The 19 best things to do with kids in Carcassonne

The lake is beautiful, though many activities had finished at the end of August before our visit. At high season there's the lake walk, paddle boarding, water skiing with jumps, zip wire, floating inflatable water slide. There's a public loo (no paper or soap! Take your own!) The cafe at the water ski Jerry was nice and did ice cream, soft drinks, snacks, drinks, wine & beer as well as full meals etc and was beautifully situated and the staff were nice. We walked from Carcassonne - brisk 90 mins route via Carcassonne tourist board app - and would have liked to take the bus back. The regional bus app encouraged us to buy tickets on the app - these were not valid on the bus, the driver could not accept cards and I did not have €2.40 in change, so we had to walk back. The driver wasn't really very nice about it either and didn't really try to communicate with me about a resolution or even explain the problem properly, so I would like to see clearer information on the bus company app to avoid in future. I'm sure many tourists would like to know this! You also need to stand on the opposite side of the road to the bus stop, which isn't made clear either.

Nice walking area. Has zip wire and inflatable slides etc. Toilet facilities had been vandalised when we visited.

Got ready and prepared and turned up only to find out that the entire lake (apart from the water park somehow) is off limits for swimming, with barriers preventing access to the water. Was told by someone it’s toxic. Of course, none of this was mentioned on the Carcassonne tourism board, which lists the lake as something to do and somewhere to swim. Wouldn’t want to scare off the tourists now, would we? Would give a 0/5 if possible. Shamefully deceptive tourist board frankly.

Beautiful lake in nature ruined by building a horrible water park blasting out music and noise. Visitors to the lake are only allowed to swim in a small area which gets busy and crowded. Disappointing.

Fantastic place to spend the day

It is a sand beach in a lake, therefore the water is sweet. We did not go for the water attractions, there are few of them, neither the restaurant. Just staying in the beach was good enough. There are public toilets you can use and they are fairly clean

Well worth a visit. We went on a hot day in early August. We got there early (like 9:30ish) and it did start to get a bit busier, but not rammed. But the beach is really nice and clean, the lake water was lovely. There's the big inflatable thing there, but we didn't go on that (but it was fun watching people using it), there are kayaks and pedalos to rent too, and a food and drink van (I think that opened at 10) Really nice morning out on a hot day, and free! A fun place and only a short drive from Carcassone. Plenty of parking.

Absolutely superb castle and linked walk around the ramparts of the medieval city. Worth paying a little extra for the headphones to give more details than the info boards which are in French, English and Spanish. There is a kiosk and toilets in the courtyard so we took a break halfway round after the various levels of the Castle but before the walls.

Visiting here was an experience with zero regrets, entering the city immerses you in a medieval setting. Came here during the 25th anniversary of the Carcassonne board game for a weekend and had the best time. Highly recommend visiting the city and exploring it for yourself, don’t forget to try cassoulet!

This is the most extraordinary medieval world city. It has a UNESCO world heritage listing and has been restored to a very high level of quality. Your €13 entry fee gives you access into the Palace and also the ramparts. The construction of this protective wall and the buildings with in it is astounding. The walk on the ramp parts takes about an hour, and there are quite a few steps up and down to get to experience levels. There are also a few levels in the palace, but there are plenty of rest stops along the way. Be sure and have your camera and take your time as there is so many beautiful pictures to be had of the ancient city, but also Carcassonne and the surrounding countryside. On a beautiful day, the views are astonishing. This is a highly recommended to her to take. There are also audio guides and you can also get your own tour guide but wander around by yourself is wonderful.

New and improved features: 👉I highly recommend the new automated headset 4€, with lots of historical facts... remember to take your ID or driving licence as a security deposit. 👉You can walk 3km along the finished ramparts... the views are stunning. 👉Braille information 👉Kids Room with books & activities 👉Illuminated model of the city 👉Monitors with information 👉Refreshments in the courtyard Our students and our guests enjoy the Château Comptal with the history of the Cathars. Don't forget to visit the Cathedral and go and find the Medieval Trades & Crafts!

Wow! Takes your breath away just wandering around the place trying to imagine it several hundred years ago. It's spectacular, really. I'd have it on par with Windsor Castle in my list of top Castles to visit.

Go early for less crowds and heat. Can explore on your own and don’t need to purchase the tickets. Once on the grounds there are a number of shops and restaurant options for lunch.

Fantastic. Loved visiting and wish we had more time. If you are in the area be sure to visit. Great history and also many places within the walls to eat and drink

A beautiful 14th-century structure, reserved for pedestrians, which spans the River Aude to bring walkers to the foot of the medieval city, in Rue Trivalle. It is a wonderful observation post on the city and the surrounding mountains, the Pic de Nore on one side, the Pyrenean foothills on the other. You can picnic on the lawns of the garden dedicated to Pierre and Maria Sire, two authors from Aude, and take the children to have fun in the fenced playground.

Great place to see the whole castle! Also nice area for a short walk.

A stunning introduction to the medieval city is this bridge from the 14th century. Up until n the 19th century, it was the only access from the Bastide, these days pedestrian bridge giving a scenic entrance to the Medieval City.

Wonderful hosts, lovely garden, comfortable beds, easy check, hearty breakfast, good WiFi and excellent air-con.

Good place to view the old city from a distance . Pleasant walk

Beautiful old foot bridge connecting La Cite to the town. Worth a walk across to soak up the atmosphere of the approach.

It's definitely worth crossing this historical bridge heading towards the castle cite.... have a nice stroll and soak in the lovely river/castle/city view....there is a public paid carpark conveniently located at the end of the bridge.

Canal Du Midi from Toulouse to Narbonne. By bike September 2019 This is a great experience and very physical intensive.but a lot of joy and a good way to strengthen your body. The first step from Toulouse to Castelnaudary it's quiet relaxed and the path on the side of Canal du Midi make it easy to get along. But you always hear the high way where the cars making there own sound but still you feel happy peddling along the old Allees beside the water. The following route to Carcassonne needed more Intension for the path it was paved with little stones, occasionally some roots and wholes make it difficult to bike fast. The third part till Narbonne was even more difficult and because of some tree disease they had to cut almost all the old trees and planted new once but this couldn't give you an enjoyable feeling. The good part was that the high way was to fare away to hear. Nevertheless the people you meet on the Canal Du Midi in Bike, Hiking or on a Boot are always very friendly and all in all take as much time you can to be able to explore the villages on the Canal try the good food and the great wine they produce in the area and look out that you have always enough water with you.

The quiet tree shaded bicycle path along the canal is a dream for cyclists.

Picturesque, slow pace, towns adjoining, a very French experience. We enjoyed our stay, 10 days was too brief even with two days before and after in central Toulouse, 14 total.

I preferred the section away from the road. The staircase lock we passed was interesting. The locks are big as the vessels passing through are also a fair size. The canal is perhaps a little over 10m wide.

I expected some slightly better surfaces. Most of it was quite poor, with potholes, rough large gravels and tree roots. It's also badly signposted in places. Don't try it with normal road tyres. Most people were on electric bikes with fat tyres. I won't be back.

A bucket list exsperience and must do. Relaxing holiday by selfdriven boat while enjoying southern France's vinos and old villages.

Keep in mind the canal is not a single point on the map, the pin took me somewhere random that wasn’t that pretty

This gate is the entrance to the medieval walled city in Carcassonne. Access into the city is free and you can walk the entirety of the wall following a dirt track that leads between the outer and inner ramp parts. This is also the route that the horse drawn carts take. You can also go through this gate to get into the main part of the medieval city. This is where you will find shops, restaurants, cafés, and other stores. You can also access the church from within the gates of the city as well. This is a wonderful place to visit beautifully restored and steeped in history. There are also ticketed areas which are well worth the visit.

Carcassonne is one of my favourite places to visit in Europe. We first came here when my firstborn was small and made videos of him chasing around the ramparts with a plastic halberd. Now, with our kids gone, we came back on a walking holiday to relive old memories and stroll the walls, back alleys and fortifications at a more leisurely pace. The Petit Train around the outside of the walls was surprisingly informative and good fun, while we enjoyed setting up some photographs inside the walls, without shops and tourist paraphernalia. A romantic, educational and thought-provoking place to visit. If the car had not been invented, would more towns and cities still look like this?

🛡️ Step into history at Porte Narbonnaise! This iconic 13th-century gate is your grand entrance to Carcassonne’s medieval fortress. Twin towers, a drawbridge, and serious Game of Thrones vibes 🏰✨ 📍 Must-see highlights: ✔️ Stunning stone architecture ✔️ Epic views from both sides ✔️ Best light = early morning or golden hour 🌅 ✔️ Start your guided tour here for the full story! Not just a gate—it's a time machine. Carcassonne #PorteNarbonnaise #MedievalMagic #FranceTravel #HiddenGems

The main gate to the Medieval city, (built in the late 1200's), is lovely to walk trough, like something out of a fairytale. It is actually one of two, the other being Porte d’Aude, (quite scenic outlook, however the steeper of the two to get too).

We visited Carcassonne during the off-season; it was cold and wet, which meant the entire city was basically empty. We saw the same two dozen people all day. It was a fantastic way to experience the city, honestly. This gate is the way most folks enter the medieval city. I love that it's still, technically, a functional drawbridge. Y'know, just in case of Visigoths.

This is the main entrance if you arrive by car, it has all the parking areas this side, don't try and park at the other gate entrance "Porte de l'Aude” very little parking as you are in the main town area and a longer walk to get in.

Beautiful castle

It's a nice small parc with lots of activities for young kids. You best check the timings for a guided tour as you can feed the birds, wallaby and ostriches.

Awesome little Zoo. The staff were outstanding. Very helpful and friendly. Our guide was an intern and did a private tour in English and was extremely knowledgeable about the animals. I am always nervous about zoos as I am not sure if the animals are well treated but I feel the animals at this place are happy and well looked after. Great mix of animals, kids activities and a cute shop.

Very much enjoyed Le Parc Australien. We saw all different kinds of animals. We were brought on the English language tour by Ashnida (possibly incorrect spelling). She was very attentive, knowledgeable and funny. Small drinks shop and public toilets are available at the park. Gift shop was very extensive, many things to choose from. Had a great time all in all, definitely recommend for families with kids or couples looking to see animals for a few hours. Public transport is not available to the park, therefore you will need a car or taxi service.

Very nice park and tour in English was very good. The lady was funny and very informative. Cute animals too.

Nice experience and interesting tour guide in French. Very good for kids. The budgies were the highlight. There is also a gold digging challenge at the end!

Lovely place for a quick escape. We leaned a lot about the animals. The kids were very exited. We took special tickets for the kids and rhey spend a whole day taking care of the animals. They fed the kangaroos and the birds. The animators were very kind with the kids and they made the day super fun.

Had a great couple of hours here whilst on holiday, we loved feeding the animals and they are all well looked after, great gift shop too!!

Seeing all the torture appliances is interesting, but how they are presented is a bit weird. Bad English translations, stock photos with the iStock watermarks still visible, huge blown up and pixelated prints on the wall, etc. Fun to walk around (probably not for young kids) but definitely not worth €11,-.

Quite horrific if you think about it too long. Certainly a macabre experience. I bet it leaves some children with nightmares. If you can approach it in a more lighthearted frame of mind, very interesting.

After the first prison museum we thought we got swindled out of our money. It seemed low budget. The second part / museum was more what we expected and felt we got our money’s worth. Its crazy to think what people are capable of when left to their own vices.

Interesting - learned a lot about the history of the region.

If you wish to know how the Inquisition became such a power figure as well as how they maintained it, you should come here. Photos are not allowed but the denial is worth it, as it makes such impact in you that you might want to go away in some points. There are two museum sites so ensure to visit both!

Still a fun museum, but there could be a lot more work done. The torture instruments are very cheap and there's almost no information on the history

Tourist trap, time better spent exploring other places in town

I have given the rooms 5 stars because I don't want to lower the average. We only used the restaurant. It was as good as we remembered from our visit 20 years ago. The service was efficient and pleasant; the food was delicious. Wine was reasonable for a bottle included in the price. Really enjoyed the aperetif - peachy in some way. We had a lovely evening.

Amazing food and atmosphere! So glad our family took us to this beautiful chateau for the most amazing food and wine! Will definitely return!

Very OLD rooms. The furniture and toilets are so dated that they feel unclean, there is not even a shower, only a bathtub. The swimming pool is amazing and that is why I am giving a 3 starts rating

The staff are attentive and completely awesome. The menu didn't have anything that I would ordinarily eat, lots of snails and shrimp and foie de gras. A little too rich for my palette. It's me, not them.

Really nice! Beautiful, spacious rooms, very clean! The castle is beautiful! Also we had breakfast and it was amazing! I really enjoyed my stay here !

Had an excellent dinner with my family. Unapologetically french and rightly so! Would definitely visit again.

Nice restaurant in old castle. Very good price. 45 EUR for a four plate menu including wine and cafe.

I was very impressed by the temporary exhibition of the drawing impression of surviving victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki!

(Translated by Google) A magnificent little museum, where the visit and comments are free, captivating for those who love the work of this great writer. We can see his room, preserved in the state in which he lived there for more than twenty years, and an impressive sum of documents, photos, texts, books, providing precious biographical elements. The house also has a small courtyard with delightful charm. Not to be missed if you pass through Carcassonne and if you like Bousquet. (Original) Un magnifique petit musée, où la visite et les commentaires sont gratuits, captivant pour qui aime l'oeuvre de ce grand écrivain. On peut y voir sa chambre, conservée en l'état où il y a vécu plus de vingt ans, et une somme impressionnante de documents, photos, textes, livres, apportant de précieux éléments biographiques. La maison possède en outre une petite cour au charme délicieux. À ne pas rater si vous passez par Carcassonne et si vous aimez Bousquet.

(Translated by Google) Despite not knowing Bousquet, this visit is worth it because the building is very interesting, and it is impressive that they have kept his room "in its original state". The temporary exhibitions were also very good. Special mention for the very friendly security man, as well as the lady at reception! (Original) Malgré ne pas connaître Bousquet, cette visite vaut la peine car l'immeuble est très intéressant, et c'est impressionnant qu'ils aient gardé sa chambre "dans son jus". Les expos temporaires étaient aussi très bien. Mention à part pour le monsieur de la sécurité, fort aimable, ainsi que la dame à l'accueil !

Random discovery but learnt about something new and worth a visit. And free!

(Translated by Google) A small free museum where you can find all the information about Joë Bousquet. There is his bibliography, some of his writings, etc. We can also see inside his room where he spent almost his entire life. Like temporary exhibitions, they sometimes make collections of writers etc. Plus, don't forget to take a look in the small garden. (Original) Une petite musée gratuite ou l'on peut trouver toutes les informations de Joë Bousquet. Il y a sa bibliographie, quelques ses écritures, etc. On peut aussi voir intérieur de sa chambre où il a passé presque toute sa vie. Comme des expositions temporaires, ils font parfois les collections des écrivains etc. En plus, n'oubliez pas jeter un coup d'œil dans le petit jardin.

(Translated by Google) The Joë Bousquet House Museum is housed in a private mansion where the poet and writer lived after suffering a serious spinal cord injury during the First World War, leaving him paralyzed in his lower limbs. He resided there from 1924 until his death in 1950. The museum presents the life and work of Joë Bousquet, notably through his bedroom, which has remained untouched since his death. Visitors can discover his major works (La Tisane de sarments, Traduit du silence, Le Meneur de lune, Lettres à Poisson d’Or), as well as the visits of great intellectuals and artists who came to meet him despite his condition: Paul Valéry, André Gide, Max Ernst, Magritte, Dalí, Simone Weil, among others. Admission is free. (Original) Le musée de la Maison Joë Bousquet est installé dans un hôtel particulier, où le poète et écrivain vécut après avoir été grièvement blessé à la colonne vertébrale pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, le laissant paralysé des membres inférieurs. Il y résida de 1924 jusqu’à sa mort en 1950. Le musée présente la vie et l’œuvre de Joë Bousquet, notamment à travers sa chambre restée intacte depuis son décès. On y découvre ses ouvrages majeurs (La Tisane de sarments, Traduit du silence, Le Meneur de lune, Lettres à Poisson d’Or), mais aussi les visites de grands intellectuels et artistes venus le rencontrer malgré son état : Paul Valéry, André Gide, Max Ernst, Magritte, Dalí, Simone Weil, entre autres. L'entrée est gratuite

(Translated by Google) Very interesting little museum on Joe Bousquet and free. Thank you the General Council of Aude. The welcome is very friendly. The agents accompanied us and gave all the necessary information, with great kindness. This writer should be better known. Many celebrities came from Paris to talk with him. The old house is also interesting and offers beautiful painting exhibitions. A beautiful place to cultivate yourself for free. (Original) Petit musée très intéressant sur Joe Bousquet et gratuit. Merci le Conseil Général de l Aude. L'accueil est très sympathique. Les agents nous ont accompagné et donné toutes les informations nécessaires, avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Cet écrivain devrait être mieux connu. De nombreuses célébrités sont venues de Paris pour échanger avec lui. La maison ancienne est également intéressante et offre de belles expositions de peinture. Un bel endroit pour se cultiver gratuitement.

Don't let the bed bugs bite. Unfortunately, our evening was ruined when we spotted a solitary bed bug on the headboard waiting to feed just above my head. My wife squashed it with a tissue and we set about seaching the room for other such beasties. There was a squashed one between the matress and headboard with a splat of red blood, and we identified 3 other dead ones behind the headboard. We then contacted the owners who apologised and offered us a change of room which we accepted. No compensation on departure.

On arrival, Hotel La Bastide Saint Martin, is impressive, Entering through two iron gates into a area providing sufficient car parking. The Foyer of the Hotel is also impressive, possessing wonderful ambience and decore. There is an open area for breakfast, which is quite adequate, adjacent to a large heated pool surrounded by chairs and lounges. The room had air- conditioning which was a great relief from the single fans experienced in our two previous stays. The only two negatives were the small size of the room which made accommodation of our 4 large suitcases a challenge, leaving little room to walk and the absence of a refrigerator, especially when we had milk (for coffee in the morning and a few bottles of white wine). However, the owners provided excellent assistance when required, especially since we spoke little French. Both owners were essential in assisting us when we severely damaged a tyre on our rented Peugoet 2008. They spoke (French) to Hertz in Carcassonne and managed to organize the return of our vehicle. . . . . . we will be forever in their debt for their kindness and personal assistance. Rating: 8/10

Lovely hotel! A cozy place, nice pool. Free parking. We felt cery welcomed by the owner! He gave us good recommendations for our stay in carcassonne. Aprox 40-50min walk to the castle (3,8km). You should try their breakfast. One of the best that we had on our journey to france/florence. We would love to visit this hotel again! 10 out of 10!

Really lovely hotel in a tranquil setting yet minutes from the hustle and bustle of Carcassonne. Gorgeous pool area for relaxing and staying cool. Bedrooms very airy and spacious. Excellent breakfast and very friendly owners and staff. Will definitely be back!

every time we visit carcassonne we stay here, Isabelle & alain made us so welcome from the very first time. the rooms are light and airy, and well appointed, breakfast is superb and served inside the hotel itself rather than their attached (and excellent) restaurant. there is a small pool out the back in a well kept garden. the gardens to the side of the hotel, which leads to the restaurant is magnificent, containing some beautiful plants, and also herbs used in the cuisine. if you chose to stay here, it is within walking distance of La Cite if you are up to it, and will be rewarded by some wonderful scenery... vinyards, horse riding menage, rolling hills, wild growing figs.... I'm convincing myself we need to return soon!

Website is misleading hotel far from old town centre. There are many better cheaper hotels with parking in walking distance to medieval centre. Staff unfriendly unhelpful . Won't go back Ever!

Friendly staff. Very clean with lovely touches. All 3 of us recommend this hotel

Very special hotel on a tranquil, well maintained property convenient to Carcassonne without the chaos. Spent two peaceful nights in a very comfortable room. Delicious breakfast and delightful owners who helped us plan a day touring the countryside. Only wish we’d stayed longer. Don’t miss dining at ‘S Comme, a very special gourmet restaurant on the property.

Recently returned from a lovely break staying here. Just outside Carcassonne in a village but a peaceful setting. The owners are passionate about the Château and personally attend to every detail. Breakfast was lovely as is the restaurant next door. Rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. You need a car to stay here and be careful of the car park entrance which is incredibly narrow. The swimming pool is a welcome addition, set away from the house and whilst swimming completely hidden from view which is a bonus in one way, but if anything was to happen, you’re on your own! Overall a lovely place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay as a family group of 10. Catherine and Eric have done a fabulous job of renovating this charming chateau, and were wonderfully helpful both ahead of our stay and throughout. Our room, for our family of two adults and two children, was the La Cité family suite. It’s large, with a separate twin bedroom and main room. We had a large bathroom with bath and shower, and separate loo. There’s a sitting area where the children could relax with games. The room is characterful with original beams. Thankfully it also has air con, as it was unseasonably warm during our stay. Breakfast is a delicious self-service buffet of cereals, different breads (brioche, pain rustique, etc.), pastries, yogurts, hams, cheeses, juices, home made jams, etc. One evening we had platters and wine in the pretty garden, the platters were excellent and very substantial. Catherine and Eric recommended lovely local restaurants in Carcassonne and Trèbes, and were full of expert knowledge. We ate at S Comme twice during the stay. The food was really lovely, in a relaxed and pretty setting, and the chef was very accommodating of our children, one of whom has special dietary requirements. I would highly recommend Chateau de Palaja for a holiday, either as a couple, a family, or among friends.

Loved my stay for a week in August for a cycling holiday (hired from Evadeo in Carcassonne). Cathy and Eric were fantastic hosts, always on hand with a smile, suggestions for destinations or answering questions. The building is full of character, with comfortable, spacious and cool rooms. I was astounded to find that Cathy and Eric had managed the complete renovation. The pool was perfect for cooling off. I loved having breakfast on the lawn.

Kathy has a lovely place with a very welcoming atmosphere. We’re we traveling from Langon to the Mediterranean cost and stayed here for a full day. Our only regret was we didn’t book more days. The rooms are very large and well appointed all housed inside a fabulous old Chateau. All modern conveniences are available that made our stay very comfortable. The outside had a number of different areas to lounge around and have a drink or coffee. The pool on the lower terrace was our savior in the warm weather. And the kids really enjoyed the freedom and fun. Overall I would highly recommend a stay.

I stayed here with my wife in the early spring. The hotel is basically in Carcassonne but unlike alot of other hotels we have stayed in and around the Carcassonne area this one has a beautiful large garden where we had breakfast. Our room and bathroom were both a good size and the whole building had a really nice feel. The owners have kept the feel of the original, period building but with some nice contemporary touches. There is also a top notch restaurant next door. I'd say this is an ideal base from which to explore Carcassonne and the surrounding area. Shame we could only stay the one night.

Beautiful hotel set in a lovely and quiet village a stone's throw away from Carcassonne's ramparts. The hotel is owned by a very friendly couple eager to provide tourists with information on things to do in the region (there are many). Strongly recommend for couples and families alike.

Had a quick ( takeaway)salad and coffee here while sightseeing. Staff were so pleasant and helpful. They cater mostly for takeaway so cutlery was wooden, we ate at their outdoor streetside tables. Salads were good .Merci

I've used Aux Croissant des Lices many times over the last few years including everyday last week (except Sunday). I can recommend their pain au raisan, croissants and pain au creme for breakfast, it's nice to sit outside with a coffee and watch the world go by. Their sandwiches and baguettes are also excellent and really well priced. The staff especially Vittoria are really friendly and welcoming even when dealing with me trying to speak french

Very friendly, polite and helpful staff. We had breakfast there. The almond croissant was to die for. The best I’ve had so far. We went back to have something for lunch. The owner was vey helpful and accommodating. If I was coming back to visit I would definitely go there for breakfast again

Very kind staff and food was very tasty!

Grabbed a couple of pasties and a sandwich for later and they were superb. Going back today to buy some more for our journey home! Recommended!!

Lovely pain aux raisins and baguettes

Got lunch here during a visit to Carcassonne, cream cakes where amazing and the staff where very accommodating considering our very poor french.

(Translated by Google) House and rural environment ideal for resting. Near Cité Medievale. Dirt road. The room has a refrigerator. It's clean. Basic continental breakfast. Coffee, bread, croissant, jam and cheese. We would have liked fried eggs or omelette and fruits. It has parking. It does not have air conditioning so in summer it is hot during the day, the good thing is that it is very ventilated, at night very cool. It has a French only TV. Genoveva's excellent attention.

(Translated by Google) Paradise at the foot of the city. Very nice location with a view of the castle and only a few steps from the city. Beautiful, very well maintained swimming pool. We were a couple in the MALE PERE room, very clean with beautiful decor and modern bathroom with walk-in shower, also very clean. We appreciated the individual terrace with deckchair and table, ideal for privacy and complete rest. Very generous and succulent breakfast for all tastes. We recommend the homemade cake and fresh fruit salad. A real delight! A big thank you to the warm welcome from Dany who was able to advise us on the choice of restaurants and visits.

The park is great fun, well thought out and very safe for kids. We went on a 40 degree day and was very happy to keep falling in the water! Its a 15 to 20 minute slow walk from the car park and is on rough terrain. There is a small cafe with drink and snacks with ice creams and there were a number of staff who spoke English, saving us mangling their poor language! The only drawback was the toilets, these are portable style toilets and were pretty grim. But as a site for a day out I would recommend it.

Fun place and very good organised. Fair prices. Time went fast.

15 minute anticlockwise walk round the lake. Big locker 5E. Life jackets for users on inflatable area. Platform slides take off jackets and put on helmet. Platform jumps remove both. Excellent fun and well supervised. Covered viewing area has drinks snacks ice creams. Did 2 hours and that was plenty. Definitely worth a visit

Great time for all.the family. Quiet Even though peak holiday time, inflatables are really good Only downside it's a 15min walk from car park around the lake

Great fun for kids & adults in a lovely setting. €8 per hour (per person); €5 more if you are to use the large slides (2). Highly recommended!

Kids had a go yesterday and loved it. They especially enjoyed the slides

Excellent and fun activity for everyone to enjoy. Can get competitive as you race or throw your friends off the course. The place offers 1hr, 2hr and indefinite options all at reasonable prices from €10 - €20. For the largest slides -which are great fun and give you some airtime as your propelled into the air- the park charges an additional €5. Lockers are available for your personal belongings for an additional €5. Drinks and snacks are slightly pricey compared to other similar venues and therefore you should bring some drinks otherwise you’ll quickly become dehydrated.
