Discover Chasseneuil-Du-Poitou

Chasseneuil-Du-Poitou offers several ways to plan your stay: Futuroscope Xperiences combines a theme park and water park, while nature trails and opportunities to explore local history offer different focal points. You can choose what to do based on whether you are most interested in attractions, landscapes or heritage.

Futuroscope and activities for children

Futuroscope Xperiences in Chasseneuil-Du-Poitou brings together the Futuroscope theme park and the Aquascope water park. It offers more than 40 attractions and experiences. This number gives an idea of the range of activities available; Aquascope explicitly adds a water park to the theme park. When choosing activities for your stay, these are two distinct focal points within the offer described.

Futuropolis is an area for children with attractions, water games and interactive courses. For travelers with children, this focus is a practical point of reference when considering activities. The features described range from attractions and water games to courses, making Futuropolis a distinct child-focused option.

Futuroscope Park can be reached by car, train or via the A10 motorway. These are three ways to travel to the park. When planning, you can consider how to get there separately from choosing what to do: on one side are the car, train and A10, and on the other are the park’s different offerings and their respective focal points.

Nature trails and green spaces

The Promenade des Marais is a nature trail near the center of Chasseneuil-Du-Poitou. It follows an accessible path between small footbridges, wetlands and viewpoints overlooking the river. The landscape along the trail is therefore characterized by a combination of footbridges, wetland areas and river views. If you prefer a nature route to a themed trail about local history, the Promenade des Marais is a clearly identified option.

Another kind of green space in the town is Parc de la Ribaudière: it is a two-hectare green space in Chasseneuil-Du-Poitou. Unlike the Promenade des Marais, which is described in terms of its path and landscape features, the size of Parc de la Ribaudière is a useful point of reference. Both details help distinguish the town’s different nature and green-space features without combining them into a single route.

Local history and heritage

The “Promenade au cœur du passé” is a walking route exploring the history and heritage of Chasseneuil-Du-Poitou. It features explanatory panels, notable sites and historical anecdotes. The subject is explored along a route that brings together explanations, places and stories. This sets it apart from a visit centered on collection items.

The Musée La Maison d’Autrefois presents its collection in nine themed rooms. On display are regional furniture, clothing, bonnets and caps, as well as tools and everyday objects. The museum offers both self-guided and guided visits. Comparing the two cultural offerings is straightforward: the Promenade au cœur du passé is a history-focused walking route with panels and anecdotes, while the museum focuses on objects and their presentation in themed rooms.

The Moulin d’Anguitard is also part of the town’s historical story. It is located by the water and recalls former milling activity connected with the river. This adds another aspect of heritage to the walking route and museum collection: the memory of an earlier activity by the water. Each offering has its own focus, so you can choose according to your interest in walking routes, collections or milling history.
