Attractions
Les Chênes is close to many attractions which you might like to visit. Here are just a few we can recommend…
Valley of Monkeys: about 20 minutes drive to a wonderful world of monkeys that children and adults will enjoy. The monkeys all roam free as you walk through the different areas. Try to be there for feeding time. There is also a farm nursery with goats, sheep, chickens, guinea pigs and rabbits to pet.
Châteaux de la Loire: Many spectacular Châteaux of the Loire Valley and picturesque towns along the river such as Amboise and Tours lie within an easy 90 minutes drive. Take a picnic lunch, experience the day and be back at Villaret for your evening.
Futuroscope: Theme Park of the Moving Image. Approximately 40 minutes drive. Not a theme park with rides but an exciting day for the family. Voyages of discovery, imagination and emotion all in one place. Stay into the evening and enjoy the fountains “dancing” to a sound and light spectacle.
Poitiers: The regional capital, Poitiers is full of architectural and historical interest, with its cathedral, museums and churches.
Angoulême: approximately 40 minutes to the South East. An historical city, it hosts many and varied festivals through the year, including classic car racing through the city, the international festival of comics and a gastronomic festival.
