Fun things to do in Chasseneuil-du-Poitou: 11 fun attractions and activities

Amazing but short and not much of a storyline or connection to the inventor it’s about

Had a wonderful time. Must go for full day

One of the best journeys to try, I wish it was longer though.

Great ride and exciting. Very hard jolts though. A bit painful!

The best atraction of the park! Just amazing.

The experience was awful. We were with our school, entered there by 10:53 was 11:46 we were still on the line. Not even a staff to help us understand what took us so long. We had lunch marked and we had to leave earlier fearing of missing lunch.

I'm a Universal and Disney park fan, and this is one of the very best experiences I've ever had. Best use of technology, story, live action and effects. Breathtaking, literally.

The ride was fun. No need to waste time in installing the recommended French to English language translation App. All the over-excited bla-bla is 100 percent meaningless anyway....

The best attraction ever

The immersion was quite nice although the story telling can get a bit cringe-worthy at times.

Very good

Cool.

Looks pretty from the outside but it's closed due to renovation so unable to see inside. The picture boards on the outside seem to illustrate and beautiful interior, so it was a shame we couldn't see it all when we visited Poiters.

Amazing experience, after many gothic churches, to see this romanique one give you a big surprise. The only pity is that it is closed for many works of renovation

We found Our Lady the Great (Notre-Dame la Grande) to be a beautiful eleventh century church. This is a Romanesque design so it is much darker inside compared with the later gothic cathedrals. The interior is also filled beautifully painted support columns. This is a really impressive thousand year old church.

Wonderfully preserved, beautiful old church - exterior and interior. Amazing painted pillars, decorated side chapel ceilings and stained glass. We had the extra joy of a solo with organ rehearsal. Free entry, short walk from Hotel de ville. Quiet as no market on a Monday

A very ancient church, medium sized but contains a lot of history with beautiful stained glass and painted ceilings. Located in the heart of the old Poitiers village. Very quaint.

Such a beautiful church, loved all the small details on the pillars, the statues and the paintings, beyond extraordinary.

An impressive church both due to its age and architecture, different from other churches due to its darkness

Really fun experience and great for all ages. The rides were thrilling and the wait times were little if you go in September. I can understand the other reviews because of the opening of the park and people having to wait then. Busiest time seems to be 16:00 till 17:00. Overall really great time!

It's nice but it's kind of small. The park has 8 sliders and youa re queing between 15 and up to 60 min! They are very nice, my favorite is the quick where you land in a river (with a strong current). There is a swimming pool with waves (kind of small and crowed). There is a slow river inside and the fast river outside. They are both nice. There is an entire place for small children (small sliders, water game,...). Overall its nice and especially if you come with your familly :-) They need to work on the speed at the sliders 😜

An amazing experience! We went the last week of August at 10am. Most of the slides had wait times between 5 - 30 minutes. The Matrix slide line never dropped below an hour. There are 8 slides. For adults and teens, I would suggest skipping 'Spiral' and 'Flash'. Nothing wrong with them, they are just slower and not worth the wait if you want a bit of a thrill. Rocket, Sprint and Flash were my favourite slides. Each brilliant in its own way. As we didn't have a time limit, we did go ahead and wait 1.5 hours to ride the Matrix. It was worth it. I've never been on anything like it. So, if you have the time, I'd recommend just going for it. The Cove and Kine Eau are just as beautiful in person as they are in the photos online. A perfect match to the experiences in Futurescope. My only complaint is that food is not allowed in, and the menu options for vegetarians, vegans or anyone with a food allergy is miserable. We left simply because we got too hungry to carry on. So if you require food that isn't meat or cooked with milk, eat a big meal before you go, as you have minimal to no zero options inside depending on your situation.

Very clean, comfortable (water and ambience temperature) and well organized water park. With plenty of slides for every taste, age and type. The pools with de video mapping are a must you don’t find in other water parks and bring some poetry and illusion to the ambience. Very much worth the visit!!

Lines were sooo long. More than 1.1/2 hours to do Matrix, isn’t normal. So many people, hot and stuffy inside and for the price (minimum 39€) not worth it. I won’t go back. The pool outside was nice but the water was too hot.

It was complete chaos when we got there at 6:30pm. I’ve never been to a waterpark where you have to queue to get a bouy from people coming down a slide. There was no organisation there. We then waited 1 hour 30 minutes for the matrix…and the ride was maybe 60 seconds and very underwhelming :( There’s also no lifeguard at all slides which is quite alarming. The rides also closed at 9:40… but our time slot is up until 10pm :/ Good things: around 8:30 it for much quieter and we managed to do every single ride. The concepts are pretty cool, very futuristic. It’s also quite clean as well, which was very much appreciated and staff are friendly.

Could be an amazing waterpark, but there is no organisation in terms of queuing and monitoring who has stayed past their allocated slot. We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday and the amount of people there when we arrived was ridiculous. It did calm down in the end, but the queue for the matrix ride is such a waste of time as you can spend up to an hour and a half (4 hour slots) waiting. It looked like they only had one float for the whole queue so when a group finished the ride you then had to wait for the lifeguards to bring it back to the top before letting the next group go. Although the facilities looked clean and the pool clarity was decent, the amount of people that were there when we arrived made me question what exactly I was swimming in. The facilities were amazing though and the kids loved it - if it were more organised then I would give it a 5/5.

Monument national ??!!

Entered the building intending to pay and there was a couple already having a talk from the person working there, so we waited by the door. The guide then stopped, looked us up and down and asked if we knew we had to pay and "if we could hear her over there", as if we were trying to steal a tour. There was an open door and then no-one in the ticket booth, so I'm not sure what we were expected to do. We left without going in any further.

Beautiful monument the Saint John baptistry is reputed to be the oldest existing Christian building in Europe. A must see.

Supposedly the oldest existing Christian building in the West and a spectacular example of Merovingian architecture. Interesting part of the history of this building was that it was abandoned around late 1700 during the "Revolution", confiscated from the church, sold to a private citizen who used it as a warehouse! Repurchased and saved from demolition, underwent restoration in the mid 20th century. Worth exploring.

7th century (c. 630-700), a rare Merovingian period monument preserved in an elevated position in France, houses a rare baptistery. Having the chance to visit this baptistery reminded me of Ravenna.

There is a small charge, which seems flexible if like us, you have a large family. Worth it to see what is claimed to be the oldest christian building in France. There is a leaflet that explains everything. Well worth the walk from the centre of town if you are interested in history.

An old baptistery still with remains of the swimmigpool used before

As half of the church was destroyed after the French revolution (used as a stone carry), only the upper part is authentic as the neve and facade were rebuild. But the roman architecture is however wurth while the visit as the repetitive arches within the church gives it a real distinctive atmosphere.

Very nice place to visit.

Wonderful place to visit!

Magical, elegant and beautiful historical ambience. It's history is a fascinating one which dates back to the 11th century. As you approach this church you are immediately drawn to her unusual and unique style. It was damaged during the French Revolution and was restored in the second half of the nineteenth century. A great atmosphere that welcomes all ages, backgrounds and religious beliefs. It's wheelchair friendly and highly recommended for the whole family. It's easily accessible if you're staying in Poitiers or accessible from surrounding areas by public transport or driving. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site bestowed in 1998. A charming and beautiful Church.

The church of St. Hilaire is one of the most important monuments in Poitiers for a number of reasons. First of all, it retains a good deal of it's 11th century construction and sculpture. This is unusual in French cities, where the rise of Gothic architecture tended to result in the tearing down of Romanesque churches in favor of the elegant new trends of the 13th century on. The current incarnation was built with a timber roof, but when that was replaced with stone vaulting, the nave was found to be too wide to support the weight of the stone above, so some innovative measures were taken in the form of an extra row of piers on each side of the nave to help lessen the span to be supported by the exterior buttresses. The scale of the church is massive, not necessarily in height, but in the volume of the building. Walk slowly down an aisle on one side, traverse the chevet slowly, marvel at the changing light, the 11th and 12th century carvings on the capitals and interior corbels, the remnants of Romanesque frescoes, and try to imagine how a rural medieval pilgrim would have reacted to a structure of this magnitude. You can easily spend an hour or more soaking up the peaceful ambience of the place. Another point of interest about this structure is the fact that part of the west end is missing, as this building was partially destroyed in quarrying activity following the French Revolution. Much of the vaulting in the nave and the western façade were rebuilt during the late-19th century reconstruction boom led by such people as Violet-le-Duc and Joly-Laterme. However, the building is NOT from the 19th century, as another reviewer has stated. St. Hilaire is a remarkable example of 11th and 12th century Romanesque architecture that, despite the relatively small areas of 19th-century reconstruction, is remarkably well preserved. It sits atop the central butte of Poitiers, some distance from the Centre Ville, but it is well worth the hike to get there. It is one of the places I visit every time I am in Poitiers.

Photographs cannot capture the majesty and scale of this 11th century church. Poitiers is a very beautiful and ancient town, the people are friendly, it's easy to navigate and there is so much to see.

Saint-Hilaire-le-Grand is one of the lightest, most elegant Romanesque churches in all of France. The slender columns rise up to create a great sense of verticality. Not to be missed. Poitiers has several very fine churches.

Rightfully known as the best attraction in Futuroscope , it also is one of the most crowded with some ungodly waiting times. Go there as soon as the park opens or forget about it for the day.

OMG THE BEST RIDE HERE! How're it is a little short so to make the most of it choose level 3! Level 3 honestly looks way worse on the videos it's the funniest and the most thrilling! (Level 3 is not for those with motion sickness because it does a lot of cartwheels).

It was a wild ride, especially if you chose the expert level

Simply amazing. The three settings make it fun for all the family from 1 or Grandad to 3 for the thrillseakers

Pretty incredible to see 10 or so industrial robots in a large disco throwing people about. Can't say much about the ride but looked crazy although a bit short.

It’s lovely message me to get your package as soon as possible…

It's an interesting show, with projections on the fountains and 1 girl planning on stage . For foreign people who doesn't know French this shows will be not so interesting

Great experience

(Translated by Google) It was great! But you have to check the weather because if it's cold with the water splashing you have to take a coat. But everything is friendly, there is even a humorist, and we can win gifts! I recommend! (Original) C'était super ! Mais il faut vérifier la météo car s'il fait froid avec l'eau qui éclabousse il faut prendre un manteau. Mais tout est sympathique, il y a même un humourist, et nous pouvons gagner des cadeaux ! Je recommande !

(Translated by Google) The show “La Clef des Songes” is really cute and super fun to watch at the end of the day! The sound and light aspect is sublime, the effects are beautiful, and the slightly magical universe works very well, especially for children. A little fireworks at the end. Small downside: we had a downpour right at the time of the show... too bad, but hey, the weather can't be controlled! The theme is poetic and magical, perfect for little dreamers. Afterwards, I think that adults can quickly get tired of it, but it remains a very nice moment to share with the family to end the day at the park. To see once! (Original) Le spectacle “La Clef des Songes” est vraiment mignon et super sympa à regarder en fin de journée ! L’aspect son et lumière est sublime, les effets sont beaux, et l’univers un peu féérique fonctionne très bien, surtout pour les enfants. Un petit feu d'artifice à la fin. Petit bémol : on a eu une averse pile au moment du spectacle… dommage, mais bon, la météo, ça ne se commande pas ! Le thème est poétique et magique, parfait pour les petits rêveurs. Après, je pense que les adultes peuvent vite s’en lasser, mais ça reste un très joli moment à partager en famille pour clôturer la journée au parc. À voir une fois !

(Translated by Google) The show was magical! Water games, perfectly synchronized with the music. The light shows, the music and the colors were great! The story is very cute and transports everyone into its world! It was a real pleasure for the eyes and ears, an immersive experience to discover. A big congratulations to the artists and technicians for this beautiful show. Be careful in winter the benches are cold! (Original) Le spectacle était magique ! Les jeux d'eau, parfaitement synchronisés avec la musique. Les jeux de lumière, la musique et les couleurs étaient top ! L’histoire est très mignonne et transporte tout le monde dans son univers ! C'était un vrai plaisir pour les yeux et les oreilles, une expérience immersive a découvrir. Un grand bravo aux artistes et techniciens pour ce beau spectacle. Attention en hivers les bancs sont froids !

(Translated by Google) Great show to end the day. Very beautiful light effects, water features, beautiful scenography. (Original) Beau spectacle pour clôturer la journée. Très beaux jeux de lumière jeux d'eau, belle scénographie.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, following a technical bug the show on April 28 had to be canceled. A special mention for the entertainers who valiantly tried to maintain good humor (despite the strong disappointment, particularly from the children) So the show was in the stands 🫶 (Original) Hélas, suite à un bug technique le spectacle du 28 avril a du etre annulé. Une mention spéciale pour les animateurs qui ont vaillamment tenté de maintenir la bonne humeur (malgré la forte déception notamment des enfants) Le spectacle etait donc dans les gradins 🫶

Kids enjoyed it. Not overcrowded. Pleasant environment

GENIAL

Very fun

Reasonable prices, kind staff, spacious gaming zones.

I have fun with my friends in this parc

Super

(Translated by Google) Passing through the region with a group of teenagers, we chose this establishment for a relaxing break. The complex is very large and offers plenty of leisure activities: laser game, football, pirate island, cube, quizzes etc... and soon bowling. The welcome was perfect. We chose laser game with a very nice play area. A good time spent together. We recommend this establishment. Well done to the whole team (Original) De passage dans la région avec une troupe d adolescents, nous avons choisi cet établissement pour faire une pause détente. Le complexe est très grand et propose plein de loisirs : laser game, foot, l île aux pirates, cube , quizz etc... et bientôt bowling. L'accueil était parfait. Nous avons choisi le laser game avec un très belle espace de jeu. Un bon moment passé ensemble. Nous recommandons cet établissement. Bravo à toute l'équipe

(Translated by Google) A promise of 2 hours on the Goolfy, but 1 hour for 5 people ended up being... but hey, €9 per person is still acceptable. As for the Cube, it's a frustrating experience, where not everyone can play in certain rooms (4 max), certain elements don't work, and there's a lot of misunderstanding. I agree that we're not always brilliant, but even on easy, it's almost impossible to complete a room in one go. In short, 20 bucks per person wasted. (Original) Promesse de 2h sur le Goolfy, 1h à 5 finalement… mais bon 9€ par personne, ça passe encore. Pour le Cube, une expérience frustrante, où l’on ne peut pas tous jouer sur certaines salles (4max), certain éléments ne fonctionnent pas, beaucoup d’incompréhension. Je suis d’accord pour dire qu’on est pas toujours des flèches mais même en facile c’est quasi impossible de réussir en une fois une salle. Bref, 20 balles par personnes gaspillé

(Translated by Google) Super good experience, we came across a young man at the Cube Challenge reception today, he welcomed us very well and explained the principle very well. It's good to see people like that. We recommend it with our eyes closed. (Original) Super bonne expérience, nous sommes tombés sur un jeune homme à l’accueil du cube challenge ce jour, il nous a très bien accueilli et très bien expliqué le principe. Ça fait du bien de voir des personnes comme ça. Nous recommandons les yeux fermés.

Expensive but worth it.

(Translated by Google) A paid attraction, but an exceptional experience. Enjoying a drink at such a height with an extraordinary view of the park, all with your feet dangling, is a must-do! (Original) Une attraction payante mais une expérience exceptionnelle. Boire un verre à une telle hauteur avec une vue extraordinaire du parc et tout cela les pieds dans le vide, c'est à faire sans hésiter !

(Translated by Google) Very expensive, and the time upstairs is very limited: it could be set depending on the number of people present (there was no one there, and we stayed up there for 5 minutes...). The drinks were good, and the server was really nice. (Original) Très cher et le temps en haut est très limité : il pourrait être fixé en fonction du monde présent (il n'y avait personne et nous sommes restés 5 minutes en haut...). Les boissons étaient bonnes et le serveur était vraiment sympa.

(Translated by Google) I went for a drink with my partner, it was a great time! Excellent cocktails prepared by Maxime! And I would like to thank Rehane for this great flight and his joie de vivre 😘🫶🏻👍 (Original) Je suis allée boire un verre avec mon compagnon ce fut un excellent moment! des cocktails excellent préparés par Maxime ! et je tiens à remercier Rehane pour ce super vol et sa joie de vivre 😘🫶🏻👍

(Translated by Google) Superb, super original bar, it's a real thrill once you get to the top!! Guaranteed thrill, but it's a shame it's so expensive. (Original) Super bar hyper original sa fait des frisson une fois arrivé en haut !! Sensation garantie, en revanche dommage que ce soit si cher..

(Translated by Google) Super nice to be able to have a drink at 35m height.🍹 The prices are quite reasonable considering that they include theft. The person who accompanies us offers to take a photo of us with the view behind.📸 Everyone exchanges without even knowing each other, the void brings us together 😂 The time at height is quite short but generally we are happy to get our feet back on the ground. An experience that I recommend. (Original) Super sympa de pouvoir prendre un verre à 35m de hauteur.🍹 Les prix sont assez convenables sachant qu'ils comportent le vol. La personne qui nous accompagne nous propose de nous prendre en photo avec la vue derrière.📸 Tout le monde échange sans même se connaître, le vide ça rapproche 😂 Le temps en hauteur est assez court mais généralement on est content de remettre les pieds à terre. Une expérience que je recommande.

(Translated by Google) They no longer give us the lanyard for the bottles, or they didn't want to give it to us. If the experience isn't complete, it's not worth the 7.40 per drink. (Original) Ya no dan el lanyard, para las botellas, o no nos lo quisieron dar, la experiencia si no es completa, no merece la pena los 7,40 por bebida.
