Alicourts - Pierrefitte, Loire

Parc Description

Parc des Alicourts offers plenty to do within its spacious grounds. There are masses of organised activities for children, as well as an imaginative adventure play area overlooked by the bar terrace, not to mention an excellent pool complex with waterslides and a recreation building for ‘animation’ and games. Adults are well catered for too, with a Balneo therapy wellness centre, including sauna, massage, Turkish bath and hydro-massage. Customers staying in early summer for 3 days or more get 1 free adult pass with a second paying adult. There’s a good restaurant, a 9 hole golf course and a large, clean lake with sandy beach, canoes and pedalos, you won’t want to leave the parc! Located just outside the sleepy village of Pierrefitte, you are still within easy reach of many of the Loire’s most elegant châteaux. Our 21st year at this parc.

Local Events

From the fast to the folkloric, Le Mans is synonymous with the 24 hour race that takes place on the 18th and 19th June, while gentler souls may prefer the Loire Valley Festival from 7th to 13th June at Amboise. Then there is the International Garden Festival from 30th April to 16th October, in the idyllic grounds of Chaumont sur Loire chateau.

Getting There

Regional airports at Poitiers and Tours make fly drive an easy option. Alternatively, ferries to St Malo, Caen, Cherbourg and Roscoff are available.
