Take the car on the ferry from Cork to Roscoff next summer for a wonderful family holiday. La Pinède parc sits in Les Mathes, between the unspoilt Atlantic coast and the Gironde estuary.
La Pinède park is nestled in Les Mathes, perfectly situated between the pristine Atlantic coast and the serene Gironde estuary. Enveloped by the calming shade of maritime pines, the park offers immediate access to excitement: it's conveniently adjacent to Luna Park's thrilling fairground rides (open July & August). Whether seeking thrills or tranquility, La Pinède promises the ideal holiday experience.
The aqua park at La Pinède is an adventure haven featuring rides, slides, and splash parks. It boasts towering water slides, cascading waterfalls, and a covered heated pool. Expect the kids to spend their days with wet hair and pruned fingers.
After all the splashing around, everyone will need to refuel. The park's own bakery offers fresh brioches, croissants, and pains au chocolat every morning, ensuring snack times are delicious — if you can lure anyone out of the pool.
Beyond the exhilarating rides, La Pinède offers much more. A vibrant kids’ club organizes sports tournaments, outings, and treasure hunts, while adults can unwind in the shaded comfort of their holiday homes with a good book. Evenings are filled with enjoyable dining and live entertainment, bringing everyone together for memorable moments.
Why you’ll love it:
- Grab a different lunch every day: pizza, fresh seafood, burgers…it’s all here
- Choose the brilliant aqua park or the gorgeous beaches nearby
- Warm yourself on the parc’s sun terrace while the kids whizz down slides
