If you've got visitors - especially those with children - and the day is rainy/coldish then the Planete des Crocodiles at Civaux is a must see.
This is the place to keep the young 'uns amused. It houses a heck of a lot of different species of croc in a tropical setting so don't dress up - it is very humid
To get the maximum joy out of it - especially for the youngsters - look out for the notice boards around the place telling you of the various feeding times. For some reason small children seem to get a thrill out of reptiles eating something. Don't worry. It's fish.
There is a snack bar but I noticed most of the French had brought their own picnic to eat in the car park or on the banks of the Vienne. There is also the obiligatory over-priced souvenir shop selling plastic repitles, T-shirts etc.
Booking tickets on line is cheaper than on the day.
It's right by the EdF nuclear power station - and the bowling alley and swimming pool - in Civaux so you can't miss it.
