The attractions of 2016 in the Vendée
The biggest and most spectacular new attraction in the Vendee in 2016 is O’Gliss Park. This is a huge waterpark (the biggest in Europe) for the entire family. The designers of the adventure park Indian Forest have come up with a brand new concept: a park measuring 6 hectares, where both children and real thrill seekers can have fun splashing around.
O’Gliss Park is divided into 4 areas:
– The Lud’OParc, specially designated for children
– The Sunset Playa, with a wave pool, palm trees and sun beds, an ideal location to fully charge your battery again
– The ExploralO, with no more than 4 different white water slides surrounded by a tropical forest.
– The Delir’Space, where you will find 12 (!!!) different waterslides that are classified like ski slopes: green for the budding swimmers, blue and red for the more experienced and black for the bravest of all.
Don’t miss it this year: historical amusement park Puy du Fou
New shows every year, the best amusement park in the whole world…you can only describe Puy du Fou with superlatives! This park is dedicated to the history of France and has a new attraction yet again in 2016: ‘Le Dernier Panache’. This show, set against de backdrop of the American Independence war, is the biggest one Puy du Fou has ever had until now and unlike anything else you’ve ever seen.

The skippers will depart on November 6 for a solo tour around the world. A great event for sail enthusiasts, but also a perfect opportunity for everyone else to take a tour around the Village of Vendée Globe. This Village hosts tourists, families and others who follow the race and wish to entertain themselves during the start and finish of the race in Port Olona at Sables d’Olonne.
