We were staying in the Art Hotel opposite this venue and were attracted by the music booming across the road. The venue runs along side the River Loire and is a play/recreational area with various rides etc. From the signs I also believe there is a campsite within the grounds. There was a dance in progress to piped music/backing tracks in the under cover dance area which was full of people. Three was a man and woman singing along to some of the songs. Good atmosphere and the dancers were certainly enjoying the experience. It looked worth a visit so we thought we would sit, have a glass or two of wine, have a meal and enjoy the evening. Mistake.You cannot sit at an empty table in the outdoor restaurant, and there were quite a few around dance floor with no obvious sign to indicate the were reserved. Instead you have to book at a kiosk adjacent to the bar areas. We arrived at 8.30pm and had to wait till 9.15pm before being seated. We passed the time sat by the river with a bottle of very average white wine at 18 euros a bottle. Suggest you drink beer.When we were given a table, the end of a bench with shared with a French couple, a waitress arrived almost immediately, and took our order, Caesar Salad and Salmon Steak, which we intended to share.The food arrived within a couple of minutes of our order and so was obviously pre prepared. The Salad was full of processed sliced chicken and very large, enough for two. Not the best but passable. The Salmon Steak, served with French Fries, was well cooked and was enough for two to share. Both portions were ample but the food was at best average and with two bread rolls the bill was around 40 euros. We never finished the wine...it was that bad.I can best describe the experience as similar to being at a BBQ where the hosts food is passable but the atmosphere created by the people around you made up for the shortcomings in the food.There was a park area with a large number of families enjoying the amusements and there was a separate take away kiosk selling take away food and fries.Parking did not appear to be a problem, we only walked across he road, and this looks a great venue for families with children not too concerned about the dining experience.Would we go again. No. An experience, but not one that we intend to repeat.
