Pre des Pitchouns - A Fun-Filled Day for the Whole Family.

This activity filled play-park nestled in a valley near Auribeau-sur-Siagne is a great value day out for all the family. It features games and activities galore, a small petting farm and in the summer months a water park area. There is age-specific entertainment and even plenty for the adults to get stuck into as well.

• For the little ones (under 5) there is a large dedicated (gated) play area with plenty of swings, slides, roundabouts, mini trampolines, a ball pool and little trikes to ride.

• For the children aged 6 upwards there are lots of big trampolines, climbing frames, a zip line, football pitches, roundabouts and cabanes.

Zipline

• For kids of all ages there is mini-golf, table football (babyfoot), pool tables, table tennis and boules. All of these activities are included in the price, you just need to borrow the equipment from the kiosk and leave some form of deposit / ID as a guarantee.

We visited with another family and whilst the kids were off playing, the adults had their own pool / table tennis / mini-golf tournament!

The whole park is gated so you can let your kids run free and there are loads of shady seating areas and sunloungers.  The park is really well maintained and all the staff are kind and courteous. Every year they have introduced new activities and equipment.

Picnics and gouters are forbidden in the park but the snack bar is very good and reasonably priced – a kids meal of nuggets and chips (other choices available), a drink, a dessert and a toy is €6.50. You order at the entry cabin and then the kitchen will shout out your name when it’s ready.  Food is served 11.45am – 1.45pm.

Every so often, you will hear a bell ringing which is to signify that the ‘farm’ is open for petting. They have rabbits, chickens, goats and geese and the children are allowed into the enclosures to stroke and hold them.

Charitable link

The owners have a strong connection with a charity called Association Adrien which helps support sick children in the PACA region. They visit them in the hospitals with magicians and ‘super heroes’, organise holidays and outings all with the aim of bringing some happiness despite their illnesses. From each entry ticket they donate €0,50 cents to the charity. The last donation they made was for over €4,500. More information can be found here. Association Adrien
