A visit to the area is not complete without a trip to explora parc. It is fabulous, it really is. We got a great briefing in perfect English and the kit was very easy to use. After a quick demo to the team that you know what you are doing, you’re off. Depending on age/height there is a choice of routes but even the blue routes used by our 9yr olds was quite hairy, there are reds and blacks as well but we didn’t have the time to do those. There is a great atmosphere, all the staff are very helpful but the real clincher is the fact that you can go round as many times as you like in which ever routes you are able to do. You can take your harness off, have a breather and then carry on. For younger kids 4yo and under there is a massive trampoline area to explore, this does cost extra if combined with the climbing. We went first week in June and it was very quiet, this helped but even if busy there is a lot to do. Make sure you check opening times, especially out of season, as we found it only opened one day during the week. Well worth a visit though.

Les Marais Salants de la Vie

Les marais salants hilairois sont situés sur la rive droite du fleuve côtier La Vie. En y pénétrant, vous êtes sur un site remarquable, protégé par la loi Littoral et classé Natura 2000. Délaissés après les années 1970, ces marais ont été réhabilités en 1997 et font aujourd’hui revivre la récolte du sel. Guidés par le saunier, vous comprendrez comment le marais salé devient le marais salant ; une alchimie entre la terre, l’eau, la lune, le soleil, le vent et l’homme. Les Marais salants de la Vie sont labellisés "Accueil Vélo". Cela garanti des services adaptés aux touristes à vélo : - parking pourvélos, - mise à disposition de documentation sur les itinéraires cyclables, - point d'eau et sanitaires accessibles aux touristes à vélo visitant le site - kit pour petites réparations - possibilité de recharger les batteries (VAE, GPS...). Boutiques de producteurs à proximité (sels et produits locaux).

Natur'zoo de Mervent

Reviewed By Sheffield1234 - Sheffield, United Kingdom

My husband suggested a visit here and I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about it, I’m not really a zoo person. That said I was really pleasantly surprised, there’s a huge range of animals and the focus is very much on conservation and education. I loved the fact that visitors are encouraged to interact with the animals, from goats to alpacas, donkeys and wallabies there are lots of open areas where you can wander amongst the animals. Really well laid out with lots of interesting things to see and do especially for kids. A real must visit

Les Animaux de la Place

Reviewed By Z8691ULsallym - Conwy, United Kingdom

We though this was a great place - and free and it's an open space so dog friendly! Spent well over an hour playing with the various animals. Do check times before you go - we had to hang around for an hour before the "Vets" came to switch the pneumatics and hydraulics on. There is a walking route round the town (map from TI) but it's not particularly interesting.
