Summer’s here and tourists are coming to our beautiful regions of Nouvelle Aquitaine and Occitanie. The perfect opportunity for us to realise how lucky we are to be living all year round in a place that some choose as their holiday destination.

Whether you’re a local or a tourist, no matter the weather, you will never get bored. Between the beautiful landscapes, the beaches, the mountains, the forests, the dynamic cities, the picturesque villages and the historic places, there is more than enough to keep you entertained!

The holiday are also an opportunity to be with family and friends so here’s our top 5 activities to do in the South-West, particularly to entertain your children, this summer or during the year!

The Futuroscope: for 30 years now, this amusement parc in Nouvelle Aquitaine near Poitiers keeps on finding new ways to amuse us with new amazing activities using new technologies and optical illusions. This parc is specifically made for children and offers activities for everyone!

La Cité de l’Espace: in Toulouse, the city of aeronautics in France, la Cité de l’Espace is supported by CNES (National Centre of Spatial Studies) and Météo France (France Weather). Why not enjoy this place as a family, learning while having fun, participating in different experiments and watching breathtaking movies in the 3D cinema.

Lascaux: its opening in December was quite the event. Discovered in 1940, it is a journey back in time to the origins of art in Humanity. The new site is grand, go discover it!

La Dune du Pilat: for a "nature" outing, the largest dune in Europe is a perfect opportunity for some breathtaking views if you are on the coast. Get a breath of fresh air in this unusual and unique place.

La Rochelle Aquarium: it is one of the most famous aquariums of the region if not the most famous. Discover the marine animals without disturbing them and without getting wet!
