A family day in the year 1900

TL/DR: Very good. Buy tickets in advance. Plenty to do. I honestly don’t understand why this place gets such a rough time in some of the reviews. We had a brilliant day here and thought it was one of the better attractions we visited during our holiday. We went on an exceptionally hot day — around 38°C and full sun — but there are plenty of shady areas as you make your way around the park, so it was still manageable. There’s loads to do. We really enjoyed the old-fashioned rides and the traditional fairground games, including throwing beanbags at tins, rolling balls for points and various target games. A nice touch is that many of these are self-service, so there’s no extra charge and you can simply have a go. The rowing boats were another highlight. We’d seen warnings that queues can reach two hours at very busy times, but despite the park being busy we were on within about 15 minutes. Food options were plentiful too. We’d brought a picnic, but still stopped at the brasserie for a beer and tried some of the artisan ice creams. The pistachio was excellent, with big chunks of nut, and our five-year-old absolutely loved the praline with pieces of praline running through it. The restaurant food looked very good as well, and queues never seemed excessive. There are also plenty of demonstrations and workshops, including the forge and leatherworking. We didn’t spend as much time on these as we might have liked because the heat had taken its toll by that point, but they were clearly very popular. The working windmill was especially good. Being able to go inside, see the flour being produced and learn how everything worked was fascinating, particularly for our five-year-old. Overall, there’s a huge amount to see and do here. We thought it was good value for money, the staff were excellent, and it made for a genuinely memorable family day out. Very easy to recommend.

Lovely day out. We were aiming for the aquarium next door, but parking was an issue. The parking for here was 5 euro all day if you visited the park, so we did. Lunch was good and reasonably priced and the exhibits were fun and educational.

This is one of the best fun parks I've visited with my kids. It's like traveling back in time, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of the 1900s. My kids, aged 4 and 6, loved it so much that we spent the entire day there. You can go on the various rides as many times as you want. There's a charming small farm with sheep, ducks, rabbits, geese, chickens, and more. The rides are incredibly fun for kids, and there are boat rides, fascinating workshops, a 1900s bus ride, a windmill, and even a school! We visited the park at the end of June, and it wasn't crowded at all, despite the presence of many groups of children and their teachers. The park is so spacious and French kids are so well-behaved that it never feels crowded, even on the busiest days. The park is exceptionally clean, with plenty of restaurants and picnic areas. I highly recommend enjoying some ice cream after lunch and purchasing peasant bread from the bakery. The ticket prices are definitely worth it.
