An impressive château parc set in 130 acres near sandy beaches and featuring a magnificent waterpark.

A member of the Castels chain of parcs, Sequoia Parc has excellent facilities with superb pools to entertain the whole family. The impressive old stone farm buildings in the main courtyard, which house the restaurant and bar, have been renovated to provide a beautiful setting.
