Center Parc Les Hauts de Bruyères - Sologne: reviews, rates 2026 and address

This is the only Center Parc I have visited, and it was a longtime dream to go there. Aside from the aquatic area, there is almost nothing to do. All the facilities seemed closed during my visit, and the grounds were poorly maintained. On the other hand, the water park is very pleasant, clean, and well heated. There is not a huge amount to do, but the wave pool, the lazy river, the slides, and the outdoor river are nice and accessible to everyone. Considering the offerings in 2024, they really need to invest and provide more activities.

It is not bad, but for the same price, or even less, you could stay by the sea in Tunisia or Turkey in an all-inclusive hotel.

With the glass dome over the swimming area, you will feel like it is summer, no matter the month or the weather outside.
The pool is included in your stay.

I expected better, given the price we paid. We are a long way from "all inclusive" here. You have to pay for meals, breakfasts, and any activities outside of the pool. Plan on a big budget for both the rental and actually enjoying your stay once you are there.

Having been to other Center Parcs, I find this one in Sologne a bit aging. There are fewer spaces, and the facilities are less modern and smaller. It is still a nice place of course, but I preferred the one in Vienne for example, which is a bit further from the Paris region but newer.

My feeling is that this place is convenient for relaxing with the family, without having to deal with complicated planning (airplanes, airport transfers, excursions...). Everything is on site, the pool that acts as a Caribbean beach, the playgrounds, and the nature outings.
For others, between friends or as a couple, you might get bored pretty quickly.

Pretty quiet and family-friendly vibe, with quite a few kids around. There are plenty of activities to keep you busy for a weekend without any trouble. And if you are staying longer, why not take a day to visit the Loire Valley castles. They are not super close, but it is definitely doable.

I spent a few days there recently.
Not everything was open because of Covid, especially the pool. Fortunately, the rates were lowered. It is still a shame though, I would have really liked to go swimming in the middle of winter.
In any case, since we could not go very far, it was still nice to be able to get away for a few days.

Great for relaxing with family or as a couple. A little less so for a festive, single-style vacation.
Needs improvement: the price to quality ratio at the restaurants, and the welcome and availability of the staff (you shouldn't be in a rush if you need something).
I liked: the pool, the rapids, the treetop adventure course.

In the middle of nature, a relaxing place where a lot of families with kids come to enjoy the water park in particular.
I do not know what the other Center Parcs are like, but this one seemed very family friendly to me.

The PROS:
The setting is nice, the accommodations are in very good condition, along with the bedding and equipment. The heated bubble is pleasant and the pool is really superb, with beautiful, natural flora (it is all real).

The CONS:
The units are too close together for my taste, and how well your stay goes depends heavily on the kindness of your neighbors. The pool capacity is a bit tight during high-traffic times, as was the case during the school holidays when I went.

If you can, go off-season or outside of school holidays, plus it is cheaper!
