Keeping children busy in Corrèze during the spring

The year goes by and spring is already here, bringing with it the Easter bells that delight young and old alike. Take advantage of this chocolate festival to take your children to Jardin de Colette. Treasure hunts, show, make-up and spring decoration will enchant your day with a moment of sharing and pleasure. Do you prefer the traditional egg hunt? Do not deprive yourself at the Château de Ventadour or that of Pompadour. After a chocolate break, visit the Tours de Merle, medieval natural fortresses surrounded by a 10 ha park in the heart of the forest. Fun workshops are organized to amuse the children. Archaeology, kite building or guided tours told by a former resident, will leave them with memorable memories of Corrèze in the spring.

Consider municipal swimming pools and indoor water parks, which are open for a swimming break. Like Le Center Aqua in Tulle, but also in Ussel, Bort-les-Orgues, Egletons… And Brive of course!

All year round, visit the Pig Path " La Sente aux cochons", a trail around the pig, the animal but also the delicacy! A surprising natural site that will please the whole family.
