Le Village des Automates
Close to Aix-en-Provence, on a road with several ‘châteaux de vin’, you find this outdoor amusement park for kids with lots and lots of fun to play. While driving on the road that leads you to Le Village des Automates in Saint-Cannat, you just can’t miss the huge blue whale that almost screams: ‘come here’. Well, my kids got that message.
Factor cute
The park is located in a forest and is very good to manage with young kids. Although some of the theme attractions are kind of old-fashioned, the cuteness factor wins. Kids don’t even see that. They are far too happy with all the creative slides, a bicycle track, all kinds of swings, a petit train and more. A lot of the attractions are suitable for the young ones, my youngest was 2 years old when we visited and he had a blast as well. My oldest had the time of her life when she and her cousin drove a Barbie pink Safari Jeep. It was hilarious for us parents too, lol. We have to visit again, because Le Village des Automates build a lot of new cool attractions. It extended with a boats circuit, a fishnet parcours and a labyrinth.
And there is more
You can spend hours of fun in this outdoor amusement park for kids, on hot days you can even cool off with some splashing water objects. Animal lovers can have the time of their lives because there is a little farm too, with donkeys and goats. There is a small cafeteria that offers wraps, salads and savory pancakes. But of course you are welcome to bring your own picnic (just don’t bring the fastfood from the neighbors). When your kid (and you) still have energy left, you could visit the next-door indoor play park Montopoto. You could also safe this one for a rainy day!
