Family weekend in Berry
Looking for a family weekend getaway in the countryside, filled with nature, fun discoveries, and unique experiences? Berry is the perfect destination for all ages.
Easily accessible from your hotel in Vierzon, this authentic region is brimming with activities designed for sharing special moments together, far from the hustle and bustle.
Located in Azay-le-Ferron, the Haute-Touche Zoological Reserve is a must-see in Berry.
It's the largest animal park in France, covering over 500 hectares and home to nearly 1,500 animals representing more than 130 species.
Start your visit with a 4.5 km drive-through safari, getting up close to European wildlife (deer, fallow deer, wild boar, etc.).
You can then continue on foot, by bike, in a horse-drawn carriage, or in an electric buggy, along shaded trails winding through forests, plains, and past ponds.
Embark in Saint-Satur aboard the Raboliot. This 19-meter sand barge offers family-friendly cruises on the Loire.
Drifting along the water, you'll discover the Loire from a different perspective, in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere, ideal for introducing young children to the magic of this royal river.
Head to Nançay for a scientific adventure accessible to all. The Star Center offers a fun and interactive exhibition of over 250 m² dedicated to the sciences of the Universe.
Guided by Professor Nançay himself, children can ride a space bike, explore an interactive rocket, and discover the evolution of sky observation.
New for 2026: a playable retro gaming exhibition dedicated to space-themed video games, for an even more captivating experience.
To fully enjoy your family weekend in the Berry region, unpack your bags at our Hotel Le Continental in Vierzon.
Our triple and family rooms can accommodate 3 to 4 people. You can also enjoy our buffet breakfast before your weekend excursions – the perfect way to fuel up!
