A large nature space near Poitiers
Neither an urban park nor a simple leisure center, Domaine de Dienné is a park for sports experiences and discovery. People come here to try new activities, breathe under the trees, discover gentle trails, or take on more vigorous challenges. On-site, everything is designed to welcome all audiences : children and thrill-seekers alike.
Mission Areka : the adventure that connects sports, nature... and animals
Experience Mission Areka, the Domaine's signature adventure. This outdoor-scripted game takes you on a journey punctuated by puzzles, sports challenges, and sensory discoveries. Along the way, you will cross through wooded areas, clearings, and educational spaces where learning is fun.
Most importantly, the encounter with animals happens within the framework of Mission Areka : it is along the route that you will observe them (goats, chickens, farmyard animals) in a respectful and educational context—not as a separate animal park, but as an integrated part of the experience. Kids love it, and so do adults : an attraction that receives unanimous praise in reviews.
Treetop adventure course : high-up courses for everyone
Want to get up high ? Our treetop adventure course offers several progressive courses in the trees, with suspension bridges and zip lines. Here, you can work on your balance and confidence and enjoy unique viewpoints over the site's wooded hectares. Accessible from a certain age and depending on height, it is the perfect activity for a family or a group of colleagues.
Adventure Game & treasure hunt : team spirit and exploration
- Adventure Game : An outdoor puzzle game, inspired by escape rooms, that values observation, communication, and strategy. To be enjoyed with friends, family, or as a team during a seminar.
- Treasure hunt : Designed for children but irresistible for adults. Clues, maps, and curiosity are your best allies.
These activities energize your stay and add rhythm to a day of leisure at the park.
Archery : precision, breath, concentration
Archery is for everyone. Supervised by an instructor, you learn the proper posture, breathing, and aiming techniques. It is a moment that is both calming and stimulating, ideal for alternating with more physical attractions. Reviews often highlight the educational aspect and the supportive guidance of the staff.

Rent bikes or a surrey to ride the paths. It's a different way to discover the Poitou countryside, its stone walls, its forest edges, and its village gardens. A gentle outing, ideal for completing a sporty day.
