FAQ - Royan Tree Climbing
We’ve put together a list of the most frequently asked questions about our business. Tree climbing near Royan
Why choose a tree climbing park in the countryside rather than one by the sea in Royan, for example?
A park in the countryside, such as Fontdouce, offers a green, calm, and exotic setting, perfect for disconnecting from the hustle and bustle of the seaside. The tree climbing course at Fontdouce stands out from other tree climbing courses near Royan thanks to its forest of hundred-year-old oak trees.

Great experience, we spent half a day with friends at the park doing accrobranche, the team is very friendly and available for any questions or anything else! I can’t recommend a more sporting day out in the middle of the forest, you’re cut off from the world and it’s a real treat!

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.
