zeb Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Futuroscope (just south of Poitiers!) is excellent for teenagers. They have a website www.futuroscope.comIt looks fairly expensive but is well worth it for the whole day, especially if you stay for the light show, and food is reasonable. Get there early though - the schools break up tomorrow for the summer!Or...you could take them to Angouleme to Nautilus if the weather is good, and/or the beach at Royan. Or you could even drop them off in town (Angouleme) for a couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athene Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Les Antilles in Jonzac. You can get day passes! It is a sort of seaside resort under a dome - Centre Park style. Has all kinds of things - water slide, diving, wave machines, boats and beach. Cafe too. It is safe with pool guards.There is also a gym. And there is a Casino for you whilst they cavort! You can make a mint ready for their next excursion! lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul16 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Vello Rail at Confolens will sort them out... Good few hours worth through the countryside..Quick tip tell them you will do the cycling on the way back as it is down hill [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Price Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Thanks to all of you for posting such excellent ideas. The week went vey well except for the awful weather.... To the list suggested, I would add the Paleosite (http://www.paleosite.fr) between Cognac and Saintes. Very interesting for a few hours and mostly inside should it be raining.BestNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
