Here, time stands still

A day in 1900

You push through the gate and the modern world fades away. The blacksmith's hammer rings between the stone walls. The smell of fresh bread drifts through the lane. Further on, the Ferris wheel turns slowly above the village rooftops.

Children run towards the carousel. Grandparents stop at the cutler's, fascinated by gestures they once knew. You sit in the shade, watch the potter at his wheel, listen to the silence between two strikes of the anvil.

At Le Bournat, nobody explains the past to you. You live it.

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.

Amazing little park hidden behind the amusement park. Real life artisans working in place, great rides, mini farm, lovely food and even the gift shop is worth a visit. My 2 year old loved it as did my in laws in their 60s.

Came here on Sunday with enough people to make the place pleasantly busy adding to the atmosphere. There is so much to see and do. Ride on the period bus, ride on the horse drawn carriage, rowing boat paddle, Chap do this very through and friendly. We played period games as well as having rides on period fun fare rides including and incredible big wheel. Old cinema old toys. There also a project to make a flying machine!! Young lad, sorry we could not understand you but we see your enthusiasm coming through. All these were free. As we do not speak French some of the explanations by staff went over our head. This is a must do place to visit, not just a recommendation. We spent all day. Spend time and slow visit and you see lot more. The man walking around herding the geese with two sheep dogs, the scary school teacher ( was nice really we got told of in French)

Notice to visitors

Our decoration and restoration teams have been hard at work this winter — you will discover a park beautifully refreshed, cared for down to the last detail, ready to delight you.

Due to the delicate nature of vintage mechanisms, the Chenille 1900 is still undergoing restoration.

The Ferris wheel, the pousse-pousse rickshaws, the grand carousel and the children's rides await you, alongside our craftsmen, animals, live entertainment and the full spirit of a journey back to 1900.

We thank you for your understanding and wish you a wonderful visit.
