Rainy day activities in Brittany
Purely for research purposes, I took the children to explore some new activities suitable for those occasional rainy days in the summer. The guests staying in the gites can't go to the beach, zoo etc. so need something indoors in the local area.
Just on the outskirts of Rennes, Brittany in a commercial center called Cap Malo, there is a small complex of rainy day, indoor activities. It's about a 25 minute drive from the gites.
Firstly we tried out the kids play area, Woupi, in a warehouse. A collection of large climbing type structures, slides, pedal karts etc. It cost 8 euro for unlimited time and they did snacks and drinks there. Suitable for kids up to 12 years old, so both my two loved it.
Also on the complex is a ten pin bowling alley with various other activities inside and a multi-screen cinema. Next door was another warehouse with loads of indoor football pitches and an indoor karting track. We only watched the karting because it was only suitable for kids over seven years old and adults. The track is 600m long with fairly quick karts.
Just so you don't need to go searching for lunch there are four resturants, McDonalds, a pizza place, a Buffalo Grill, and another resturant.
The whole place was perfect for that rainy day.
