               LE TUMULUS DE BOUGON
               An extensive collection of archeological artifacts reflecting the history of the people who built these monumental ŒDolmens¹ more than 6,000 years ago. It consists of 5 tumuli with 8 burial chambers, that have now been found to have been built around 4,500 BC, i.e. 2,000 years before the Egyptian Pyramids. There is a replica house from a Neolithic village, workshops demonstrating basket-making, weaving and pottery and a hands-on experience for children.
                      

                LE PUY DU FOU (VENDEE)
               There is a magical land where time has gone out of control.  Gladiators still do battle and Vikings continue to launch their attacks on fortified castles.  There is a different era in each village.  There are minstrels in the heart of the woods and master falconers in the meadows.  This huge area covering 40 hectares is the Puy du Fou Grand Parc.



                LE FUTUROSCOPE
               
An amazing technical experience that has you riding through outer space, with 3D effects that have the whole room move with you. Cyberworld and lots more.


                 LA ROCHELLE
                 With an exeptional 2400 hours of sunshine per year, as much as the French Riviera, and the neighbouring island of Ré, Oléron, Aix and Madame, La Rochelle is an ideal holiday resort.
Beaches, greenery, fortifications, chalk cliffs... its beauty and diversity create an ideal setting to profit from life's pleasures. With more than three million visitors each year, La Rochelle is the third most vsited city in France.
