- Jade MSt Austell, UK1,127 contributionsWe did our research before visiting and we were staying over an hour away so set off in good time. We took a large bottle of water as it was very hot and I’m glad we did, we spent hours walking around so definitely needed it! This place was informative, heartbreaking but interesting. A must see for yourself to fully appreciate the history here.Written February 21, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marc-Sussex74 contributionsSuperb collection across hundreds of years of ceramic making. Situated in a purpose built building with a modern extension. Very much worth a visit if you can manage it.Written February 22, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

There are so many things to see here that show what the village was like in 1944 - the Singer sowing machines in the houses; the weighing scales in the baker's shop, the rusting cars, the schools, the cafes, the tram lines - you can see the people living their lives there up to the moment that the atrocity happened.
In the Visitor Centre, we bought a pamphlet called "The Tragedy Hour by Hour" by Robert Hebras - one of the few survivors of the massacre and we used it as a guide during our visit. It told the story of what happened and how it happened in sufficient detail to understand how events unfolded that day. When we were leaving, we passed two walls which carry photographs of many of those whose lives were cut short that day. No human being could look at the people in those photos and not feel emotional and ask how could such things happen - and feel a determination that they should never happen again.
Anyone who visits Oradour and is not appalled at what humans can do to each other has not learned from the experience.Written January 16, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The interior was quite impressive and there are pamphlets available in French, English, Spanish and other languages available for one euro each. You can feel the history in this cathedral. Worth a visit.Written July 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Gabriela Fuentes9 contributionsThere are such hidden treasures in the center of France and this is a gem like no other .
From the initial warm welcome to the well versed historical storytelling you are guaranteed to step back in time and embrace the beautiful pastoral backdrop . My family cannot stop talking about it and by far this has been the best tour I have experienced throughout my travels in France!Written July 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Nice place to spend some time wandering through it all and then walk down to the river.Written September 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stefan CLimoges, France133 contributionsSunday morning visit to this old slate Quarry with history. A nice tour lasting just over an hour, probably a struggle for the less agile as there is a large staircase to descend and a good climb on a slope to finish. Overall very enjoyable.Written July 27, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JulischkaFrankfurt, Germany214 contributionsWhat a fantastic place! Absolutely stunning and emended in beautiful landscape! The was up and down is totally worth it. Most it in the shade! Don’t miss to climb the towers. The view is beautiful!!!Written August 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Catc00063 contributionsWe’ve been to huge aquariums in major capitals around the world so was expecting this might be a little underwhelming. In fact, we loved it! The tanks are super clean and everything looks well looked after. So many interesting fish and sea creatures, including varieties we’ve never seen before.
The staff man walking around was super friendly and welcoming, and pointed out some baby fish that had been born that morning, which my 2.5 year old loved to see.
My only negative would be that although another reviewer said exhibits had English translations, I didn’t see any, only French, but perhaps I was too engrossed in looking at the fish!Written May 26, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Within a natural park, makes for a nice day out, reasonable prices, lovely helpful staff and plenty of walks/ cycling nearby. Good fun! The let-down is on food and drinks. Drinks fine, water, sodas available, no fireworks, but food could do with a big step up. The sandwiches, two choices only, commercial pre-packed were terrible. When you're a fair drive from the nearest shop, with hungry kids (and, erm, unprepared parents!), the management might want to capitalise on this captive audience! Still, a lovely day out we very much enjoyed.Written August 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
