La Vallée - Houlgate, Normandy

Parc Description

One of the premier parcs in Normandy, La Vallée enjoys a glorious rural setting not far from a sandy beach and the seaside town of Houlgate. This parc is scattered with flowering hedges and fruit trees, with some of the excellent facilities housed in a beautifully converted Norman building and a wealth of activities to keep children occupied. There are superb pools, one of which has a retractable roof, waterslide, well-equipped play area, and even an ‘animateur’ who arranges a wide variety of activities for the whole family, including discos in the games room and Karaoke nights. The parc managers are very proud of their superb family parc and are keen for regulations to be respected. Our 24th year at this parc.

Local Events

Printemps des Musees occurs in Paris at the beginning of May, when most museums offer free entry; the Fountain show at Versailles from 26th March to 28th September features the lavish fountains accompanied by classical music, while the Joan of Arc Festival in Reims celebrates St Joan with historical shows and depictions during June.

Getting There

With airports at Paris and Dinard, fly drive is an option or for those preferring to drive, choose the channel tunnel, or ferries to Calais, Caen or Cherbourg.
