Emilie's opinion

With its Red Fun Dose, exciting water slides and wide range of activities, La Citadelle de Loustic is the perfect destination for unforgettable family holidays! Between swimming, entertainment and sports facilities, both children and adults are sure to find something they love. My little tip: if you're looking for a bit more peace and quiet, choose the Balkos District. Located on the other side of the road, this area offers spacious surroundings, charming squares, two playgrounds and a swimming pool open in July and August. I particularly love its peaceful atmosphere.
