Morning
Welcome to one of Europe’s most innovative theme parks. Regularly awarded for the quality of its attractions and technological boldness, Futuroscope is unlike any other park. Here, you don’t queue for a simple ride, you step into immersive experiences featuring giant screens, synchronised motion and spectacular staging. From the very first attractions, the “wow” moments come thick and fast. You fly, dive and explore.
Afternoon & Evening
In the afternoon, alternate between high-adrenaline sensations and more contemplative discoveries. The park stands out for its creativity, blending humour, emotion and visual innovation. Both children and adults find their own rhythm.
After dark, the night show transforms the site into an open-air stage: monumental projections, water effects and light displays create a spectacular finale. An intense and memorable first day that sets the tone for the entire stay. To extend the magic, spend the night in a cabin at Station Cosmos.

Morning. After the intensity of Futuroscope, it’s a complete change of atmosphere at DéfiPlanet’. Swap giant screens for trees and clearings. Settle into unusual accommodation — a treehouse, themed cottage or imaginative setting — where even the night becomes part of the adventure.
Afternoon & Evening. DéfiPlanet’ is not just a place to sleep. The park offers playful interactive trails, outdoor activities and family challenges. You learn while having fun, explore and take part. Children move from one activity to the next while parents enjoy the peaceful green surroundings.
By evening, the atmosphere softens. Dinner on-site or on a terrace, then night falls gently over the cabins. A welcome pause between more dynamic days.

Morning. Head to the Vallée des Singes (Valley of the Monkeys). Here, there are no cages — primates roam freely in vast natural areas. Walk along elevated pathways just metres from lemurs or gorillas.
Afternoon. Scheduled feeding sessions help visitors understand the species and their behaviours. An immersive, educational, impressive — and often delightfully funny — experience.

Afternoon. You can return calmly to Poitiers to explore its major Romanesque landmarks.
Or, if there’s still energy to burn, hop on the panoramic rail-bike. Pedal together as a family across viaducts and open views on a former railway line. A fun and original finale.
