A treetop adventure park between Charleville-Mézières and Belgium
Le Corsaire Volant stands in the forest on the shore of Lac des Vieilles-Forges, in Les Mazures. From the zip lines and the top of the galleon’s masts, the view stretches over the lake and the forests of the Ardennes massif. It is a treetop adventure park for the whole family: younger children start on the Moussaillon and Bigorneau courses, from age 6, and the sportiest finish on Barbe Noire. All courses are fitted with a Clic-it continuous safety line: you cannot unclip.
The park is about 20 minutes from Charleville-Mézières, 20 minutes from Revin and Rocroi, 40 minutes from Sedan, 30 to 40 minutes from Couvin and 1 h 10 from Charleroi. Allow 2 to 3 hours on site. For a full day out, add Elfy Park, right next door, with the Pass-Partout ticket.
