Dolancourt: Nigloland, Nature and Local History

If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Dolancourt, a good place to start is by asking which aspects of the town matter most for your stay. Nigloland offers a specific leisure attraction; nature, waterways and the Church of Saint-Léger add to the picture of the town. This lets you explore Dolancourt through different interests rather than focusing on a single attraction. These different themes can help you decide whether Dolancourt suits your travel plans.

Nigloland and its attractions

Nigloland in Dolancourt is a family amusement park with 44 attractions and shows. The number and program may change, so check the park’s current information before your trip.

The family ride Rivière des Fées combines a river, flowers and lush vegetation as its theme. Maison de Niglo takes a different approach: this immersive walkthrough was designed to bring the characters to life. The two attractions therefore differ in theme—landscape elements in one, characters and their immersive presentation in the other.

The Niglo Show is a revue featuring animatronics. Alongside the family ride and walkthrough, it offers another format. If you want to categorize the park’s offerings by theme, you can look at their different focuses: nature motifs, characters or a revue.

Nature and landscape

Nigloland is located in the heart of the protected Forêt d’Orient. The 40 hectares of Nigloland are home to trees that are 100 years old. These old trees add a landscape element to the attractions and shows.

Dolancourt itself is located southeast of the Forêt d’Orient Regional Nature Park. The Aube and the Landion are the main waterways that run through the town.

Local history and food

The Church of Saint-Léger dates from the 19th century. Eden Palais is also a place typical of that century and features the authentic Carrousel 1900 attraction. Both offer a historical connection, but in different ways: for the church, it is about when it was built; for Eden Palais, it is about the place’s typical character. The church thus complements the park themes with its own link to local history.

Andouillette de Troyes is also on the menu at Nigloland’s restaurants. If this dish interests you, it provides a specific culinary connection within the park.

Find a hotel based on your reason for travelling

A visit focused on Nigloland differs in its focus from a trip that also includes the waterways and the Church of Saint-Léger. Look for hotels in Dolancourt that suit your reason for travelling, and check the specific details of the offers you compare.
