folks and food.

Very specific subject so wouldn't interest everyone. For me it was fantastic. Well presented in both French and English. Very well organized in step by step teaching method.

When you have read a book of the cathars, you won't find anything new here

A beautiful setting with bars, restaurantes and childrens play area. Fantastic water to swim in.

Lovely swimming lake, with plenty of snack bars, picnic spots and activities for the kids. One part of the lake has life guards in the summer. Parking can be difficult on a hot day in the summer holidays.

This place is cool. There’s mini golf (putt putt) and a zip line thing. The beach is ok, a bit rough. But it’s a beautiful lake.

Great little lake up in the Black Mountains. Good hour's walk around it. In the Summer there're tree climbing courses and crazy golf.

The family had a fantastic time here in 30oC+ heat... It was busy busy busy (bank holiday weekend) but that's to be expected.

A very peaceful and calm place to visit. Lake can be swam in . Places to eat and drink.

Very nice place where to spend day out

Pretty awesome suspension bridge with a 30 mins walk to get up to it. The medieval village was a bit of a disappointment though..... Not a lot to look at and everything closed when we were there in March. Good campervan parking area down below.

The paths are very steep. Anyone with physical issues will find this walk difficult to impossible to navigate. If you are going to take this walk, hiking boots or trainers are essential. You will also need bottled water.

You must walk a bit up the hill to reach the passerelle, but it’s manageable for most. And the passage and view is worth the effort!! The passage itself is not difficult: the bridge does literally not move in the wind and it is not very wide - still quite high. And it’s free! On the other side (after climbing a bit more) you reach Hautpoul, also totally worth a visit. With the visit of the medieval village it takes way more than an hour, but who’s in a hurry? And the way back is just going down, so easy peasy.

We went there with our parents. There were 2 paths, one that is steep and the other one more flat. The bridge and view were breathtaking ! However, if you come by car and park at the parking, you'll have to climb down the same way you went up.

Excellent walk and climb across the suspension bridge. Lovely small village at top with a few restaurants and bars.

So cool and beautiful place! The bridge is huge and scary a bit but it was definitely worth it! Recommend to visit this amazing place :)

The paths on either side of the footbridge can be quite rough. they are also steep. You can park for free. It is a super experience and the village of Hautpoul is delightful, although, again, the roads are quite steep. If you would like to eat try The Tavern just at the beginning of the actual village. Lovely people and food is well prepared and reasonably priced

(Translated by Google) A family-friendly course, with plenty of slides and jumps (up to 5 meters!). The water was cool and felt good in the wet weather, even with a quality wetsuit. The instructor was friendly and knowledgeable about the course; we felt safe with him. It was a great experience; I can't wait to do it again! Thank you so much. (Original) Parcours familial, avec ce qu'il faut de toboggans et sauts (jusque 5m ! ) L'eau était fraîche et faisait du bien par temps lourd, avec une combinaison aquatique de qualité. Moniteur sympathique et fin connaisseur du parcours, on se sentait en sécurité avec lui. C'était une très bonne expérience, il me tarde déjà d'en refaire ! Merci beaucoup.

(Translated by Google) A perfect accompaniment for a good family via ferrata in Mazamet. Yannick is at the top and takes the opportunity to give you a little history of Mazamet. Go there with your eyes closed (well almost because for the via ferrata it’s better to keep one eye open 😉) (Original) Un accompagnement parfait pour une bonne via ferrata en famille sur Mazamet. Yannick est au top et en profite pour vous donner un peu d'histoire sur Mazamet. Allez y les yeux fermés (enfin presque car pour la via ferrata vaut mieux garder un œil ouvert 😉)

(Translated by Google) We did canyoning and via ferrata in really nice settings and guided by Yannick, a lover of nature and his profession. We quickly become comfortable. First canyoning, it was really great, not to mention the via ferrata route with beautiful views. Come and try it, I recommend it. Thanks again Yannick (Original) Nous avons fait le canyoning et via ferrata dans des décors vraiment sympa et guidé par Yannick, un amoureux de la nature et de son métier. On est vite à l'aise.

(Translated by Google) We spent three wonderful half-days thanks to Yannick, who is an instructor that I highly recommend. A first canyoning of 2h30 with our children and my niece, aged 10 to 15. A second of 4h30 with our older children only. And finally, the via ferrata which was a first for us. Yannick is very educational, very attentive to safety. He is also particularly friendly. We all loved practicing these activities in these conditions. Many thanks and we look forward to coming back to the region. (Original) Nous avons passé trois formidables demi-journées grâce à Yannick, qui est un moniteur que je recommande vivement. Un premier canyoning de 2h30 avec nos enfants et ma nièce, de 10 à 15 ans.
