Normandy Attractions  For family holidays Normandy is an excellent choice with attractions to keep everyone happy, from outdoor activity centres to zoos, museums, a small theme park and miles of sandy beaches. For those interested in history the region is full of museums dedicated to Roman History, the Norman Conquest and the Second World War - especially D Day.  And in the heart of Normandy you will find wonderful rolling countryside, gardens and châteaux. Worthy of a trip are Le Mont St-Michel just over the departmental border in Brittany, the Palace de Versailles west of Paris and even Paris itself.

Description:  This must be the ultimate in stomach-churning experiences and is not for the faint-hearted. Three ‘thrills’are offered. The first is the bungy jump - mounted on top of 61m high pillars (the remains of a railway viaduct) is a platform from which it is possible to bungy jump. If you manage the 140m long suspension footbridge that links the columns then the jump should give no cause for concern!!! If that isn’t enough you could also fly through the air on the ‘scable’ a 400m long aerial wire which whisks you across the valley (singly or in tandem) at 100 km/h. A Scable tandem ride is €26 each. Finally there is the Adventure Park where walkways, flying foxes, swinging suspension bridges etc…. further test your nerves of steel. This costs €20 for adults and €16 for children under 13 but over 1.40m in height.
Recommendations: There's a nice looking restaurant on site, although we didn't try the fare.  There is also a picnic area if you prefer to be self sufficient.
For the children: This activity is only for families with older children (with adult supervision) and there is not so much on site to occupy younger members of the family.
