There's so much to see and do in this region .... in fact two of the most popular

tourist attractions in the whole of France (after Paris and Disneyland of course) are

Amusement Parks which can be found right here in Poitou-Charentes.

​        

​

Amusement Parks:

cinematographic & auto-visual techniques this futurisitic themed centre features both 4D as well as 3D cinemas.  

 

 

Puy du Fou ( 2 ½ hrs north west) is France's 4th most popular theme park (and rated one of the

best in the world); it features Medieval enactments on what is reputedly the largest stage in the world 

with a cast of thousands of actors,hundreds of horses and almost 500 fireworks per performance.



 

Animal Parks :

Fun Things to Do:

rafting, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, rock climbing, caving & abseiling, as well as somewhat less

stressful activities such as horse riding, hiking and archery.

power to motor the engine....great views, great experience .......and great exercise!  

 

Tree top Adventure Courses

At Dienée (40 mins away) you can swing through the tree tops high above the ground along

steel wires.....not for the faint heated!
