An excellent day in a very pleasant spot where you can stay in the sun or under the shelter of the trees! The accrobranche activity is top-notch and great value for money: numerous courses, different difficulties and the two big zip lines to do over and over again! The staff are very welcoming and smiling, and I wish you all the best for the future.

Do it again! Lots of courses and great zip lines. All the tree climbing is in the shade, which is great in summer! You can spend the whole day there, and there are picnic tables.

we spent the whole day on site. in the morning, the accrobranche: top! friendly and pleasant team, always available throughout the course. we ate on site: good value for money. and in the afternoon, a 1-hour electric scooter ride through the vineyards: a very good experience, the mountain bike part was top-notch and full of thrills and the quieter part was very pleasant in the countryside. i recommend it and i would definitely come back to do another longer course next time!!!!
