Embark on a fun-filled canoe or kayak trip with your family and choose your challenge: 4 km, 7 km, or 13 km of paddling. Once you've received the instructions, all that's left is to paddle through a pristine environment. But keep your eyes peeled: clues are hidden along the way… 

Because upon your arrival, a puzzle awaits you. Will you be able to solve the mystery? One thing is certain: the adventure doesn't end when you disembark!

3. The Storytelling Walk of Vatulélé: the most lunar 

A journey into green space 

If you don't know Vatulélé, you're going to love him! This character, as extravagant as he is endearing, will be your guide for the day in Lésigny, 20 minutes from Châtellerault.  

Throughout your guided tour (not the cheese!), you'll discover the magic of this place: poetic, surprising, and a little bit quirky. Between anecdotes and original stories told by your guide, the session promises to be thrilling! This walk will allow you to let go and be carried away into the world of Vatulélé. And between us, you have to see it to believe it! 

4. The Zen & Animal Afternoon: the most relaxing 

Zen at your fingertips 

There's nothing better for slowing down than a relaxing moment surrounded by nature in Montamisé, 15 minutes from Poitiers. Here,  

Line, the wellness expert, invites you on a unique journey: learning how to massage your child (and relax yourself too!) using a clever and fun system inspired by the animals at the guesthouse. Each animal serves as a simple guide to remember the correct techniques. The hen scratches with her feet, and the donkey massages with its hooves. Easy, fun, and above all, incredibly effective. 

As a family, we learn, we test, we laugh, we listen to each other, we take care of ourselves… and above all, we leave with concrete techniques to reproduce these moments of relaxation at home. 

And that's not all: If you have a stomach like a stallion (compared to a horse), that's perfect because after this truly pampering moment, it's time for a gourmet break with local products, followed by a gentle encounter with the animals of the estate. 

The Aprém'Zen & Z'Animaux is clearly the perfect plan to disconnect, feel good and leave feeling refreshed. 

5. The Humachai and the Curse of the Invisible Flower: The Most Adventurous 

A somewhat sticky curse 

An ancient curse hangs over Monthoiron… Just 25 minutes from Futuroscope, the story of the “Humachaï and the Invisible Flower” unfolds. The village is the setting for a mystery that awaits only one thing: to be solved. 

Your mission is simple: collect your bag of accessories from one of the Grand Châtellerault Tourist Office branches, then enter the village of Monthoiron to tackle this life-sized treasure hunt. But beware, here, every street, every clue, every detail could bring you closer… or lead you a little further into the legend. 

Throughout the afternoon, you will explore the village, solve riddles as a family, and try to unravel the mystery of the Invisible Flower, which will not be so easily tamed… 

Between play, exploration and mild thrills, one thing is for sure: the curse has not had its last word.

6. Family golf: the most exclusive 

A green for the blues 

Fancy a round of golf? Head to Domaine de Roiffé, about an hour from Châtellerault, for a round of golf with the family!  

Even if you've never held a club before, this is the perfect time to start. On a real green, you'll be able to test your first swings, miss, try again, improve… in short, learn while having fun. And yes, holes in the green are allowed for young golfers!  

To guide you, Jean-Marc Warot, a state-certified teacher, is there to introduce you to the basics and give you the right reflexes from the start. 

And if the kids beat you on the first try… don't get discouraged, they might just be more talented than you! Get your revenge on the mini-golf course.  

As you can see, if you dream of a sporting moment to share with your family, this activity is for you! 

7. Nobility and Decline at Cheneché: the most enigmatic  

An undocumented heir 

In VienneWe love puzzles, especially when it comes to solving them as a family. If you also enjoy investigations, the Family Experience is for you. Nobility and Decline, in Cheneché, 20 minutes from Futuroscope, should appeal to you.  

Search the streets of Cheneché for clues to recover Gaultier's belongings, stolen by the formidable Gilles de Rais.  

A life-size activity that transforms you into Inspector Gadget for the duration of an adventure. Pretty cool, right?

8. In search of Good Slow Tea: the latest addition 

A garden that hides its true nature well 

This year, we've found a new product that might just enchant you… but not in the way you imagine! 

Head to the Jardin des Possibles in Persac, a garden teeming with fauna and flora about an hour from Poitiers, where a strange affair is shaking up the plants: Good Slow Tea, the garden's herbalist, has mysteriously disappeared… and without him, the entire balance of the place is threatened. 

Conduct a family investigation to find him before it's too late. And here, nothing is ordinary… every corner of the garden could hide a clue, every plant a surprise. 

Prepare yourself for an experience you won't have in Grandma's garden: here, oWe feel it, we touch it when it's very soft, and sometimes even: we taste it! Even the plants! We still advise against trying this at grandma's... she might give you a dirty look if you start nibbling on her geraniums.  

Between exploration, treasure hunts and unusual botanical discoveries, the whole family becomes an investigator in the heart of nature. 

So in the VienneWe breathe, we move, we explore… and above all, we enjoy the great outdoors like never before.  

All that's left for you to do is choose your next mission. Or try them all out.
