The park was founded in 1978 and is entirely managed by a non-profit association.
Since its inception, the park has funded the construction of over 30 schools in Africa.
All the wooden structures within the village are handcrafted by volunteers.
The park is situated near the historic Radôme, the massive protective cover for France's first telecommunications satellite antenna.
It utilizes a 'solidarity tourism' model where entry fees directly support international education initiatives.
Village Gaulois is a theme park in Pleumeur-Bodou centered on the life and culture of the Gauls, reconstructed through traditional architecture. The site distinguishes itself by donating all profits to humanitarian projects in Africa, specifically for building schools and supporting local development. Visitors explore hand-built huts, wooden play structures, and interactive displays designed primarily for children. The park occupies a green space within the Parc du Radôme, adjacent to other scientific and cultural sites. It functions as a non-profit educational attraction focused on communal recreation and historical engagement. The environment emphasizes low-tech, active play rather than motorized carnival rides.
