Built in 1749, the château discreetly watches over this unspoilt area. Here, there's no mechanical noise and no long queues: you enter as if you were pushing open the door to a large garden. And when heritage meets plants, century-old trees become landmarks, and nature gently sets the pace for every moment. In the Gataudière adventure park in Marennes, you walk on the grass, marvel at a ray of light filtering through the foliage, and without realizing it, you slow down.
It's this special atmosphere that makes the park so unique. Welcome to a place where you can relax and have fun in the fresh air, in an environment that inspires as much as it amuses.
accrobranche: a suspended moment between sky and summit for young and old alike
Theaccrobranche activity begins at the foot of the trees, in a space bathed in light. At the heart of La Gataudière adventure park in Marennes, you don't climb to surpass yourself at all costs, but to gain height gently, at your own pace, in complete confidence.
The seven courses on offer here are suitable for all ages and abilities: from safe first steps on a continuous lifeline from age 3, to aerial traverses of independent zip lines from age 6.
At the park, every obstacle becomes a balancing act, every platform a different viewpoint over the canopy. You climb, you watch, you cheer, you laugh. Here, accrobranche is a far cry from formatted courses: in a joyful, caring atmosphere, everyone - children, parents, grandparents - advances at their own pace, buoyed by nature and a new-found confidence.
In this suspended moment, we reconnect with our bodies, with nature, and sometimes with a little pride in having surpassed ourselves. Not to perform, but to live the moment to the full, buoyed by the calm and simple joy of being there.
Bubble soccer, catapult, Gellyball: fun in all its forms
At La Gataudière, sensations come à la carte. After a trip to the summits, we come back down to earth... only to bounce back elsewhere. Each activity has its own energy, surprise and laughter. Whether you like running, aiming high or simply trying out new activities, here you'll find the activity that resonates with your personality.
Paintball and gellyball: the team game revisited
Paintball, accessible from the age of 9, is played on six different terrains, with scenarios adapted to all ages. The spirit remains joyful, dynamic and non-aggressive: you can challenge each other for fun, hide as if in a giant game of hide-and-seek, and let yourself be carried away by the collective atmosphere. For younger visitors, there's Gellyball: the same principle, but with gelatinous balls and no splashes. The experience is just as immersive, but even gentler. Perfect for children aged 6 and over, who discover adventure in complete safety.
Bubble soccer: roll, bounce, laugh
Imagine being launched at full speed... inside an inflatable bubble. From the age of 7, bubble soccer turns a simple match into a laughing matter. There are two fields for adults and one for children. Here, you often fall, rarely score, but always have fun. It's the kind of activity where you forget everything except to smile.
Extreme catapult: 140 km/h of freedom
From age 16 upwards, theextreme catapult propels the most daring in a 90-meter horizontal jump, reaching 140 km/h in two seconds. Sensations guaranteed, in a 100% natural setting. A minute of pure adrenalin, followed by a breath of fresh air... and often, a moment of pride.
Pedal go-karts and disc golf: gentle, shared activities
The pedal go-kart, on the other hand, gets everyone on the same wavelength. Children, adults, parent-child duo: here, it's the momentum that counts. There's no stopwatch or fixed circuit, just the pleasure of riding together. And to vary the pleasures, try out the new 2024 feature: disc golf. A natural and relaxed version of golf, with frisbees tossed between the trees. Fun, peaceful, accessible... and the perfect way to round off the day.
Whether you've come to challenge yourself or just for the fun of it, La Gataudière adventure park in Marennes is a place where everyone can experience adventure in their own way. Here, emotions flow, laughter abounds, and the link with nature is never broken. A great way to get moving... without ever having to rush.
