Viaduc de la Souleuvre (Calvados)
The Viaduc de la Souleuvre is quite a piece of architecture (built between 1887 and 1889 to plans by a certain Gustave Eiffel). Offering spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, it has become a mecca for thrill-seekers. Among the activities offered by the Skypark Normandie team are bungee jumping, the giant swing, the zip line and the glass cube, which takes visitors 61 metres above the void. Ready for an adrenaline rush?

Parc du Bocasse (Seine-Maritime)

Thrill seakers will enjoy the Flash Tower, the mine train or the Jurassic Coaster, while little ones will have fun in the play areas and splash pool. There is also a 4D cinema and a water-themed sound and light show worth viewing. The Splash-O-Saure, which descends backwards into the water, is a family favourite! The latest addition is Orochi, which is nothing less than Normandy’s highest and fastest roller coaster! Buzzy, the park’s mascot, will also be hanging out all season long for photos and cuddles.
