)
.
Between the crispy stands, the rides for all ages (and the thrills), the angling and other rifle shooting, there is something for everyone.
Among the new features, “the Skyflyer”, 40-meter flying chairs, but also “The Mouse”, a family roller coaster.
“It's a French ride which was in an amusement park which did not work in Turkey and which we completely redone”, explains Franck Pfausser, the president of the fairgrounds, who reassures the most daring.
“It’s a ride for young and old.
We find a 4-seater car, which turns on itself, including in turns.
Enough to offer a beautiful view of the fairground, 15 meters high.
Another new feature is the “Dark Show”, a horror-themed walking tour.
“Everything is really focused on actors who wait for visitors in somewhat hidden, strategic places, sometimes in cages, sometimes also on the course,” explains Dylan Chemin, the boss of this Horror Show.
“It’s a visit to be made as a family, often in the dark.”
The Orient Forest Wildlife Area.
While waiting for sunny days, the park reopens its doors during the holidays in the afternoon from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., between Mesnil-Saint-Père and Piney.
This is the opportunity to rediscover the dozen species of large herbivores, which live here in semi-freedom.
Deer, Aurochs, tarpan horses, wild boars, or even European bison and elk.
A young 9-month-old female elk arrived at the beginning of February from Deux-Sèvres.
She will spend a few months in Aube before leaving for a new park being built in Rambouillet.
