The park is situated on grounds that served as a Cistercian monastery starting in 1111.
It utilizes a 'continuous lifeline' safety system that makes it physically impossible to detach from the security cable while on the course.
The facility is integrated into a protected natural valley, keeping the activities beneath the canopy line to preserve the landscape.
Courses include specialized 'baby' circuits designed for toddlers starting from age 3.
The park provides access to the adjacent Fontdouce Abbey site, which is listed as a French historical monument.
Adventure Park Valley Fontdouce is an outdoor aerial obstacle course located within the forested valley of the 12th-century Fontdouce Abbey. The park features a network of zip lines, rope bridges, and high-rope courses suspended among centuries-old oak and chestnut trees. Visitors navigate circuits graded by difficulty, ranging from accessible courses for children to advanced routes for experienced climbers. All participants are equipped with specialized climbing harnesses and use a continuous lifeline safety system. The site encompasses over 10 hectares of protected natural terrain in the Charente-Maritime region. It is situated adjacent to the Romanesque abbey ruins, allowing visitors to combine physical recreation with historical exploration. The park infrastructure is designed to minimize environmental impact on the surrounding woodland. It serves as a primary outdoor destination for active recreation in the Saint-Bris-des-Bois area.
