Nigloland
Family park in the heart of Champagne
Nigloland is a leafy family park in Dolancourt, in the Champagne region between Troyes and Chaumont. Young children have plenty of gentle attractions and for thrill-seekers there's a mega coaster, a water coaster and one of the tallest free-fall towers in the world. From the Netherlands and Belgium it's half a day's drive.
What is Nigloland?
Nigloland's mascots are Niglo and Niglotte, whom you'll come across all over the park. The park is about two hours from Paris and is known for its well-kept gardens and short waiting times. According to the park there are 44 attractions and shows, eight themed restaurants and two hotels of its own.
The park is divided into four villages. The Village Suisse is home to the big new attractions, such as Krampus Expédition and Alpina Blitz. The Village Merveilleux is the fairy-tale area with lots of children's attractions and the Maison de Niglo. In the Village Canadien you sail along rivers and in the Village Rock'N Roll it's all about American rock 'n' roll. In autumn the park celebrates Halloween with Nigloween and fireworks.

Tips for your visit
Measure your children at home: under 1 metre they go free, and many rides have limits of 0.90, 1 and 1.20 metres. Because the park is a few hours' drive away, a night at the Hôtel des Pirates or Cabaïana is a nice way to make it two relaxed days. Going in autumn? Then you'll see Nigloween with fireworks; check the calendar for the days the park stays open into the evening.
