Presentation

A weekend with two incredible visits: the Wild Lights Festival in Peaugres and a visit to the Ideal Palace in Hauterives. With a night in a charming guesthouse (and breakfast).

Day 1 (afternoon):
The first day will be dedicated to visiting the Peaugres Safari. Meet wild animals by car in a 13-hectare park and a walking tour to discover primates, tigers and lions, sea lions, etc.
At nightfall, with your same ticket, you can stroll through the park's paths surrounded by more than 2000 hand-crafted light sculptures. A breathtaking spectacle that will delight children of all ages.
This 4th edition is exceptional: sound and light show on the facade of the park's castle and a new theme: dinosaurs.

The evening:
After visiting the park and its illuminations (from mid-October to the end of March), settle into a cozy guest room (subject to availability).
You will choose whether or not to have dinner at your accommodation (optional). After a good night's sleep, a good breakfast (included) will give you the energy you need for your visit to the Palais Idéal.

Day 2: Morning
Your place is reserved, you can visit the Ideal Palace of Postman Cheval in Hauterives. This visit will transport you to the world of this nature-loving postman who worked tirelessly for 33 years to build this palace and make his dream come true.
The visit can last 1 hour or 2 hours.
Don't miss the tomb of Ferdinand Cheval in the town cemetery (his second masterpiece).
Afternoon:
After visiting the ideal palace, the whole family can stroll through the village and solve puzzles thanks to the interactive game: The Quest of the 3 Giants.
The pitch: the 3 giants have escaped from the ideal palace and you must solve puzzles to get them back before the palace collapses!
It's free and it's on the "Quest for the 3 Giants" app.
Departure from in front of the tourist office (6, rue André Malraux) in Hauterives.
For ages 6 and up. No elevation changes. Approximately 1.5 hours of play and walking.
