4月中旬,我们一群人来到pons 的" le chateau des enigmes" 游玩。 这次寻常的一日游让我们大家都很开心, 我们玩的很愉快。 这家城堡很是漂亮,环境也是非常的好,真正让我们度过了精彩的一天。 特别的是前台接待都很热情善良,其中一个前台会说中文,让我们感到很亲切。 这里的游戏很有趣益智,长达3个小时的围绕三个火枪手故事而开展的游戏很适合大人和小孩。 本人觉得是一家人出游最好的选择。 如果你想,你还有英文的译本。最后祝大家假期愉快!
Bonjour. Nous sommes ravis de voir que vous avez passé un agréable moment en famille dans notre parc de loisirs. Le Château est en constante rénovation durant l’ouverture du parcours de jeux en 2000, car il était alors dans un état de délabrement avancé (absence de portes, vitraux cassés, toiture abîmée...). C’est un travail de longue haleine et beaucoup de choses ont déjà été faites permettant maintenant de faire découvrir le château à un large public.Par ailleurs, le prix d’entrée correspond aux tarifs des autres activités dédiées aux familles dans la Région (voir même un tarif inférieur par rapport à d’autres sites comme le Zoo de la Palmyre ou l’Aquarium de la Rochelle) à durée de visite similaire.Nous vous remercions pour votre commentaire et espérons vous revoir prochainement.Cordialement, L’équipe du “Château des Énigmes”
Brilliant day out for everyone in the family - lots of little puzzles to solve, in the grounds of a beautiful small chateau - we've lived locallly for 7 years and our girls (now 10 & 13) have wanted to go back each year.
Our children, 9 & 11, enjoyed the 24 puzzles which have to be solved around the grounds an in the chateaux and took in the history and story of the musketeers. A pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.
Second visit and enjoyed just as much! Excellent idea and theme, kids and grown ups had fun. Fabulous food and friendly service.
Great fun for kids solving the musketeer-themed puzzles and roaming round the site in the sunshine. Although simple enough for littlies to answer, the challenges are diverse, imaginative, large-scale and well constructed. (Inputting the answers at the end was the only slightly tedious part due to shortage of available computers.) Nice little cafe for a break half way through, too.Well worth a visit. Children have subsequently become addicted to the "Dogtanion and the 3 Muskehounds" cartoon I inadvertently exposed them to via the internet, having had their interest in the musketeers raised by this quiz-trail....but fortunately the series DVDs are now widely available :-)
The kids were really not looking forward to being dragged around a "boring castle" and we weren't looking forward to the moans. However, we all needn't have worried. An interactive and engaging few hours followed our arrival and great family fun. Highly recommended, a bit off the beaten track, but really worthwhile for all ages. Everything in English as well as French.
We visited this castle as a trip brake on our way from Tours to Bayonne. We were looking for some place to visit but not bore our 5 years-old daughter. The visit to the Chateau d'Usson was perfect for that purpose and it allowed us to move our legs and picnic right there too. There is a parking place right in front of the castle so you can leave your food there and take it when its time. During summer, there is a restaurant available in the castle. Remember to wear comfortable clothes and shoes as you'll be walking outdoors for a while.The castle itself is not comparable to those big and popular ones by the Loire river. Chateau d'Usson is small but beautiful with not huge gardens but a small forest to explore around. What makes this castle special is the treasure hunt game. This is a perfect game for young children but it also can make adults have a fun while exploring every corner of the castle grounds and the interior too.At the entrance the staff welcomed us and explained everything about the game. They spoke French and English. We were given the map where we should write the answers to every on of the 25 tasks. The map was only in French and although most of the questions can be easily answered, you may need a dictionary for some words. Along the hunt, there are explanatory posts written in French and English. At the end of the game you have to solve a final quiz and give the answer to someone from the staff. If you are right, you would be officially named musketeer and get your certificate.Although we loved the time we spent there, there are a few things that should be improved. All the property suffers a lack of maintenance. It looks like it is a lot of work to have such a place up kept and you can see they try hard and they love what they do but still you pay an entrance (not cheap) and want everything as good as possible. Another improving point is having the map in English too and maybe a printed paper with the texts along the way in other languages as German or Spanish. The castle itself needs some restoration is some areas and more decoration inside would be good. Last thing to make it even better for the kids would be that the staff member that gives you the musketeer certificate would be dress as a king or queen and make the nomination more ceremonious.All that said, I'd recommend this place for a 3 hours stop along the route through France if you have young children.
Our 7, 5 and 3.5 year old were totally captivated by solving the 24 clues and learning about the Muskateers. We took a picnic. It is quite expensive byThe time you have paid 5 entrances - 13 euros for adults, 10 for children over 4 but they have not stopped taking about ' 'Milady'. The setting is stunning and we would love to go and stay in the Tree houses for the night.I wouldn't travel hours to come here but if you are close by and either the weather is too hot and some shade is required or it's an overcast and rainy day this is definitely worth a trip.
This is a great day out for the family. Really fun treasure trail, with a great picnic spot in the middle. Lots of parking. They also have some tree houses where you can stay overnight.
