THE MOIDIÈRE CASTLE ANIMAL PARK

THE MOIDIÈRE CASTLE ANIMAL PARK
This family's experience:

Activities: We spent a pleasant afternoon in this well-maintained park with our 16-month-old daughter. We strolled through the park, enjoying the shade of the trees and the area around the pond. "We regretted having opted for the stroller" because the paths in the forest are steep and stony

Highlights: It's a great place for families who like to combine walks in nature with knowledge of flora and fauna. "It is pleasant to walk under the coolness of the trees or around the pond." There are numerous benches to enjoy the views and give snacks to the little ones ✨
