1 - At the Center Parcs du Bois Aux Daims there are houses in the trees

It is in the Vienne, in Morton, in the heart of what is called "sweet France". Le Bois aux Daims is located in a forest of 260 ha where only 11% of the estate is built: cottages and houses in the trees, distributed in this preserved nature.

Surprised are his houses perched on piles along the river, in the middle of the trees and giving the sensation of living in the tops of the oaks, near the squirrels! Pretty little fairy-tale houses, in harmony with nature, skillfully crazy, where it could unfold a story of witch or Lady Tartine. Each one is hyperconfortable, equipped and decorated with refinement according to a bucolic theme: ducks, butterflies, squirrels ... In a more classic way, as in any Center ss, the Bois Aux Daims also has the choice between 3 ranges of cottages.

2 - At the new Center Parcs we meet 40 species of animals

The Bois aux Daims focuses on direct contact with European fauna. In fact, in a forest park of 10 ha, called the "animal heart", live beasts in captivity who worked in the last documentary of filmmaker Jacques Perrin, "The seasons". Foxes, wild boars, badgers, geese, birds are welcomed in conditions of remarkable acclimatization and wildest possible life. One can observe them in the aviary, and others from a high bridge in monkey bridge that crosses the park and where one approaches the canopy. You can also surprise them along a discovery trail. The children even find in the tree trunks of mischievous educational games to know everything about their fingerprints or their coat. They will then run to the Educational Farm to say hello to the donkey Poitou and the goats.

3 - We discover the work of the healers

But for what one comes to the Center Park of the Bois aux Daims, it is the ladies in freedom, which are freely caressed in the clearing. One can thus attend in the morning to their nourishment ensured by the caretakers.

Passionate about birds? In the aviary, we observe a session of taming, or rather impregnation of a magpie or a jay (= progressive adaptation of the animal to its new environment and to the man).
Or one discovers, as if on the sly, from a window behind a window, the behavior of wild species such as the vixen who feeds his foxes by capturing mice in the earth.

4 - At the Center Parcs du Bois Aux Daims you can even take photo safaris ...

... or video, like an animal filmmaker. A naturalist guide accompanies you on these walks where you can be seen as a hunter from the shafts posted in the forest. Children and adults can photograph a flight of cranes or wild geese, a small badger or a boar that rolls in its gauge. At Bois Aux Daims, even more than in the other Center Parcs, these workshops to share with the family give the opportunity to relax, let go and live together intense emotions.

5 ... and swim with exotic fish

As in all the Center Parcs, you can swim in the Aqua Mundo, an oasis under the bubble of a tropical garden: wave pool, slides, wild river, jacuzzi, sauna ...
But the must, in the Bois aux daims, is to dive into the Cenote Pool, unpublished in France. What's this? A pond surrounded by giant aquariums where you swim in front of skates, catfish, piranhas and other exotic fish. Fantastic...
