Operated by:	Fam. Gélis

Nigloland in Dolancourt is a medium sized, family-run theme park in the Grand Est region of France. The park opened in 1987 by the showman Patrice und Philippe Gélis. Since then the park developed into a beautiful theme park with picturesque gardens and themed areas. It currently houses six roller coasters and a bunch of very interessting flat rides and other attractions.

Fun Fact #1: The rotation of the gondolas of the ghost train Manoir Hanté are driven by gravity only. Due to the inclination of the track to one of the sides, the gondolas rotate smoothly to always focus the big scenes of this factastic dark ride.

Fun Fact #2: There is a bar on the King of Mississippi boat tour. The relaxing ride on the big lake in the Canadian section of the park offers a nice little escape of the hustle and bustle of the park.

Theme Park:	Le Pal (since 1973)

Address:	Saint-Pourçain-sur-Besbre

Operated by:	Fam. Bennet

Le Pal in Dompierre Sur Besbre, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is a very large, family-run animal and amusement park. Opened in 1973, the park houses an outstanding selection of family-friendly rides, interesting roller coasters, great shows, as well as some of the largest animal enclosures and aviaries you will come accross in an European zoo. On top of that, the park features beautiful themed areas throughout the theme park and the zoo.

Fun Fact #1: There is a single rider entrance at almost every attraction within the park. The system is widely used and leads to overall smaller waiting times.

Fun Fact #2: There are two large loops throughout the zoo. You can follow the Circuit Court for 90 minutes or the Circuit Long for 3 hours. Both times are highly optimistic, as at a normal visitor pace you will need longer!
