40 Best Stops Between Saint-Remy-de-Provence and Calais (2024)

Hard ride up from Chalet Reynard. Beautiful views especially on the descent. Doable. Take a wind jacket.

Nice day's walk. We climbed steeply up to the top, seeing beautiful views on the way, and then took a longer, less steep route back, at times across loose scree.

Wow , what an experience! The climb is hard but if you are a road cyclist and regularly ride, it is doable. The Sault route is the easier of the three routes but still very challenging. Incredible views at the top.

What an amazing mountain to climb, cycling from Malusene you are surrounded by enchanted forest and as the climb goes on you will experience beautiful lunar scenery ..It's a HC cycle so definitely it is hard and now in the summer with the heat..but you will love it..

Visiting Mont Ventoux peak was a rewarding experience. We drove up the winding roads, passing clouds, the views were spectacular, worth every second in the journey. We saw many cyclists and hikers along the ascend up “The Beast” (as Mont Ventoux is also known for).

Very nice

I rode my motorbike up this iconic climb in the dark to see the sun rise. It was an unforgettable experience.

Great place to cycle up, especially on a weekend. The views from the top are unbelievable.Definitely worth ticking off your list of "must-do" climbs.

Epic experience riding to the top of this iconic climb, breathtaking views once at the top. However you can park at the top if you don’t fancy the ride there is a cafe and small shop selling lots of merchandise, drinks etc they accept card payment also. There is also a pick and mix stalls and one selling meats.

10/10 European standards2/10 Asian standards.Good views from top and a lot of cyclist. Although it is only 1900 meters height. Good for Europe but being from Asia, I've traveled many roads on my moto with 5000+ meters of altitude so not for me.

Amazing bike climb!

2hr bike ascent was well worth the spectacular views...I however took the easier option of driving the back-up van behind lol.

Breathtaking scenary and very accesibile by car, foot, bike or motorcycle. A must see!

I can recommend the Escape Game. It is highly engaging and a great way to add more depth to a visit to the Roman theater. The free audio guide can be combined with the Escape Game, but I would not suggest that. The audio fragments are relatively long and most of your attention will go to solving the puzzles of the game anyways.

Stunning and ancient. Around 1800 years old and beyond. Great value. Go to the museum first to see some of the antiquities then enter the amphitheater. Lots of steps so not wheelchair friendly at all (those damn romans!)

WOW. Absolute must see. Allow at least a couple of hours. Must be one of the best preserved amphitheatres. Don't miss the rooms behind the first tier.

This was a wonderful example of ancient Roman architecture and ingenuity that gave rise to a theater that was used for many years for all kinds of entertainment and displays. It is one of only three of this kind in the world in this shape, and is a world UNESCO site. Not to be missed,

Great find. We had a good walk around the whole area and had great views, even over to Mount Ventoux. And make sure to try out echoes against the amazing wall.

Best preserved Roman theater. Really interesting site. The have a 3d viewing add 9n that let's you view the theater as it was just as you come in.

Well preserved Roman theatre. One of the best we have in Europe. I'm glad to see that the new restoration make it available to host plays once again

Amazing to see an amphitheater almost as intact as it's prime. Have never seen a theatre with it's main stage wall intact, was quite a site to see. It's massive!

Very well preserved Roman theatre that is still in use, apparently with excellent acoustics. The stunning building behind the stage is one of the most remarkable of its kind for its grandeur and good condition. On the other hand, the tiers have been totally replaced by a modern structure.

Tickets should be aquired from the Museum in front of the Theatre and include visits to both (11.5 euro). The Theatre is not very large but tall so that the sounds can be heared well. The statue of Augustus is well preserved and is impressing!

What an awesome sight! Having studied Greek and Roman Theatre at college decades ago, I never expected to see a Roman Theatre in such a fantastic state of preservation - that stage building is just incredible. The audio guide was very good and the additional displays were very informative about Roman life generally. A memorable visit.

The theater is absolutely gigantic and a must-see! It is just incredible how huge the theater is and how old.I will definitively come here again for one of the concerts as experiencing one in such a setting must be one of the best things ever.Not sure about people claiming the entrance fee. 13 Euros p.p. were absolutely okay and worth it unless you have a sight like this in your backyard and are used to such a sight. The audio guide was quite informative and interesting.

The building is impressive.The audio tape is worth listening t

Arrived at 5pm Sunday, and guess what? Parking is free and the ticket to both the theatre and museum was free!It was a good time! We didn’t have time to see more but it was enough for us.

Fascinating place.Bigger than you would expect and much more complicated. Actually an arts center as they did much more than just put on plays. They self guided tour is excellent. You leave feeling like you truly understand what a small segment of Roman life was like.Wish we had more time to look around.Museum is an added bonus showing what they used as everyday objects as well as props and build design elements.

Enormous, ancient, makes you think of where humanity was thousands of years ago. And then, what exactly caused its decline. Enjoy.

A piece of Roman history and architecture that withstood the test of time.Wonder why they don’t build nowadays like they used to? 🤔From the outside, it looks impressive. Every corner you look from, there’s a different facade which tells a story.Entrance fee is €11.50/adult including the headset (compulsory) for the theatre and the museum across the road.The theatre steps have been restored, so, not much of it is original. The backdrop where the stage is, is a work of art. Imagine how grand it will all be if it was still intact. However, just the remains tells you of the immense size of the building.The Greeks and the Romans must be excellent sound technicians. So much so, the theatre is still used for concerts and performances because of its acoustics.We climbed up to the very top, sat down to take it all in while looking down to the stage and backdrop.If you do get a chance, visit Orange as well when you are visiting Avignon. You will not regret it.Suggestion - the management of the theatre should give a choice to visitors to either opt for the headset or not. Other places seem to be doing that.

Rue Madeleine Roch, 84100 Orange, France

Genial. Must see and swim in this natural bathtub!

The most beautiful waterfalls, great for a day out.

What a beautiful little place in the middle of the nature?m! Loved it!

Nice little waterfalls… you can cool down in the rivier a little but the rocks are slippery. There is a parking spot, payment method is confusing as it says no cash only CB but it accepts only visa or master card (no maestro debit).. we ended up paying with coins (?!) which seemed to be still accepted

Amazing place, but too far with children, its better to go with out a buggy.

We've passed yesterday through La Roque sur Ceze and the landscape is beautiful: waterfalls, vineyards.... We didn't have enough time to visit the city, but we'll be coming back soon. Just didn't find a lot of options to eat on the way. And be careful with the narrow bridge to cross when entering the town.

Most beautiful! Path uneven,consider drinking beer to be careful and pay many attention to the edge, to not fall over and wear plenty of shoes.

this is not the place you want to go. watch cascades du sautadet for the right one. this ones adds 20 mins walk plus a drive in on a 1 way in the middle of nowhere

Beautiful, but hard to get on with small kids

The castle of Grignan is from the 17th century. It is destroyed in the past and was rebuild from a madame within public money. Now you can visit the town around and the castle itself also, entry is for kids until 12 years for free. A guided tour is also possible. Adults pay without the guided tour 8€ /person for the visit. The area around to see from the terrasse is wonderful and beautiful.Recommendation for a morning visit because elso it might be to hot on the terrasse.

Very beautiful castle with a rich history in the region. There is not much to see inside it, but the panorama with the view is absolutely magnificent. 8 EUR for an entry for an adult seems a bit pricey though for the content.

Impressive and imposing château with magnificent views to Mt Ventoux. Fairly quiet during Easter weekend but recommend booking in advance in the summer.

Chateau à faire! Pièces intérieures avec un beau mobilier, explications écrites claires et personnel à l'écoute. La vue panoramique depuis la terrasse est absolument magnifique! Très instructif et moment agréable!(Translated by Google)Castle to do! Interior rooms with beautiful furniture, clear written explanations and attentive staff. The panoramic view from the terrace is absolutely magnificent! Very informative and enjoyable time!

A beautiful village w a castle to visit. Worth wandering around, however, I didn't check to see if you have to pay to go in the castle. I just walked briefly around the town.

Old atmospheric streets with unique shopping, great views from hilltop

Je l'ai visité (le château) pour la 2eme fois c'est toujours impressionnant d'y aller mais hâte d'y retourner dans 1 ans environ pour voir les pièces en travaux qu'on a pas pu voir cette fois ci et en plus on a eue une initiation à la danse de l'époque c'était très marrant à faire(Translated by Google)I visited it (the castle) for the 2nd time, it's always impressive to go there but I can't wait to return there in about a year to see the rooms under construction that we weren't able to see this time and in plus we had an introduction to the dance of the time it was very fun to do

the beautiful town below the historic castle is worth a stop for a coffee and they have very good wine

A faire 1 fois. Visite libre , pas de guide ni audio-guide (pas proposer). Il y a des personnes dans chaque pièce disponible si vous avez des questions.C'est intéressant de voir chaque pièce et l'histoire.(Translated by Google)To do once. Free visit, no guide or audio guide (not offered). There are people in every room available if you have any questions.It's interesting to see each piece and the history.

Beautiful place to visit. As you walk through the narrow streets full of nice places to eat and shop up to the chateau at the top - a great place to spend the day. The chateau itself has beautiful views.

Je ne suis pas rentré dans le château. En revanche les alentours et le village en valent vraiment la peine. Magnifique village de Provence tout en couleurs. On y mange bien.(Translated by Google)I did not enter the castle. On the other hand, the surroundings and the village are really worth it. Magnificent village of Provence full of colors. The food is good there.

It's ok. Restored rooms of a supposedly fine chateau. Good views but it's not mountain country so not dramatic. Good for old folks if they're ok with steps.

Magnifique château mais il est très (trop) souvent en travaux. Donc des parties entières ne sont pas toujours ouvertes à la visite ce qui gâche un peu l''expérience.(Translated by Google)Magnificent castle but it is very (too) often under construction. So entire parts are not always open to visitors, which spoils the experience a little.

Lovely castle with so many evening events in the summer. A great tour and stunning views of lavender all around. Mont Ventoux in the distance!

Château plutôt sympa à visiter, surtout que nous étions presque les premiers sur les lieux donc pas d'attente pour acheter les billets d'entrées . Cependant, pas de bol pour nous, le château était en rénovation.Par contre, un des surveillants nous a demandé si on avait des questions à poser lors de la visite, qu'on n'hésite pas mais si on ne pose pas de questions et qu'on aperçoit qu'il fait des rondes vers notre secteur, je ne trouve pas très professionnel qu'il nous épie comme si nous allions saccager ce qu'il y avait à l'intérieur. Heureusem*nt qu'il n'a pas fait sur toute la longueur de notre visite!Une fois que vous allez arriver sur la terrasse, la vue est magnifique.C'est à faire une fois si vous passez par là(Translated by Google)Rather nice castle to visit, especially since we were almost the first on site so no waiting to buy entry tickets. However, no luck for us, the castle was under renovation.On the other hand, one of the supervisors asked us if we had any questions to ask during the visit, that we do not hesitate but if we do not ask questions and we notice that he is making rounds towards our sector , I don't find it very professional that he is spying on us as if we were going to destroy what was inside. Luckily he didn't make it the entire length of our visit!Once you arrive on the terrace, the view is magnificent.It's worth doing once if you go that way.

We didn't actually visit the castle although did climb up through the roads and alleys to the entrance. It was quite a lot to get in and I appreciate the cost of upkeep but we felt 30 Euro was excessive compared to other historic sites we've visited in the region (Castle @ Montelimar is worth a visit).

Très beau château. Village avec beaucoup de commerces ouverts.De belles pentes et côtes(Translated by Google)Very beautiful castle. Village with many open shops.Beautiful slopes and hills

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the crocodile farm in France and I must say, it was a truly memorable experience!The crocodile farm offers an decent collection of snakes, crocodiles, turtles, and birds, all of which are beautifully maintained and cared for. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about these animals, and their enthusiasm is contagious. I learned so much during my visit and left feeling truly inspired.While the price of admission was on the higher side, I felt that it was more than worth it for the chance to see such incredible animals in person. And while I imagine that this experience would be especially fun for kids, I can say from personal experience that adults will still find plenty to enjoy as well.Overall, I highly recommend the crocodile farm to anyone with an interest in reptiles and other exotic animals. It is a rare and special opportunity to see these creatures up close and personal, and I am already looking forward to my next visit!

It’s a wow place for sure. It starts with a small room with a few of animals. I thought that it would be the same but when you open the second door you are in a tropical forest! It’s so impressive. There are more than 350 crocodiles, many birds, snakes, turtles. The staff conduct small performances feeding animals and explaining interesting moments about reptiles and birds. There are a lot of exotic species and plants including coffee and cocoa! It’s pretty expensive- 19 euros per person - but it’s worth it for sure.

Very exciting to see so many crocodiles and reptiles. Especially for my two sons. But I felt bad for the animals which didn't have a lot of space. Many of them were in very small cages.

Amazing park with over 200(!!) crocodiles, and all sorts of birds, reptiles and more. Staff is super kind, know tons and love to share their knowledge. The hot dogs and fries are actually nice, and the outside play space is a great bonus for kids up to 12 years old. Fully recommend!

Very good location to spent 2-2,5 hours.It's in a good shape.In september its really calm so they close a lot of food and drinking shops. At the end you can grap something to eat and drink.Maybe it should be better to open one shop at the children's playground.The children's playground is really good.The toilet could be better/cleaner. No toilet seat and environment friendly toilets are not the best ideas.

Very well done and thought out. Tons of activities for children ages 2-10. A little hot and humid in the main area, which is for the health of the animals but would be good to tell people preparing their visit. A bit difficult for strollers.

Visiting the reptile farm was an amazing experience that allowed me to connect with a diverse array of reptiles, both large and small. The interactive setup, complete with ladders and slides within the reptile enclosures, made it an exciting adventure for kids up to 12 years old. The variety of reptiles, including crocodiles, turtles, birds, snakes, and even exotic plants, showcased the beauty of the animal kingdom. Spending a good 2 to 3 hours there was just right to fully appreciate the collection, and if you're lucky enough to have extra time, you can quietly observe the intriguing subtleties of reptile behavior. While the snack and lunch area was a bit crowded, it was expected. Entrance for adults is a bit on the pricey side.

Amazing sanctuary for Crocodiles, Gators, Caimans and other reptiles. Hopefully they can continue to expand and create bigger enclosures for the animals!

Awesome and thorough park for crocodiles , turtles and other animals! It’s tricky in hot weather though - the frost third of the park is pretty stuffy and humid (naturally for the animals) but could use better ventilation or some fans for the humans. I had to leave my family early because it made me nauseous :( The main attractions really only start about 1/3-1/2 way through the visit so you kind of need to push through the beginning quickly.The playground area by the restaurant was cool and there were a few decent options for food. A lot of junk though (cookies, donuts, candy, etc) so it’s better to pack a picnic for smaller kids.Otherwise it was a great outing for our mixed group with kids ranging from 2-16.

Great day out with the kids. Even on a busy day, plenty of space to park. Worth booking tickets ahead of time so you can get in quickly. Make sure your crocodile passport gets all the stamps.And well priced snacks to be had while you have 20 mins rest and the kids play on the outdoor playground.

We have been visiting this place now and then and it has always improved in variety and presentation: there are not only many kinds of crocodiles but also reptiles and a great variety of birds and fish: moreover the vegetation is exotic and it is wonderful to walk through the paths watching the life around and getting really close to some animals. The temperature inside is like in a greenhouse, but pleasant. We were able to see the feeding of the birds. There are some areas that are sometimes crowded and the restaurant shoud be improved in quality and comfort. The parking is available.

Nice to see so many crocodiles that close. Nice place, nice people willing to tell all about the animals. Good restaurant with fair prices. Also fun for kids to climb around

The crocodile farm is a good place to bring your family. Not only kids but also adults will enjoy it. It dispalys all sorts of crocodiles, turtles, birds and fishes. Multiple interactive shows are organized throughout the day. A number of food and drink options are offered. Count 2h30 to 3h for the visit.

breathtaking views, lots of routes to walk and explore. the routes are very well marked, it is easy to find the way and the route, unfortunately, there are garbage on the route but I blame the tourists. nature is wonderful, there are birds circling over the cliffs, beautiful fish in the water, we saw goats, wild boars and hares. Fortunately, even when it's 40 degrees Celsius, you can find some shade between the trees. There are practically no people on the hiking trails, it's not bad on the water either, but it gets dangerous when kayaking people on both banks jump into the water, it's narrow and they are afraid to jump into a kayak. Also, a lot of people walk their dogs without a leash and they are not small dogs, which is not always comfortable. unfortunately, many people also take a loud speaker with them and play techno music, which is not always pleasant for those who seek silence.

If you stop.you can see how beautiful in it is but by road there is not much to look at at all

Aug 23 What's this, I don't do five stars... This place of outstanding natural beauty has to be an exception. Extraordinary landscape seen largely from a (challenging) road. Don't miss it! The only minus is the hard sell everywhere on lavender. An unexpected plus the local liqueur made from chestnuts and served with white wine. Don't try this at home, but definitely worth a try on a hot summer day at a cafe overlooking the Ardeche.

Great adventure! Rent a kayack and go!

The south of France is one of the most beautiful natural regions in France i have had to pleasure to visit. Spectacular views and culture. Excellent food & wines from Rhone river valley.

The Ardèche Gorge is an amazing place for sightseeing, or walking, kayaking, and cycling. Huge views, many paths and tracks, campsites. Car parking and cafes are available, but plan ahead as there are not many.

Amazing sceneryCertainly one of the best sightseeing attractions in southern France. A river meandering through huge rock formations, partly exposed, partly covered in lush green vegetation. Rent a kayak and explore the canyon, hike through the canyon or just drive around and enjoy the scenery. Definitely worth a visit.

A stunningly beautiful area of France to visit. Amazing views along the road above and equally great views canoeing down below on the river. The road also is an excellent place for a bike ride if you like hills. (Though probably best to avoid in summer and start your ride early, it gets hot!)

We hired canoes and completed the 31km journey in about 4 hours and 30 minutes (the river was running quite fast due to the rain).Great views and very quiet in late September.

Lovely area. Some of the walking trials have fallen down trees over the path. In one particular area it appears to have significant storm damage and the path has been washed away and a bit of due diligence is needed at this point of the walk. Came across and hand full of walkers but generally a very quiet pleasant walk. Can be difficult is some areas, ensure you have plenty of fluids for this walk and substantial snacks to see you through. Moderate to difficult in ability

Truly amazing wonder of nature. So many viewing points along the road that meanders it's way through this beautiful landscape.

Didn't know what to expect as you see a replica of the caves not the real deal. Got to say its well done and once inside you soon forget your not in the real cave. The audio tour is available in English and switches automatically as you go through each section. It takes about 1 hour to walk the cave.

Thank you so much for a truly life-changing experience. We had an guided tour in English and the guide was incredible. He was patient to answer all our questions after the tour. I could have spent many more hours inside the cave itself, but still had a magical experience. We enjoyed the museum exhibits as well. I'm surprised to say that the Grotte Chauvet 2 was one of our favourites from our two-week stay in the south of France. Can't stop thinking about it.

Book your spot in the grotto tour in advance! We arrived at 1pm (in April!) and the grotto was booked out for the day 😮 Museum is still worth a visit though! So is the temporary art installation "animal de la préhistoire" That was absolutely fantastic! We went twice in a row... 😁

Absolutely worth a visit, there is so much to see at this site. But most impressive is the replicated cave. The attention to detail is amazing. The tour through the "cave" is slow and you get a real feel of how the real cave would appear.

The original cave must be amazing and one of the most important for humanity. The copy is a huge engineering and architecture achievement. However I could not stop wandering how well they reproduced the original paintings. I would have loved to look at the details of each piece but this point is mute when we consider a reproduction.The tour is rushed because they are more interested in making money.Facilities are not set up for large Amos of people, in the Cafe I had to wait 30 minutes for a warmed up sandwich.Overall very pleasant experience.

I would give this place ten stars if it was possible. The cave is so interesting, it feels as if it was the real one, both for smell and darkness, and the guide explained the main paintings, and still also a number of minor drawings had been recreated and were visible. A second visit would also be interesting. The place also offers a park and an we could see an "moving" art exhibit which, although it had no connection with the archaeological visit, was surprising and great. There is plenty of parking and the place is easy to find (despite the winding road). It is forbidden to take photos in the cave as we were said the pictures are online.

Great place to visit. Lots to see and do. Even though a replica the grotte was great.

The whole tour is amazing. Delphine, our tourist guide was super fun and explained everything with such passion that I took off the headphones with the english version and I can assure you I understand her in french (I understand a bit of french normally).I know is a replica but is well made and the drawing are impressive. It's worth to visit it

We arrived around 5 pm and wanted to visit the cave. At the entrance we were already told that we must pay the complete price, but not see everything because of "the storm“ (lame excuse). The funny thing is: At the same time, each point of visit is covered. We decided to visit the cave anyway. In the cave we got headphones to listen to the explanations in German. So far, so good. However, the guide didn't pay any attention to the foreign speakers at all. As soon as she finished explaining in French, she turned off the lights and we were left in the dark. When we left the cave, 40min before closing time, all places to visit were already closed. For this, 18€ was not worth it and the staff is also not helpful at all. If you do not speak French in the store, you are abandoned. For a tourist place really sad.

We just went here today and we had a very good experience! The first one we were not si fortunate as we followed Waze and google in English and we were brought to the original site so we had to add 25 minutes more I think to reach the site. We selected English for our daughter and we were lucky to be just the 3 of us! The tour was so intimate with our guide who was very knowledgeable and informative, we forgot to ask his name! But he answered every questions and showed us interesting things! We appreciated a lot of things because him! Removed the misconception that 30,000 years ago people were less developed, smaller and not so smart to than we are! But in fact no, they have bigger brains, worked only 6 hours and created this magnificent cave that is such a marvel!

Well I'm afraid it didn't quite hit the mark for a number of reasons. 1) we book a ticket for 15:30 and are then told we are late even though we were at the gate at 15:20. 2) You arrive at the entrance to the cave system. At the last minute you are told to download an App to be guided through the visit. Trouble is the site has very little phone signal (even the guide was laughing at that). 3) let's remember that this is a module of the real thing, but the guide says no photos and no videos. Why on earth not?! Sorry but I've €18 for this and want remember my visit... 4) OK, it looks inside but it is lifeless with no dampness, not cold enough and no sense of being in a real cave. 5) I guess I have to trust that this is a good replica of the real thing....We went in Late November. I can imagine summer is very busy.

This isn't even the real cave. Why are dogs not allowed?My dog might be a cleaner, quieter and more polite then you :-DViva La Chien!

Loved the place. We arrived at around 9.30 for the 11.20 English language tour. This allowed us plenty of time to see the art installation, and the history of the area.The tours start promptly, so be there or be square. You also have headphones to hear your guide. Great idea, helps block out screaming kids.Very easy to walk if disabled. No steps and very gentle slopes.

English description is longer than French tour and they switch the lights off before the description has ended. Better would be to remove the 30 second wait before the last part. Tour group too large to allow everyone to see each part of the cave whilst on the tour.

Hello, before I go to some caves, but here it is different level. We like it very much.Usually people explain that you need 3h to pass the area. Even the bad whether we need more to see all what we want.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE.I had the English tour which was a small group. The tour was incredibly detailed and complete. They made such a beautiful reconstruction of the Grotte Chauvet.The area around is very spacious with bushlands and paths to walk around.There’s a lot to see. You can definitely make a day of it here.They also have an aire du camp car for camper vans where you can park.Fantastic area.Really impressed.

It was awesome experience there. Cave is a replica. I have been to many different caves and this one looked pretty real. I liked it a lot. Plan your trip in advance. They have English guided tours to the cave at a specific time so we waited for two hours. There is a place to have your own lunch.

Really very interesting to go to. it looks so really nicely done. I really recommend it. just go you won't regret it. There is a large cafeteria and gift shop. you are left in groups of 12. yes it is a replica cave but a very good one !!!

Fantastic experience, BUT the English audio lasted longer, and the guide switched off the light, so we couldn't see what the audio was describing, there were lots of people and no need for the guide to turn off the lights!!!!!!!!!

I have to admit that firstly I hesitated to go as it is about a replica of the real Chauvet cave. After reading all the good comments we did go and do not regret this! It is really great. We did go with 3 kids 12, 14 and 16 and there is an app that you can download upon the entrance and which will guide you through the cave with good intervals in different languages. Even in Dutch which was perfect for us and the kids. Please don't go with very young kids as it is only disturbing for others. Once you are in the cave it is like you are in the real one.

It’s worthwhile to visit this attraction and enjoy the small, peaceful villages nearby. This man is amazing to dedicate his 33 years for building an art work which gives benefits for the town’s government and brings a lots of works for the village as well as the enjoyment for the visitors.

What a great place to explore the mind of a genius. Every corner of this place has a surprise. Walked around it 5 times, each time I found something different.

It is definitely worth the time to drive to this nice monument and learn about the beautiful history behind it. A brilliant mailman built this palace for his daughter in 33 years by himself. There's even a beautiful movie about this true story called “L’incroyable histoire du facteur Cheval”.There is a museum nearby as well.It’s a good place for visiting with kids. They would be happy to find all of the objects on a map they get before entering. I highly recommend this destination.

This is an amazing experience. Walking through one man’s artistic vision is impressive. There is a nice movie about his life you can watch and other artist’s work that are homages to Ferdinand Cheval. You should also to a few moments and go to the cemetery where he built another structure because they wouldn’t allow him to be buried on site.

Smaller place than expected, but nice visit. What a way to spend a life

Unique building, amazing to believe that one single man, without arquitecture experience can build this master piece alone. Really unique

What a gift to literally walk into someone's dream!This surreal construction awakened the child in me as well as what it means to be dedicated to something .The combination with Othoniel's work is perfect . I suggest going whilst still there .Consider from 0:45 to 2:30 to visit the place (depending on your sensitivity)There is also grass and benches to rest and hang around .Bars and glaciers just outside the premises.Enjoy!

This place is just wonderful, i can't imagine this was built by a single guy who traveled 45km to collect stones from the nearby river and build this naive architecture. A must visit site.

One of my favorites, a must see in Isere. The masterpiece is mesmerizing, reminds me of Sagrada Familia, the difference is this one is achieved by one person...truly admire the great postman !

If you want to get the most exciting experience form the visit of the place I can recommend watching a movie about this place which tells about a romantic idea behind this famous work of art of a postman. It motivates and empowers when you see how one idea may spark the flame of creativity and self confidence. It’s not just a monument of naive art but it’s a story of a person who made the dream come true.The visit is not so expensive as you also can take a look at the exhibition in the museum and buy some souvenirs. There’re lots of tourists. So better to arrive earlier to have a chance to take a photo of the palace with less people walking around.

It's hard to review this without partial stars. As the life labor of love of one man, I'd give this monument 4/4.5 stars.As a destination, one on a little town in the middle of nowhere Farmville france, I'd give it 3/3.5 stars.So, I'll give it a weak 4 stars. That is to say, if you have nothing to do, it's convenient to you and want to see something cool for 1 to 2 hours. Do it.The cost is eur9.50 each adult.I suspect it's FAR busier and more expensive and less pleasant in the warmer months though.The grounds need maintenance for certain and I wonder if they do light shows and special events. Doesn't look like they do, but they should.Pro tip... if you're outside the entrance, use the bathroom next to the city hall.

The story of the Postmand who build this "Palace" is simply outstanding. The amount of hours and work spend on creating this place is amazing. The Palace it self is a true work of art, and the more you look at it the more you see. We spend about 1,5 hours at this place, and I am still amazed as I write this. This is a testament of will power, dedication and hard work. It cost 9,5 Euro for adults and 6,5 for children. You are not allowed to carry backpacks since it is narrow, but there is boxes for storing backpacks while you visit the site. Parking was relatively easy, but most of parking is for cars below 2,2 meters. All text in the museum is in French, but Google Lens will help you with this. If you are in the area, do not hesitate to go see this, and read the story.

This place is magical. I am amazed at the effort this guy must have put in to build such an amazing monument. We spent over an hour looking at all the words he had written as he grew his work.What was a little strange was the visit to the museum next to it. I'm not sure the piece about the house (not Facteur Cheval) actually work

This was suuuuuper cool. Give yourself extra time because there are so many parts to see of this. The staff who sold us our tickets was very nice and allowed us to stay a bit longer (we got there 15 minutes before closing, and didn't stay much longer, but could have)

It's definitely worth a visit. It's the sort of place you need to spend some time looking at. The more you look, the more you see. The story behind the building is very interesting, and it's amazing what one person can create over time. Lots of free parking.

Perhaps the craziest human adventure in time built by a single man, Mr. Cheval with all his daily poetry offered us what man can do best, the greatness of his imagination in the course of his postal tours. Absolutely great, absolutely wonderful, this guy is just a great poet.

It is an exceptional place with a beautiful and wonderful story. As the former minister of culture said, the only naive art building in the world.

Visiting the Palais Idéal du Facteur Cheval is like stepping into a whimsical dreamscape woven from the imagination of a true visionary. This architectural marvel, crafted by the humble postman Ferdinand Cheval, transcends mere description. Every corner boasts a kaleidoscope of intricate sculptures and intricate masonry, a testament to Cheval's unyielding dedication and creativity. The sheer audacity and poetry in the construction, comprising an amalgamation of various styles and influences, evoke a sense of wonder and awe. This enchanting haven transports visitors to a realm where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary, making it a destination that defies expectations and leaves an indelible mark on the soul.

8 Rue du Palais, 26390 Hauterives, France

It a nice small park good for young children. If you are visiting it for the first or second time then you may feel different however, I have visited it at least once every year and it's been a long time since they have introduced any new rides to the park or any changes if any at all. Food options are very minimal and staff do not speak English 98% of the time. Shops are very basic and shows are very limited.

Don't go there if you're not thin. Above a L or 46, you will not fit in most rides. The staff was really nice and kind about it but I felt thorougly humiliated. They gave me fast passes for other rides instead but I couldn't fit either, and I'm an 48/0XL. It was even more demorilizing as I've lost a lot of weight recently lolI gave 2 stars for the really really nice staff who were very kind to me and checked that I was doing fine as kids were making fun of me. For context, this never happened in any other parks I did in Europe, including Walibi Belgium and Disney for example. I wish their rides were more inclusive.

Parc à taille humaine, propre et le personnel est sympathique et souriant.En ce 8 mai, nous avons eu assez peu d’attente même pour les plus grosses attractions (20/25min max) ce qui était agréable.Notre fils fait 1m10 et a pu faire la majorité des attractions, à moyenne et petite sensations.Dommage cependant, plusieurs (totem, air boat) n’étaient pas ouvertes (à priori des vérifications sont faites tous les matins et celles-ci ne les ont pas obtenu) pourtant le prix lui, reste bien au tarif initial 🙃 et nous avons été confronté plusieurs fois à des «problèmes techniques» au cours de la journée mais les techniciens réagissent vite.En ce qui concerne la nourriture/boisson ce n’est pas donné mais en même temps dans quel parc la nourriture n’est pas cher ?Vous pouvez sortir du parc pour manger et revenir si besoin.(Translated by Google)Park on a human scale, clean and the staff are friendly and smiling.On May 8, we had relatively little wait even for the biggest attractions (20/25min max) which was pleasant.Our son is 1m10 tall and was able to do the majority of the attractions, with medium and small sensations.Too bad however, several (totem, air boat) were not open (a priori checks are made every morning and they did not obtain them) yet the price remains at the initial price 🙃 and we were faced with “technical problems” several times during the day but the technicians reacted quickly.As for food/drink it's not cheap but at the same time in which park is food not expensive?You can leave the park to eat and come back if necessary.

To visit just once in your life if you are close by. Small park with a few attractions. Good for a very little kids

Nice place to visit for children have lots of rides for all ages. Defiantly deserve to visit

We didn’t expect much but our experience was great! It was nog too crowded (monday, first week of july) and well maintained. There were 2 shows which were very entertaining. We got a week dated ticket with a burger for lunch for just under 30 euros per person. It was well worth it.

Avis mitigé sur ce parc d’attractions à taille humaine , mais qui ont tous un point commun : c’est évidemment le temps d’attente !Des queues interminables pour des attractions même pour des manèges de bébés…En fait, la règle d’or, pour pouvoir faire les attractions, c’est de venir un jour pluvieux, mais surtout pas un jour où il fait beau .Même pour prendre une glace,c’est 30 mn de queue en plein soleil.Manège en panne plusieurs fois dans la journée.(Translated by Google)Mixed opinions on this human-sized amusem*nt park, but which all have one thing in common: it is obviously the waiting time!Endless queues for attractions, even for baby rides…In fact, the golden rule to be able to do the attractions is to come on a rainy day, but especially not on a day when the weather is nice.Even to get an ice cream, it’s a 30-minute queue in full sun.Ride broken down several times during the day.

I had the opportunity to visit here over the summer and was pleasantly surprised by how charming and fun this little park was. Of all the rides there, my personal favorite was TImber as it felt very fast paced and did a great job combining thrills into a family coaster. Most of the park looks very nice after all the changes in the past couple years and I am very exited to see the new updates next year when they build their newest area!

Very clean and well maintained park. Staff is super friendly and helpful and the rides are fun and entertaining for adults, youth and younger kids. Toilets are also very clean. Ride waiting times are clearly displayed throughout the park. The live show we saw was definitely entertaining.We went on a Friday in July and the queues were generally less than 10 minutes on most rides. Everyone had a blast and I can highly recommend going here for a day.Small note for Apple users; if you order your tickets online (much cheaper that way) and use the “hide my email” feature (aka private relay) you won’t receive any tickets by mail. This is a known issue on their side. Make sure you save your proof of payment and reservation ID and visit to the service desk at the entrance of the park and they will fix it for you.Have fun!

Habla Manotas,Very cool fun park. The amenities are clean and the rides are quite new.The shows we attended were amusing and breathtaking.From 6-45 years old our 7 people crew had lots of fun.

Très bonne journée. Personnel gentil et souriant.Pour ma part le seul bémol fut le manque de caisses ouvertes pour l'offre 1 billet acheté 1 billet offert .. Seulement 2 caisses ouvertes c'était vraiment limite à mon goût. Presque 1h de perdue .. Dommage.(Translated by Google)Very good day. Kind and smiling staff.For my part, the only downside was the lack of open checkouts for the 1 ticket bought, 1 ticket free offer. Only 2 open checkouts were really limited for my taste. Almost 1 hour wasted.. Too bad.

Fun park with fun rides. Decent food prices. The water rides were a bit of a shock because the water was really dirty. Staff is very friendly. They check your bags at the entrance so don't take any sharp objects with you. Try to buy your tickets minimum 3 days ahead of your visit to benefit from a discount.

Très bon d'acceuil, rarement déçu.Cependant la possibilité d'avoir un fauteuil pour se déplacer aurai été agréable pour mon fils en béquille.PS: j'ai demander. Il n'y en avait pas.Ceci dit c'est très agréable de s'y balader quand il n'y a pas trop de monde, et du coup moins d'attente.(Translated by Google)Very welcoming, rarely disappointed.However, the possibility of having an armchair to move around would have been pleasant for my son on crutches.PS: I asked. There were none.That said, it's very pleasant to walk there when there aren't too many people, and therefore less waiting.

Fantastic fun park for the families, not very big but in the same time big enough for a day entertainment. Very clean and looked after. My kids had plenty of fun definitely Will be back soon

Parc très propre, très sympa pour les sensations fortes ou ces attractions sont à l'honneur. Mais trop peu d'attractions pour les personnes n'aimant pas les grands 8 et autres. Elles se limitent trop à des attractions pour petit*.... C'est dommage car même les plongeurs sont au top. Mais au vu du prix du billet j'irai autre part pour contenter toute ma famille.(Translated by Google)Very clean park, very nice for thrills where these attractions are in the spotlight. But too few attractions for people who don't like big 8s and others. They are limited too much to attractions for little ones.... It's a shame because even the divers are at the top. But given the price of the ticket I will go somewhere else to please my whole family.

Had a lovely day out here. Queues weren't too long and most of them had a good amount of shade. The park was clean and tidy and the facilities were clean too. The food was good and not too expensive. If you have younger children or it is a really hot day(which it was when we went) take towels and swimwear as the splash park is a great place to cool down. All in all, a really good day out for all the family.

Visite hier le parc est agréable le spectacle de plongée super MAIS beaucoup trop d’attente partout trop peu de personnel même pour manger un enfer pas une attraction adulte à moins de 50 minutes toute la journée et pour les attractions enfants une moyenne de 20 à 30 minutes. 2 chevaux mécaniques ??? -> 30 minutes d’attente. Pour respecter vos clients vendez moins de billet, embauchez plus de personnel, augmentez la capacité de vos attractions quand c’est possible(Translated by Google)Visit yesterday the park is nice the diving show great BUT too much waiting everywhere too few staff even to eat hell not an adult attraction less than 50 minutes all day and for children attractions an average of 20 to 30 minutes. 2 mechanical horses??? -> 30 minutes wait. To respect your customers, sell fewer tickets, hire more staff, increase the capacity of your attractions when possible

Purchase tickets at least 3 days before - and you will be in for a treat. Took my son for his birthday, which is just before Halloween. Dr Mystic and his spooky crew made it a day to remember. Yes - the wait was long for some of the rides - but it was worth it.Great atmosphere, great rides, great day. Thank you to all the lovely staff at Walibi!!

Parc d'attraction un peu western très sympa. Sensations fortes et sensations plus modérées pour les plus petit*. Personnel gentil et souriant. Un petit bémol, un gars de la sécurité à l'entrée au téléphone personnel qu'on a l'impression de déranger et qui se permet une réflexion.(Translated by Google)Very nice western theme park. Strong sensations and more moderate sensations for the little ones. Kind and smiling staff. A small downside, a security guy at the entrance on the personal telephone who seems to be disturbing and who allows himself to think.

Prefer this place than Disneyland, you can comfortably cover all activities without a fastpass (I guess only on low season). Park is nicely crafted and decorated, the rides are just great 👍

Super moment avec mon fils employé très sympathique temps d'attente pour les attractions correcte juste plusieurs attractions fermé c'est dommage pour une réouverture(Translated by Google)Great time with my son very friendly employee waiting time for the attractions correct just several attractions closed it's a shame for a reopening

Awesome museum !I highly recommend doing a guided visit.You will go underground and see how a charcoal mine is. The guide was very nice and very informative.

Good experience, although you can't go down a real mine. But it's nice to see how they worked down there.

The parc-musée de la mine, Saint-Etienne:I recommend this visit! The museum of the mine of Saint-Etienne is a real witness of the history and the culture of the region. Indeed, I chose to visit this museum because if the activity of the mines ceased a long time ago, these last ones contributed to the formation of the region and they are always part of the landscape and the « Stéphanois » heritage.This visit deeply marked me. Indeed, by discovering the mine one is quickly challenged by the extreme and sometimes dehumanizing conditions in which the miners worked. The deserted character of some rooms is sometimes chilling as for example « la salles des pendus », however it is easy to imagine in this quiet room the noisy activity which took place there a few decades ago.The guided tour lasts one hour and fifteen minutes and is free for children, I found the guides fascinating, they lead us into the depths of the mine, putting us in the conditions of the miners. It is difficult to get bored, and even children can understand a lot from this visit.Finally, at the end of the guided tour, it is possible to go to rooms that retrace the history of this place, of social struggles that took place on it and of the city of Saint-Etienne, thanks to models and archive images. I recommend the visit of these rooms to history buffs!

This museum is a former coal mine. Super interesting to visit if you pass by and you are interested in this kind of stuff. If you book in advance a guided tour (organised by the museum), you will also have the opportunity to visit a replica of the mine galleries, which includes a short underground train ride (underground facilities are not open to visitors with a regular entry ticket, guided tour only). Suitable for children. Everything is in French, though.

A lot of informations about a time where Coal is 'Gold'. You can see how the miners work and lives in Saint-Étienne.

Amazing museum that takes you back in time. We didn’t have time for the guided tour but still enjoyed it a lot. Free entry for students and young people under 25. Thank you for the experience!

Very interesting place! Worth visiting for sure.Sadly we couldn’t visit the mine itself which would have been great to see.

It is the museum which tells us about the history of Saint Etienne..... Wonderful place, must visit if you are here

A super inter and engaging visit! Rea well done and recommended for all ages!

A wonderful exposure to the life of the miners the mine tour experience is well worth it if you're in the area, they fully emerse you in atmosphere when underground, you can smell the coal. Great way to spend a rainy day

Very interesting bit of French/European history. The guided tour we took was in French, didn't ask if they offer in other languages but you can visit everything top side without the guide.

Good museum of a retired mine.However, the tour is only in French. We joined anyway and going down into the mine was interesting enough by itself.Hopefully they will add a tour in English in the future.

3 Boul. Maréchal Franchet d'Esperey, 42000 Saint-Étienne, France

Great zoo, well set out. You walk through a path up hill which basically give you outlook of each animals from different point view. The ape greenhouse is charming, and very pleasant to visit. It’s a lovely park in general. Whom does only have rescued animals who were otherwise destined to a way worse lifestyle than they have over there

Zoo is closed!! We drove 1 hour to come here, but it is closed. At google, it is declared as open.

Conservation focused zoo with quite a lot of interesting primate exhibits (amongst a lot of other types of animals). Big enough that you can spend a few hours here but also not so big that it has to take up your entire day.The zoo is positioned up a hill so there is some elevation change during your walk through but the park is entirely accessible (wheelchairs of course, but that means also strollers too Mamas… even enough room through entrances and pathways for huge American double strollers). And the layout of the enclosures up the hill allows for really good viewing of the animals in their enclosures.

Es ist ein großer Tierpark im näheren Umkreis von Lyon. Dieser war zum Zeitpunkt des Besuches geöffnet, wurde von uns jedoch nicht besucht. Der Eintritt ist relativ hoch. Am Zoo befinden sich viele Parkplätze und ein Wohnmobilstellplatz. Ebenfalls am Standort befinden sich mehrere Hotels. Der Ort Saint-Martin-la- Plain ist fußläufig erreichbar. Zu den gezeigten Tieren können wir keine Angaben machen.(Translated by Google)It is a large zoo near Lyon. This was open at the time of the visit, but we did not visit it. The entrance fee is relatively high. There are plenty of parking spaces and a mobile home parking space at the zoo. There are also several hotels on site. The town of Saint-Martin-la-Plain is within walking distance. We cannot provide any information about the animals shown.

Toller Zoo. Sehr schön angelegt mit vielen schönen Pflanzen, Häusern und Wegen. Die Tiere können aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen gesehen werden. Fenster ermöglichen den direkten Blick. Allerdings sind die Toiletten nicht sehr schön und von der Sauberkeit und Ausstattung ausbaufähig.(Translated by Google)Great zoo. Very nicely laid out with lots of beautiful plants, houses and paths. The animals can be seen from different directions. Windows allow a direct view. However, the toilets are not very nice and the cleanliness and facilities could be improved.

This zoo is amazing, as you enter it just gets better and better. I have visited all types of zoo from around the world, I would confidently say this is one of the best. Remember this place started of rescueing animals. Please visit, wait till you see theGorilla's and most importantly all the animals looked happy and in good care!

war sehr schön, die kids sind happy ,fairer preis 🥰👍(Translated by Google)It was very nice, the kids are happy, fair price 🥰👍

Top 👍

We visited the zoo with my daughter. She loved it... The zoo has lots of gorillas and chimps apart from other animals. Must visit.

Very good zoo, not the food

Stellplätz direkt am Zoologischen Garten mit unterschiedlicher Länge, Strom, Ver/Entsorgung, Chemietoilette. Geräuschkulisse wie im Dschungel - nachts ist Ruhe!(Translated by Google)Parking spaces directly at the zoological garden with different lengths, electricity, supply/disposal, chemical toilet. Background noise like in the jungle - it's quiet at night!

Excellent, family led animal park. Everyone is friendly, the gorillas are well fed. Very cool day trip for the family

Always enjoy time spent at this zoo. They have a range of animals many of them recovered from bad homes. Their favourite animals are gorillas which they specialise in. Great place for photography. Nice little cafe providing snack type food at reasonable prices. Plenty of room for social distancing. If you like animals you should enjoy this little zoo. Highly recomme

This museum has a varied selection of items contained within a large futuristic looking building. There is one floor of temporary exhibitions and another with permanent collections. It feels like one of those educational museums that children will enjoy more than adults (there were several school groups on the Friday I visited), though there's just enough to make it worthwhile for adults too - I personally really enjoyed seeing and reading about the impressive collection of minerals and fossils. All information in French and English. Took me about 2 hours to see everything.

Had such a great time here, we visited during the peak of heat wave so we got free entry! But it would have worth spending money for the ticket anyway! The exhibitions are very well curated. Even my friend who doesn’t normal goes to museum also enjoyed it! The information were very English speaker friendly.Such a shame that we only had less than 2 hours to go through everything. Would love to come back again one day

The museum is truly a wonder. It offers a rich tapestry of art, history, and culture. Each exhibition is a journey in itself, a voyage through time and creativity. From ancient artifacts that whisper stories of the past to contemporary masterpieces that push the boundaries of artistic expression, there's something to captivate every visitor. The depth and diversity of the collections are awe-inspiring. So, take your time, soak it all in, and let the museum's treasures unfold before you, creating a memorable and enriching experience that leaves you with a deeper appreciation for the beauty of human creativity and our shared history.

Hier muss man gewesen sein bei einem Besuch in Lyon. Grandiose und vielfältige Ausstellung, sehr modern gestaltet. Es empfiehlt sich viel Zeit mitzubringen, es gibt über mehrere Etagen so viel zu sehen.Super Anbindung mit Straßenbahn.(Translated by Google)You must have been here when visiting Lyon. Grandiose and diverse exhibition, very modernly designed. It is advisable to bring plenty of time, there is so much to see over several floors.Great connection with tram.

The architecture and garden of the museum is something to see in itself. Only had time for one temporary exhibit, but it was done extremely well. Given the sensitivity of the topic, representations of Native Americans over time, it was a job well done.

My review refers to the external structure, as I have not had the opportunity to visit it internally. Well, it really is a very, very strange structure, even if it is useful to be able to shelter from the hot Lyon sun and it is also located in a fairly nice area of ​​the Confluence district. Anyway, I've heard that the museum inside is really nice!

Incredible place! The collections were very well organized and there’s a lot of interactive area too - mindblowing experience of touching a meteorite piece or dinosaur fossil. There’s a lot to see so reserve a whole afternoon for it at least. There’s a lot of Asia/Africa cultural objects and art, amazing fossils and quality taxidermy. Staff was kind and helpful. Museum accessible in English. Entrance free of charge with City Card (2023). Architects totally allowed to freak out!! Awesome views of the rivers, good place to sit and watch the boats.

An interesting museum mostly about human, animals, history and culture. Very organized and interestingly presented. The architecture is modern as well. The staff are polite and nice. The entrance price was logical as well. All info were available in English. 👍

This was a highlight of my trip to Lyon. A very well done museum with several temporary and permanent exhibits. My favourite was the taxidermy/tree of life/exciting animal exhibit. Notable things include the skeleton of a mammoth, massive whale, dinosaur, pterodactyl’s, dodo bird and elk. The temporary exhibit of the photographer Marc Riboud was very interesting showing some very real moments throughout history. Worth noting to spend more time in the permanent exhibits than the temporary ones to make sure you have enough time to see the important things.

Disappointing. The permanent exhibition remains unsatisfactory, somehow does not go deep enough or wide enough… rather superficial and with not really too much to show … did’t like it. But then, I’m not into ethnography much myself.On the contrary the building is stunning!! Wonderful architectural daring ideas that was great to see come to life there! I could not stop to look around in the corridors and in the stairs and enjoy the openness and energy of the place!

One of the best museum experiences I ever had! It is such an interesting museum! It is really modern and everything is also in English. It has exhibitions about Life, Death, Evolution and the Human Experience in general. I recommend it to everyone.

Great museum with amazing architecture and great exhibits. The building itself is worth the visit. The museum has several permanent and temporary exhibits which are very interesting and interactive (Even the kids enjoy them). The upstairs cantine has good options for meals or snacks and the museum shop has a great selection of beautiful objects. I enjoyed it so much, I had to get the yearly pass!

It was the best museum we have ever visited. If you need to visit one museum in Lyon or even in France, let it be this one.Each exhibition was special but especially the one dedicated to the history of the world and universe was simply brilliant. It was full of inherently interesting artefacts and rare objects like real star dust or remains of prehistoric animals. I was always wondering why such exhibitions about the most interesting topics for humanity are not common to find. The other exhibition about the society and knowledge was mesmerising and thought provoking too. Everything was so interesting and beautiful that we came back the next day to continue, so I would recommend at least 3-4 hours to spend there. And it was free for students under 26 years old!

Ok museum with educational themes. As a tourist, I found some sections/articles without English translation which was a bit disappointing. The employees speak English very well and are very kind and helpful. Yet, there are a lot of kids at the museum which kinda make the atmosphere very noisy at points. Some galleries like the African section could have been more attractive. Some galleries also have a very long waiting queue. Try to get yourself to the fifth floor because you get a gorgeous view of the city. It’s a must-see, especially at sunset. Overall, I give this museum a 6.5/10.

Visited in December 2023 There are temporary and permanent exhibitions. Some of the exhibits are interactive. I really liked "Africa, thousand lives of objects" (The life of 230 objects, from their design to their various uses) and "Secrets of there Earth" (Penetrate the depths of the Earth and discover the planet's mineral riches). In fact, to see all the exhibitions of the museum one should spend a day there.

We really loved our visit to this museum. It offers a wide variety of subjects and perspectives on the universe, our planet, humans and what unites us. I especially loved the temporary exposition about the discovery of the Antarctic (those visuals and sounds 😲). Also the permanent exposition on the birth of our universe was amazing. Special shout-out for adding the short documentary of Cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo... it's heartbreaking 💔

I recommend for tourist / visitors. The museum is really interesting with different focus on science, human history, biology.. I would suggest to visit it in two steps

Very rich experience.You can spend an entire journey moving from one subject to another.Decent and proper toilets.On the GF level you find a small snack and a big restaurant on the outside near the water.Great view from the highest level.

We didn't actually go inside to see any of the exhibitions. We went to the top floor to take in the views & you don't have to pay to do that. The building was designed to look like clouds. Even the light fixtures in the cafe were shaped like clouds. Really enjoyed the views.

Das Museum ist wirklich toll. Man hat eine gute Anbindung an öffentliche Verkehrsmittel. Die Austellung ist wirklich schön aufgebaut. Auf die temporären Austellungen waren super. Es hat wirklich Spaß gemacht da durch zu laufen.Allerdings fühlt man sich gerade bei der "Sicherheitskontrolle" sehr schnell unerwünscht wenn man kein Französisch spricht. Man wird ignoriert und man lässt einen einfach auflaufen. Wirklich schade.(Translated by Google)The museum is really great. There are good connections to public transport. The exhibition is really beautifully set up. The temporary exhibitions were great. It was really fun to walk through it.However, if you don't speak French, you'll quickly feel unwelcome, especially at the "security check". You are ignored and they just let you go. A real shame.

If you want to see real pieces of the moon and Mars, or you want to touch a piece of bone of a prehistoric dinosaur, if you want to see a real mommy and touch a real fossilized skull of a rhino, then this is definitely the place to go. An amazing experience and very informative and entertaining museum. Don’t miss it

As a student you don’t have to pay anything to get into this museum. There are temporary exhibitions and permanent ones. Was a nice break to visit. We spent more than 2 hours in here.

Some interesting exhibits. For me, the permanent exhibits were more interesting than the temporary ones (forrest, love, geology, epidemics) although all were well presented. I liked that they had iyems that were specifically marked as able to be touched, for example a meteorite they think came from a star. There are two ticket machines in the foyer (on the left, not well signposted). You have to exit to the south past the giftshop, even though the public transport is to the north.

86 Quai Perrache, 69002 Lyon, France

this small town lies on a hill east of Lyon. it takes around 45 minutes to drive to this authentic medieval town. The current rebuild dates back to the mid 1400's. it has long been an important area for trade and early warning to Lyon of approaching armies. around 400 people live within the walls. there are a few businesses that can support tourists (restaurant, shops), but not many. A two hour visit accompanied by a knowledgeable guide can provide insight into the 500 year history of this place

Great historical place to visit. People live in this village to preserve it like in the medival time.

Nice, well preserved and easily accessible by car or by foot.Very small. You can walk every road in the town in 10-15 minutes.

Beautiful medieval stoney city!Must do: climb up the tower through the museum to enjoy a wonderful round view :-)

Very interesting place, with a 3-4 restaurants which are full around lunch time, but you can have pancakes with ham or Nutella on the street. It's a beautiful Medieval town, especially during the Autumn because of the colours of the falling leaves.

This place is very beautiful and has not a lot visitors. One day trip would be far enough to enjoy entirely of this village. I stayed one night (Wed) and there is no restaurant opening for dinner.

It was quite an interesting tour of this great medieval city before Christmas time. The restaurants and cafes were all decorated for Christmas, and we tried mulled wine in one of the places. At this time of year the city is not so crowded with visitors.

Wonderful and cute all-around medieval town! A must visit!!

I could not get enough of this beautiful historic place. I was. Awe around each corner I walked. Simply beautiful. Bring you best pair of waking shoes and a lot of space on your phone to take pictures.

One of the most special days of the trip. The charming lady at the office du tourisme, Sabrina, gave us wonderful insights to the village and the contemporary life that flourishes there. Highly recommend that you drop into the office du tourisme on your visit to Perouges. Hoping to visit again soon.

A fabulous museum. I last visited in 1998 when it was miniatures only and the highlight was Bible verses on a grain of rice. Now it has a wonderful display of cinematic props and models, costumes, prosthetics, weapons and other artifacts. Wes Anderson has his own gallery. The miniature rooms on the top floor are simply amazing, both intricate and beautiful. Well worth a visit.

This is one of my favorite museums in France and is a great museum for a movie fan. You could spend a lot of time there without being bored. There are a lot of nice props, costumes, and film technologies, etc that are amazing. My favorite part of this museum is the miniature part. The miniatures are so incredible, and painstakingly created. I can visit and spend ages looking at all of them, and still not be bored at all. Dan Ohlmann and other artists have done a wonderful job, and I would like to thank them for creating such an amazing museum like this. I highly recommend visiting this museum when you are visiting Lyon.

Visited this place a little bit before closing and I had to fight myself to believe that it was miniature. The first floor is major film props like Harry Potter, but the top floor is the main standout, A collection of incredibly detailed miniature scenes that were meticulously built. You could be amazed at the skill for a very long time, next to nothing you've ever seen. All of the images of the sets are pressed to the window, no more than 15 cm.

I came to this museum because I had access to it with the Lyon City Card pass (super easy to use when visiting Lyon). I really enjoyed this museum; it had 4-5 floors with 8-9 different exhibits. It’s a nice tourist attraction for cinephile and families that enjoy looking at movie props. I spent probably 1h30 doing all the floors and could’ve spent much longer if I wasn’t on a tight schedule.There is lineup to get in here, but it wasn’t long (probably 15-20 mins wait). I recommend this museum to all that visit Lyon, especially if you want to escape the afternoon summer heat.

A privately owned museum that will delight film buffs and newbies alike! The ticket paid for itself with the ground-floor Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade sidecar (a reproduction that you can get in and photograph), as well as the idol from Raiders (that you can also play and photograph yourself with). I won't spoil your fun with more details: just know it is totally worth visiting 😊

Wow, wow, wow! A must-see, awesome for adults and children! Spend some time. The building itself is worth the visit! Amazing 🇨🇦

Brilliant if you are a movie fan. Real sets, props and costumes from some the biggest movies in history. Some of the displays maybe a little upsetting for very small children, but otherwise very family friendly. The building is very old and atmospheric. Loved the Alien Queen as used in AVP and the Predator costume.

From the outside, the museum looks very small. This place has nine floors, stacked in a beautiful building in Lyon's old town. The miniature exhibits are out of this world. They are meticulously designed and illustrated with lighting. The cinema part of the museum is also fun. Do not miss this place if you are in Lyon.

A very nice place, located in the center of the old town in an old building. The museum presents many interesting fragments and costumes from different films.

4 floors. 9 rooms. More than 500 items from Hollywood film studios and other studios from the world! Incredible experience. I literally saw decorations and costumes from original Star Wars, Back to the future, Batman, Spider-Man (all movies that were made before the digital era) - all these amazing things!These emotions and feelings have to be experienced. Thanks to Dan Ohlmann for collecting it!

This museum was so incredibly amazing, we loved it! So many great movie props, costumes and prosthetics from the actual movie productions - what a collection! I was especially blown away by the miniatures collection on the top floor. I could have spent all day looking at each scene; the talent of the artist who constructs them is otherworldly. Definitely check this one out!

It's rare that you go to a museum that's truly different and spectacular at the same time, but this is exactly what this is. You start with visiting various parts of the set of the movie Perfume. Then there are a few floors containing various items used in many popular movies. You finish at the top floor containing lots of absolutely stunning miniatures used in films. Overall a brilliant experience and I'd say this is a must for any movie fans visiting Lyon.

An enjoyable museum with displays of props and costumes from film and a lovely exhibition of miniatures. The Lyon City Pass allows discounted tickets at €5 instead of €16.

Came here over 7 years ago and I returned today. Such an endearing place, a Lyon must and, if you love films/design, you will enjoy it so much.My only comment is that it lacks accessibility; the elevator was not working and the exhibitions are inaccessible unless you go up and down some slipper stairs over and over again.Love place!!

Fantastic! Set in an amazing multi story building. Lots of neat movie props and history as well. Information signage is English too. The miniatures on the top floors are lifelike and excellent in the recreation.Well worth the cost of admission and set inside the old town so lots of great stuff to see nearby too.Highly recommend!

What a lovely museum.I did enjoy it more than I thought that I would.You need at least 2hrs.Recommended when in Lyon.

Definitely a larger focus on older movies in this museum which is only natural. I’d say you need to be 25 or older to understand everything but it’s easy to appreciate for movie fans. Lots of cool props, the sets are rather niche but cool as are the miniature sets.

When visiting Lyon, I didn’t have the intention to visit this museum. It was the beautiful reddish building that attracted me and I am very thankful. It was a beautiful experience, many interesting surprises and mesmerising pieces. Totally recommend

An amazing museum with so many items that would turn the heads of movie addicts. Real items that were used in blockbuster movies. The miniature part of the museum is really unbelievable, the level of details is incredible. A highly recommended destination whenever in Lyon

If you are a fan of movie “ Perfume”, this museum is a must visit. They have the whole movie set of the movie. They have plenty props, costumes and movies set from countless movies. The museums organized very well.

The church is located up the hill of Lyon city, the view is spectacular. You can see almost all the building in Lyon. Also the church and art are beautiful both in and out. It is not crowded by the time I visited. It is easy to get here by train. Recommended to come as it must be the bucket-list for Lyon city!

Very beautiful place. Just outside is the splendid view o of the city. Try to get the timing. Right so you can see the sun setting over the city. It’s really breathtaking.

Great view from this hill. Take F2 line up and enjoy the long downhill stroll through old town. Also check out the amphitheatre nearby before you head down.

The Basilica is beautiful inside and out, especially when seen up on the hill. The view looking out over Lyon is even better, you can see for miles and look down on all the other landmarks that you probably walked past on your way to this one. Stunning.

A beautiful piece of art. A great location to enjoy the view of city from the height. It is an equivalent of scare couer of Paris but maybe slightly better I feel. You can either walk uphill to this place, or can take a cable train or even a car since the place is well connected with roads.

The interior of this basilica is not to be missed and it’s a short funicular ride to get there and back. Views of Lyon from the hilltop were lovely and you can see all the way to the snow-covered Alps.

Mosaics, stained glass and paintings are more impressive than many places I have seen architecturally and artistically. The location is very good and you can see Lyon from a bird's eye view. We went on foot, I recommend everyone to go out by walking.

I think it is the most beautiful place of worship in Lyon and I think it is difficult to say otherwise. It is definitely a place that amazes externally and internally indeed and it can be seen from literally every corner of the city center of Lyon! It can be reached by funicular and from the hill you can enjoy a splendid view! Admission is free and it is possible to take photos.

A beautiful, ornate cathedral that I would highly recommend visiting for anyone who appreciates such places. It probably won't be quiet, as it's a big draw in the city, but it won't matter. And there is a great view from just outside the cathedral as well as a restaurant and café. Parking your bike isn't super easy, is my only criticism, as there doesn't seem to be any dedicated spaces for them. However, I was pretty easily able to put it somewhere.

Visiting this magnificent cathedral provides an opportunity to appreciate the exquisite beauty of architecture, transcending its purely religious significance.It is highly recommended to maintain a sense of decorum, refraining from raising your voice, and respecting the solemn atmosphere during Masses when exploring the cathedral.Upon concluding your visit, you can savor a splendid panoramic view of the city from the nearby lookout point and indulge in a delightful coffee and snack at the outdoor café in close proximity.

While spending the day in Lyon we saw this beautiful white church high on a hilltop. We found an old funicular (one of the only four in the world) to take us to the church. The ride was unique but sadly passed through tunnels without any views. Once we got out, we saw this beautiful church both inside and out. In the crypt area, they had an exhibit about the cloth of Turin. There are also spectacular views of Lyon at the backside of the church. Definitely worth the visit if you're in the area...

This is an amazing Notre Dame! One of the best I’ve seen in France. There’s a few way to reach it, there is a metro station stop directly in front, you can climb up the steep steps and the steep hike they Jardin de rosary (which we did) or you can drive up and park nearby. Highly recommended.

Very beautiful church. The priest passing by greeted my family and I sitting in the pews and struck up a conversation in my native language, my children loved it. It was a great heart warming welcome for the children as it was their first time in Europe and inside a church.A side note, as a visitor to any holy place, please be respectful, keep your voice down and control your children. Always make sure you are aloud to take pictures (never assume you are allowed to take pictures just because there are pictures online). While we were there there was was woman who thought that everyone in the church couldn't hear her.

Just had an incredible experience at the Notre-Dame Basilica Fourvière in Lyon! 🙌✨ The journey to reach this magnificent landmark was absolutely worth it. Climbing the steps up the hill, taking in the stunning views of the city along the way, and finally standing in awe of the basilica's beauty – it's a memory I'll cherish forever. Lyon, you never cease to amaze me! 😍🏰 #NotreDameBasilicaFourviere #LyonExploration #UnforgettableViews

An absolutely gorgeous place to visit with some incredible architecture. A great view of Lyon from above at the back of the basilica.It was quite busy when we visited in the middle of the day, so it was not the best time to appreciate everything in a peaceful atmosphere.

About 15 mins after you cross the bridge into Old Town. It’s a long upward ascent to the Basilica, but the view at the top makes it all worth it. The architecture is beautiful and the Priests were also very welcoming when we went inside. Recommended to visit.

This is quite simply one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world.The Stained Glass windows are wonderful, especially around the altar.The mosaics around the knave are incredible.The views are spectacular.The external building is so well cared for.

One of the most spectacular places to visit in Lyon during the summer. You are able to see the city of Lyon from the terrace of basilica and in the middle of the summer this place can be quite crowded. If there is no clouds the view can be amazing as most buildings starts to reflect the sunlight, making a unique view. Inside the basilica is spectacular with French architecture is showing its best of times. Good place to pray as well if you are keen on doing so.

Absolutely beautiful with amazing views of the river and the city. The funiculaire was quite busy to go up, so I walked instead. The walk was moderately challenging with lots of steps. I took the funiculaire back down, and it was much less busy on the way down. There is so much to see at the Bassilica. Check out the crypt and the chapel for Mary, too. Beautiful

Impressive cathedral overlooking Lyon from the top of the hill. Very particular architecture design. It is quite impressive from both outside and inside. The entrance is free and not much to wait to enter. You can visit both the cripta and the main church.

We walked through both floors and around the Basilica and it was very amazing. Tons of extremely impressive mosaics and lots of gold. A very amazing and dramatic view. They very well explain all the mosaics and art in the hall. The descriptions are only in French so make sure you either have your translating camera or someone to read the descriptions to you if you need as they are quite interesting. The lower floor was super unique showing different countries views on the church which isn’t super common it feels.

A beautiful cathedral overlooking the city of Lyon. The church is a functioning place of worship so please treat the area with utmost respect. The intricate details on ceilings and walls show how much the people cherish their religion. Downstairs there's a crypt that one can visit. Don't forget to go behind the church to see a beautiful panorama of Lyon. Best way to get here is to take the furnicular.

Magnificent basilica and not a castle as it looks from afar.Also spectacular view from the monument's terrasse. A view only beaten by Mont Martre towards Paris in my book so far.We had the pleasure to participate to the mess on Sunday and it is also breath taking as it is full of visitors participating in the singing.

Just stunning - the highlight of Lyon for sure. They call it 'the upside down elephant' because it resembles an elephant on its back and it's strangely apt. The inside is beautiful and FREE to enter which is nice. Also really enjoyed the innovative contactless votive candle payment system. Great gift shop across the street too. Just beware the very steep hill and stairs up to the Basilica - they're no joke!

This basilica is located in the most strategic point in Lyon to get a great view of the city. Just walk around the basilica to the other side of the plaza and you will see all of Lyon in front of you. You can see the two rivers, and all the areas up to the far mountains.For the basilica itself, I really liked the lion statue at the entrance, it's a great piece of art.The candle stands inside are so beautiful with all the colorful candle cups.I also liked the stained glass and paintings. I'll share some photos here.

This church is beautiful and has so much detail throughout. There is so much to look at. The art is wonderful. The setting of the area is peaceful and quiet. It's worth a visit.

It is beautiful but neglected.The place is far from Lyon.I liked the place but it is better to go in the fall because the insects are really annoying.The animals are clean.There are restaurants, but I do not know why they are always closed. If you have children, it is better to take your snaks with you.In general, it is worth a tryNote:They decorate for Halloween very nice and perfect.

Excellent day at the bird park. I was there for the second time and all the family found some interesting things to do including kids. The new area dedicated to Africa is really well presented. Another good point is that there are a lot of places to make a picnic and playgrounds for children. I also recommend the observation tower to have a good overview of the park. Finally, the bird show in the afternoon is a must see.

Good place to spend the day with the family. Make sure to buy your ticket ahead of time or you may be waiting in line for a long time. They are not very organized.The place is in need of renovations, bathrooms are old, dirty.

Our 3rd visit to this park. We love it. Our kids love it. My folks love it. Always something new to see. Always clean. The birds and other animals seem happy and well cared for. Saw one of the shows this time - for the first time - and it was brilliant. We will be going again on our next trip to the area.

Really impressive seeing large species of birds , the place is perfect is perfect to spend the day discover and relax

Very nice park. We went there with our boys aged 8 months, 2, 4 and 7 years and everyone enjoyed it a lot. There is even some nice restaurants. We could easily have spend more time there that day.

Wide area for a bird park (think of a stroller or trailer, when you want to visit the park with your smaller kids). Amazing bird show. Entrance fee is not cheap but its worth a visit. Spent a wonderful day in July 23 there with my family.

THE best bird park/ontological exhibit I have seen. The handlers and keepers of the birds should be commended- they are behind the scenes but they obviously care for their charges. And the bird show was the best I have ever seen- it showed off bird's skills without being a show of talking parrots. WELL worth a visit! And they deserve support

Great place to see birds. However, you should bring your own food and drink because the snack bars there are horrible.

A truly beautiful monastery. The vast majority of the interior is open to visit for a small entry fee. Interactive displays and videos bring the history of this great building to life. A large collection of artworks, traditional wooden toys and intricate architecture provides a pleasure filled visit for all. Learn about the history of monarchs who resided here or see how the building was constructed and adjusted over the years. This really is the crowning jewel of any visit to Bourg-en-Bresse. A must visit.

Amazing place, exceptionally preserved and restored. Not to miss if you are in the area and if you are a minimum sensitive to old church architecture and all associated arts, history and... just beauty!

Took my breath away. The artisitic detail on the choir area, the beautiful stained glass windows (whose features included "textured" glass, making the clothes look like velevet or silk!), and the prominent paintings by famous artists, were all so fantastic. This place will delight and surprise any visitor.

Very nice church and monastery. Right now there is also a Lego exposition with all kinds of famous French sites.

This was a gorgeous place to walk around in. We spent about an hour and a half there.

Very well curated church/monastery.Most of the stuff are in English. Very tourist friendly.

Great day trip for all especially in July and August when the water park is open. New slides in the pool are excellent for kids under 7 and new games are fun. I highly recommend it.

We gave this zoo five stars because we had an excellent day. We spent the morning visiting the animals. We got to see some animals we had never seen before: komodo dragon,racoons,capybara and axolotls. Then we spent the afternoon in the small but fun water park. Make sure you take your speedos - board shorts not allowed. We took a picnic that we left in the car but you can leave to get it and come back in. Enjoy!!

Wonderful and amazing placeThis park is divided into 3 partsZooWater gamesGames for kids

Fijne combinatie tussen zoo zwemparadijs en attractiepark, ideaal voor gezinnen met niet te grote kinderen (+/-12 jaar). Je hebt er waterglijbanen voor de iets grotere kinderen en voor de kleinste een waterparadijs waar overal waterstralen rondspuiten. In de zoo heb je verschillende dieren waaronder apen, giraffes, olifanten, nijlpaarden, zebra's, vogels, reptielen,... De attracties zijn gericht op de kinderen van klein tot ongeveer 12 jaar. Je mag als volwassene mee in de attracties.(Translated by Google)Fine combination between zoo swimming paradise and amusem*nt park, ideal for families with not too big children (+/-12 years).

Really nice zoo, lots of animals; white Tigre, lions, elephant, camel, turtle, goats, monkeys, snakes etc. And a few attractions like a train, monorail, Carrousel, water ride. Also a small waterpark with three slides. Also a museum.

Quite a lot to see, the museum is lovely too, attractions and decent food, a great day trip.

I really liked it, There were a lot of animals and beautiful animals, from all the globe. But i think they could and can add more fun zones.

Very nice zoo with a lot to see. The attractions are also great with young kids. Friendly staff. We'll come back.

All of them look healthy and really enjoy with them place , really happy to see them very close

Great place!!! Very open with lots to see! Large variety of animals along with rides for children and a water park! A must see!!!

This beautiful little town has a lot to offer if you're cruising through the back roads of Burgundy, and the Abbey is a spectacular way to spend the day if you enjoy history and ancient buildings. Besides the ruins and restorations, there are 3D films and models to dazzle you. Don't skimp on adding the Tour des Fromages toi your visit (spoiler alert - it's nothing to do with cheese). Don't be put off by the declaration of how many steps there are to climb, the view is worth it.

Senstively done. Creation then destruction of a medieval masterpiece.

This place was for centuries of incomparable importance for Western Christian spirituality. Then 90% of it was demolished by the French Revolution. And today it's a monument, an engineering college and a stud. It seems sad that local Christians apparently don't want to revive at least some small form of worship here to remind us all of the One this place was supposed to be all about (though Taizé is just up the road).

A beautiful mix of the old and new!They have many exhibits that use technology to illustrate exactly how the abbey used to look hundreds of years ago.Get a tour if you can for more information, but not necessary.Parking is just along the street.I believe 25 and under is free admission too 😎

It is unfortunate that a majority of the place was dismantled and sold off.The place is in a constant state of renovation.There was a nice film explaining the history and the audio guide helped walk us through what was left on the place. Stepping outside and seeing where the footings are represented on the ground shows the shadow of the size of the Abby at one time. So little is left that I don’t know if the money to learn about it is worth it.

There was a 17 minute film on inside about the abbey but was all in French and because of covid we couldn't use the audio devices usually given to tourists. They should've put subtitles on. Directions throughout the abbey could've been more obvious as we had to backtrack to get back to the entrance. It was great seeing the entire history of the abbey and sad to see how much of it got destroyed. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely stunning, the largest and most powerful monastery of the Middle Ages. Begun before the year one thousand, and with a cathedral which at its height was 180 meters long with a vault supported by 1200 columns - very impressive dimensions!

A beautiful, remarkable place with such much history inside. A Must Visit

Such a great museum for one of the most important and iconic places of the Middleages. Really kind lady at the ticket office/bookshop, sadly the ancient complex of Cluny doesn't almost exist anymore but the remains are nicely hosted here. A visit to remember!

Super place. Well worth an hour away from the wine in Beaune.Beautiful building and interesting displays in an old hospital.Audio guide and plan provided. Good value.

1/4/23Very interesting museum in a former hospital that was in use up to 1984! Tells the story of how the hospital worked over time and daily life there. Also a must visit for medieval art and architecture enthusiasts as the place is full of it. Displays are informative with the provision of an audio guide which can be in English and French.

Hôtel-Dieu Museum - Hospices de Beaune is an absolute must-visit! Taking the guided tour is highly recommended to fully immerse yourself in the rich history of this place. While many flock to the region for wine tasting at the numerous châteaux, don't overlook the incredible beauty and fascinating history here. The museum provides valuable insights into the evolution of medicine and leaves you pondering how far we've come, yet how little we've advanced in some aspects. It's an incredibly interesting and thought-provoking experience that shouldn't be missed.

Great place to visit, so many history inside…I have been there with my 11 years old son and he was also very interested, the place is very well maintained and organized, definitely a must go if you are in Beaune!

Hôtel-Dieu Museum is one of Beaune's must-visit attraction spots, besides the various wine domains and caves in the city. You'll learn about the building's history and transformation, which is entwined with that of the city. Audio-guide is included in the entry ticket. Book online in advance to avoid long queue.

This is a must see if you are in the area. The building is definitely unique with a great story spanning centuries. The self-guided tour (with individual devices for narration) takes up to 2 hours.

We visited on a half market day via tour bus and enjoyed the area. Restrooms were not bad. There are many places to have lunch and shady spots to relax. The market packed up at 1, so get there early if you want to check it out!

The hospice is definitely worth a stop. The very detailed audio information played on demand via a special phone provided was a great addition to the basic tour. It is an amazing place that was set up by a nobleman in the 1400s.

The Hôtel-Dieu Museum, located within the Hospices de Beaune in France, is a fascinating historical site. The museum showcases the former hospital's rich history, featuring impressive architecture, vibrant tapestries, and a collection of medical instruments. Visitors can explore the iconic Polychrome Room, known for its stunning timber ceiling. The museum provides insight into medieval healthcare practices and the charitable work of the Hospices. Overall, it's a captivating blend of history and art, offering a unique glimpse into the past.

Very interesting and astoundingly beautiful museum which was a hospital in the early modern age. If you are anywhere near Beaune, this is certainly worth checking out. Cheap admission includes audio tour which is available in many languages. Great trip through 16th-18th century history.

Beaune is famous for wine and this impressive former hospital for the poor. The Burgundian roofs and architecture are beautiful to see and it is famous with tourists. You can get an audioguide and explore the history of the halls. Every year in Nocember is the charity wine auction as the hospices also have their own vinyards.

A must see. An historical monument that's full of interest and home to a fabulous altar polyptic. Keenly priced, with free audioguides.

Absolutely a MUST VISIT. I understand that a lot of people come to visit and drink wines at the many châteauxs But this place has great beauty and wonderful history. It tells us how FAR medicine has come ! And at times, how little we have advance? It's super interesting.

Sleepy little town with amazing architecture. The hospice with its beautiful roof was especially lovely. Wandered through the narrow streets and came upon an impressive looking church.

Make time to go visit. This hospital built in the 1400s. Very interesting. The audio tour is presented as if you are talking with the wealthy couple that funded the construction. A fun POV. If you bring children, there's a special audio tour available for them. Very enjoyable .

The roof shows craftsmanship and technique but is not easy to see outside of the court yard on the inside.You can see the front side roof doesn't have the intriguing patterns.

a wonderful visit to France's 14th century past - an inspired venue dedicated towards healing men & women's hearts, body and souls.Thank you Emerald river cruises for organizing this wonderful excursion.

Nice but might not worth the entrance fee. The building is beautiful from the outside but not as beautiful as it is shown in the pictures

Very impressive building from the 15th century. Created to provide hospital facilities to the poor, it continued to provide medical services into the late 20th century.The price of entry includes a self- controlled audio tour about life in the Hospices through its history.

If you are in Beaune, then to visit Hospice de Beaune is a must. It started already 1443 as a resort for poor and sick people. Two things was the real drive to make this hospital so successful.1) Charity and free work from religious people, for example nuns work.2) Donation of vineyards from growers in a hope for reward in heaven.In the past, vineyards in Burgundy was just simple agriculture, and nobody could imagine that these tiny plots should once become the most sought after in the world. Today the Hospice own around 60 hectares of premium land in Burgundy, and the economic return from selling grapes and wine is enormous.Is a cheers for this achievement appropriate or not ???

This place is amazing. Bever thought that a private own hospital could be this cozy and welcoming, especially during the revolution days. The facilities are surprisingly well preseved and protected for the visitors to know about that period of time. If it wasn't that sunny, I would love to spend more time there just to listen to the bells from the tower.

Phenomenal History shared in such a well-preserved and clear manner:)

Such a fascinating building and history. I was amazed and it definitely surpassed my expectations. I definitely recommend the museum. The collection of chests was great. I was surprised by the inner courtyard, the pharmacy, the Kitchen, the main doom with its roof and the little chapel.

Nice Museum, very well renovated mixing modern display and traditional aesthetic.Sculptures, paintings, ancient and more modern art will be available for free, it is a very unique initiative from the city of Dijon.Well served with 2 elevators too

Lovely museum, a nice mixture of art, sculpture and modern art. The real treat is to see the school groups. These children put up their hands for questions and are eager to answer. They will cope well with the abstract.

Definitely worth a visit and should allocate empty time for it. There's no overcrowding so ot is quiet and you can take your time..And, it's free entry.

The Dukes of Bourgondy took the belfrey clock of Kortrijk and placed it on the Notre Dame at Dijon in order for the 'Jaquemart' to strike each hour of the day. But it wouldnt be the only artifact that the Dukes would take from Flanders. As the power of the Dukes rose, so as well did the cultural richness as they ordered several most reknown artist of the time to excell on their artwork. Although the French revolution destroyed the church where the richness of the Dukes was ment to survive the ages, the tombs survived so we can still witness how Klaus slu*ter sculpted the 'plearants' in order to grieve for the Duke and his whife. But there is much more to see than only the medieval art. Certaibly wirthwhile the visit.

What a great museum this is and it is free (in the summer). Absolute must see in Dijon.

This is an exceptional monument that is home to over 1500 art works, dating from antiquity to present day. Visitors will enjoy an artistic journey through centuries of masterpieces that make this gallery one of the best and most visited in France. Entry is free..

Nice museum although the directions to follow for going around the museum were somewhat patchy.Plenty of oil paintings on canvas, a good section on sculpture, covering especially on François Pompon.The other very interesting parts were on the history of Burgundy and its four dukes.Unless I missed it, I was surprised of not seeing anything about Gustave Effeil whom has we know built the Effeil Tower and was born and grew up in Dijon

Free entry but you need to go to the counter to get a little ticket before you cross into the galleries. I think it's just to find out where you come from for research purposes. The owl walk comes through here (see my other post) There's a small but nice green patch out the front if you need a rest.

Beautiful place with loads of art, a wide variety of it, and a bit of history! The Duke and duch*esses tombs are particularly impressive.

This museum is a must-see in Dijon with artwork from as early as the 14th century. It demonstrates the evolution of art from two to three-dimensional art employing more artistic technique & introducing light and depth.

Superb museum in a historical setting (palace of Burgundian dukes). What can be better? Well, it’s also free (permanent exhibition). The museum is not too big, so your mind can digest it and the collection is really stunning- starting from Middle Ages right to the XX centuries modernism. Amazing to see all those emotions portrayed by the artists- fear, hate, love, compassion. All this go through centuries of art. Sometimes you can feel yourself in the middle of the battle or a tragic mythological scene. I truly enjoyed this museum.

Ein wunderschönes Museum der Entdeckungen - auch Modelle aus slu*ters Arbeiten in der Chartreuse (Moses-Brunnen) den wir morgens sahen. Der Anbau passt sich bestens an den Altbau an - auch mit Gegenwartskunst, dort ein Gemälde von Gerhard Richter. Vom Mittelalter bis 19. Jahrhundert: Meisterwerke von Rude (Marseillaise) und seiner Frau Sophie, Canova, Guido Reni und vielen anderen. Die Sammlung ist barrierefrei, kostenlos zugänglich. Im UG Schließfächer, WCs. Ein Schatzhaus für alle mit medialen Zugängen!(Translated by Google)A beautiful museum of discoveries - including models from slu*ter's work in the Chartreuse (Moses Fountain) which we saw in the morning. The extension adapts perfectly to the old building - also with contemporary art, there a painting by Gerhard Richter. From the Middle Ages to the 19th Century: Masterpieces by Rude (Marseillaise) and his wife Sophie, Canova, Guido Reni and many others. The collection is barrier-free and accessible free of charge. Lockers and toilets in the basem*nt. A treasure house for everyone with media access!

Great museum with a lot of different exhibitions and displays, ranging from the history of the building itself to medieval up to 20C art as well as some contemporary exhibits at the very top floor of the museum. Free of charge to view the permanent collection but you have to pay to see the temporary exhibition.

Cool museum with a huge exhibition of art pieces. Interesting architecture of the space and friendly staff of the museum. If you are visiting Dijon and have some time for museums, I would recommend to visit Musee des Beaux-Arts.

The entrance is on the side of the large building that was once the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy. The collection spans a long period and is not so special. Sometimes you see an item that stands out but most of it you just pass.What is impressive are the tombs of the Dukes of Burgundy which are best seen from a balcony above.The museum is a maze of galleries with stairs and elevators everywhere. Navigation is a bit difficultEntrance is free.

This is an excellent museum, which welcomes visitors and is set in an excellent location full of history in its own right. It is free to enter and being a non French speaker, unlike my wife, I found the English translation at the foot of most labels really helpful. The descriptions and explanations are written in a friendly and informative manner that make you eager to learn more.My favourite discovery was about the 'mourners', a fascinating set of sculptures that accompany the tombs of Philip the bold and John the fearless. I was therefore excited to find miniatures of the mourners in the excellent gift shop, one of which now adorns my shelf at home. I can thoroughly recommend this as a must see venue.

I enjoyed my visit. The artwork is thoughtfully displayed, and there was a surprising number of sculptures. Admission is free to view the permanent collection.

Amazing museum in an amazing city. The museum is objectively small, only three floors, but what a chic and amazing exposition. I'm not talking about the fact that the entrance is free. This is absolutely and very important for all visitors, especially for those who go with the whole family and who want to join the works of art. And of course many thanks for this to the city. Where I was, I have not seen this anywhere else, it is unique, many thanks to the city for this ones more. Exposition from ancient times to the present day, very good logistics of rooms, very good arrangement of paintings, spacious halls - all this in general is conducive to a calm viewing of the collection.100% recommendation!

Its free, has amazing architecture to look at and some outstanding art as well. Just for the ceilings in some rooms it is worth a visit though. Go to the top floor and onto the balcony of the dukes to look at the coffins.

Nice museum with a lot of pictures and sculptures. Especially the pictures of Árpád Szenes and his wife. Free entry.

Follow the metal signs on the floor to reach the famous owl. The legend goes that if you touch the Owl while making a wish, it will come true.

Dijon’s Owl's Trail In the very heart of Dijon, you can follow a trail indicated by 22 owls on the cobblestones of pedestrian streets, to discover top places and points of interest of the city.

The owl on the pillar is quite small and could be missed so look carefully. Nevertheless, signs with owls are located all along the old town which I thought was cute and a great marketing tool to promote tourism

In fact, the idea with the Owl, and the tourist routes where you are accompanied by owl, is simply ingenious. this idea, of course, is also implemented in other cities. But in Dijon, which is a larger than other cities of the region where we were, this is a real help in order not to get lost and see the main sights of the city. Owl itself accompanied us almost everywhere where we were not in this city.

Dijon ist einfach eine Reise wert.Auf dem Weg durch Stadt muss man dem Vögelchen folgen und wird automatisch zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten geführt.(Translated by Google)Dijon is simply worth a trip.On the way through the city you have to follow the bird and it will automatically guide you to all the sights.

The Owl Trail is an absolutely ingenious idea for travellers to navigate and learn about the city!! Learned so much and had fun along the way. Great for children and adults alike.

The Owl trail is a fantastic way to discover Dijon. In addition to the 22 places along the route, there are tons of attractions along the way that you can get lost in. We took almost 2.5 hours to see everything because we kept stopping and wandering.Very unique and highly recommended. Worth the few euros it costs to get the official map or app.

Fun place to visit and try to grant your wishes by following the ritual of stroking the owl with your left hand. Love the history and the way the story has spread to other souvenirs in Dijon

It is indeed an owl, an overly hyped owl, faceless and about the size of the palm of my hand that is worthy of a lot of praise as it makes way for owles pretty much everywhere in this city, and that is pretty impressive in my book.Long live the owels!

Great walk around Dijon, the owls will take you to interesting places :)

By the time that you get to the now "faceless" owl you will have seen some amazing architecture and sights of Dijon. It's a wonderfully easy way to start a walking tour and, it starts really near the SNCF train station in the park (see photo)

Beautiful Monastery from the 12th century. Such a peaceful place to spend a couple of hours. Credit cards accepted. Cafeteria has vending machine with sandwiches, drinks/sodas and sweets. We saw a couple of dogs on a leash walking around. Souvenirs shop with books, cards and local products.

So peaceful. Gardens beautiful. Buildings very well cared for. Gave a real feel when the monks lived there

I recently visited Fontenay Abbey and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The stunning architecture and beautiful gardens left me in awe. Serene place to sit and contemplate being a monk! The guided tour was only in French which was disappointing but the leaflet helped me understand the history of the abbey. The world's first hydraulic iron forge was interesting. Overall, a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history and architecture. Definitely deserving of 5 stars.

Beautiful. Visited in the off-season and my daughter and I were the only two visiting at the time. Very peaceful and one can have fun imagining the daily lives of monks here nearly 900 years ago! If you are in the Cote d'Or, definitely make it a stop. You will not be disappointed. Even trout for the young ones to spy.

It's an amazing place to visit. Great, it is now a Unesco site

In perfect condition abbey with the possibility to walk the grounds with our big friend Jack. Cherry to thé cake: use of the Super Nice and clean camper parking. Thank you abbey of Fontenay to provide such a nice place for the night 🙏

Magnificent Abbey steeped in history. Lovely place to walk around and take in nature and the beautiful architecture.

Worth a look if in the area, it's just over an hour from Beaune, beautifully kept and very interesting. Spent just over an hour there, entry is 11 euros. Refreshments on site by way of vending machines and there are toilets. Lovely gift shop at the exit.

Absolutely stunning! It really worth going inside and spend peaceful time in the area of large monastery where 200 monks have lived during its greatest times.Partially preserved and largely rennovated monastery. Privately held by the relatives of Montgolfier family.TIP: don’t miss replica of hydraulic forge from 12th century - first of its kind in Europe.

What a great place to visit if you are around. It is beautiful and we could see the really take care of everything, during our visit it was possible to see some employees working around. We had a blast, definitely a must go in Burgundy!

An interesting visit to this venerable abby. Did not know that it is privately owned and that was limiting to the tour and understanding.

We visited in November, no one else there! Beautifully restored Abbey, incredible

Beautifully situated, well kept sobre yet elegant abbey. Tours in French but multilingual handouts are available. Entrance price is somewhat steep (€11). Don’t miss Europe’s oldest hydraulical hammer in the smithy!

Amazing place to visit during Christmas season.Beautiful vibes, nice decorations, yummy food and games for adults and kids.Moreover, the architecture of the buildings is spectacular.I highly recommend this place.

A must visit when you are in Lille. All the buildings surrounding the place are incredibly beautiful

Real nice lights, Christmas ambiente, music and a lot of people enjoying the coming festive days. Better go to the stairs of the theater for a better view and photo.

The very heart of Lille and does not disappoint. The eclectic mix of building styles actually makes the Grand Place unique and interesting. I had a lovely meal at President brasserie on the Grand Place who accepts solo diners.

Heart of the town, main square. Lot of tourist, lot of restaurants and bars, great spot for picture

The heart of the historic Lille - alongside the Place Louise de Bettignies & streets around...Every building here is worth a closer encounter :)

Situated in Charles de Gaulle square in Lille surrounded by 16 century architect great place to visit.

Très belle place . The Grand Place of Lille is wonderful, especially in summer. It is very clean and filled with numerous restaurants and cafés. It is definitely a must-visit place in Lille.

Atmosphere where you feel relaxed and living like in a different world

Very beautiful, the beggars can be annoying, don't give them anything and pay attention to your bag cause they can have one sneak behind you to steal stuff from your bags. Otherwise enjoy this place.

Lille’s biggest square where you can find the goddess statue, the vielle bourse, the theatre alongside different restaurants. This place is vivid and full of people.

Grand PlaceGeneral Charles de Gaulle Square is historically the central square of the city of Lille and houses the largest market in the area.Nice architecture, with many beautiful buildings around it. Cobbled streets that lead you to discover the magic that is hidden in the adjacent streets and the smallest alleys.

A wonderful memorial. Spend some time here to reflect on the men who walked through on their way to war and never returned. Be sure to catch "The Last Post" ceremony at 8:00 every evening. Be there 30 minutes early to catch a good viewing point.

Went to the last lost ceremony. What a service. A genuinely beautiful thing. It is under construction at the moment as the stone has become a bit weathered, i think. It is still a strengely beautiful place. If you're in the area...8pm every evening... get yourself there for the last post ceremony.

Currently under major renovation so most of memorial under cover. Last Post at 8pm each night. Work will take a couple of years at present. Still a magical, thought-provoking place

This memorial is currently undergoing a large renovation & sadly meant that it is currently covered with scaffolding & tarpaulins. That aside it is still a magnificent memorial & attending the last post at 8pm every night should be a priority visit if you are anywhere nearby. It is well attended so get there early to get a good spot to watch the very moving ceremony. We will remember them.

This is a WW1 memorial in Ypres, Belgium dedicated to the soldiers of British and Commonwealth whose graves are unknown. I & Family read there aloud a poem The Flanders Fields by John McCrae and we all were very moved visiting this monument and various Military Cementaries.

Excellent. A fitting & moving monument to the soldiers & service men & women of The Great War. The daily evening service provides a few minutes to reflect & ponder the past as well as the future.The thought of so many with unknown graves is so sad. The people of Flanders & in particular Ypres to maintain such a monument & tradition is testimony to their gratitude to those who died.

Important!The site is undergoing maintenance for all of 2023 so the gate is covered with scaffolding.The site is astounding and worth a visit if you're in the city.Every evening they pay tribute to those named here and lay wreaths to the fallen with buglers performing the last post. This tends to get very busy so be sure to arrive early.

The monument is being refurbished but is still impressive. Attended the daily 8pm Last Post ceremony, which was well done and meaningful, honoring the WWI fallen on the Allied side. Highly recommended!

A very sobering experience. To see the 50,000+ names makes them people and not just part of a statistic. The remembrance ceremony at 20.00hrs each day is very well done, is somber, and they do ask people not to applaud.

Such an evocative place.So, many names of those who have no known grave and from so many different nations.It is a sobering experience just to see so many names, ranks, regiments.On the right hand side (if approaching from town) and just before you go under the gate there is a slope, if you walk up there you can find the Indian and the Ghurka memorials. There is also a fabulous scale model of the Menin Gate with Braille panels for those with a visual impairment.You won't be disappointed and if in the area it is a must see monument to those who gave their tomorrow's for our today's.

Amazing experience this. Playing of the last post. Every night at 8pm. Loads of people came to see it. Very moving experience. Something you must see in your life. Highly recommend. Would even of made a long trip to see it.

They’re undertaking a huge renovation on the Menin Gate, so we were unable to see it in all its grandeur, but most of the name panels are visible still inside which gives you a hugely powerful impression of just how many men are missing from the war. It truly is a vast number.Although we’d have loved to have seen the gate in all its glory, we’re happy that they’re undertaking such a significant renovation to ensure that this important memorial remains in great condition for future generations.

Our generation need to remember and salute those who fought but had no future themselves.The quiet restrained experience of listening to those 3 bugles makes you feel humble in this torrid world."Give peace a chance" If only !

A place everyone needs to visit and see and listen to the last Post being played. Currently under going restoration till 2025 but still a place of reflection.Set at the gate of the walls of Ypres this is a peaceful site to remember those fallen in WW1.

We attended the Last Post Ceremony which takes place at 8pm daily. A very moving act if remembrance. Get there early so you can see what's going on.

7/7/23 Our Visit to Ypres Menin Gate in memory of a Great Uncle who fought and lost his life in WW1 Private Edward Victor Halksworth commemorated at Menin Gate Memorial. Unfortunately due to restoration work the panels were under scaffolding so visitors are unable to view them.

Only reason for 4 stars is scaffolding is up so couldnt see the actual gate but went there for armistice day and watched the last post ceremony from the town centre and it was a beautiful service

This is an absolute must visit along with the beautiful town of Ypres, whether a history buff or a casual visitor. Don't miss the the Last Post at the Menin Gate a ceremony that has been performed every evening since the Menin Gate memorial was opened. Plenty of accommodation and restaurants in Ypres.⁹To the memory of the fallen.Lest we forget ❤️ 🌹

A truly humbling experience. This was the highlight of our short trip to Belgium. A must visit for those wishing to pay their respects.

I've been to the last post ceremony many times, and it is as moving as ever. The extensive renovation works do not detract from the atmosphere. Utterly superb

I already visited the Menin Gate many times in my life and when I did yesterday 26.09.23 I found the Gate currently being restored which of course was a shame. However, I fully understand the necessity of doing so and look forward to see the Gate again in its full beauty.The Poppies wreath is to be found in front of the Gate about 50 mtrs further down the road.Lest we forget 🏵️

Was such a great atmosphere! The evening last post ceremony was incredible and something I will never ever forget. Would definitely recommend watching the ceremony as it's amazing to witness. The only reason for the 4/5 instead of 5/5 stars was because unfortunately when we visited there was scaffolding up but that can't be helped-hoping to visit again when the scaffolding is gone!
