Parc Chlorophylle
On June 3 2002 "Parc Chorophylle" , the recreationforest in Dochamps at Manhay, officially opened its doors to the public.
It was constructed out of the remnants of an old Safari Park, in the heart of a big forest. The park is situated nearby next communities: La Roche-en-Ardenne, Erezée, the little city Durbuy just a few miles from the Baraque Fraiture. This makes the E25 the ideal road for reaching the park.
The Park of 9 hectares, unique in its kind, gives the visitor the opportunity to discover the world of the forest in an original fashion.
One of the most important attractions in the "Parc Chorophylle" is the walkingbridge where you can walk into the treetops. Children can live it up in the thematic playground adapted to the forest.
The different animations,
made out of wood, theme nature and environmental
heritage. Next to every animation to bilingual,
wooden panels inform the visitor.
The construction of
the park received its specific look, also
through cooperation with several specialised
artists and architects like Jean-Claude Servais
and Jean-Marie Wynants who where so lenient
to add their great talents to this project.
They were also inspired by existing projects in some
Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon counties, that link
both entertainment and pedagogic elements. A formula
for a unique and original tourism.
The community of Manhay
realised this project in cooperation with
IDELUX, who has a big influence on the tourism
in de region of Wallony. An investment of
2,1 million Euro was made possible thanks
to the European Union, the Wallon Region
and the province of Luxembourg.
You get admittance to the park
at very democratic rates. The
tariff for an adult is 5 €, families
of minimal 4 member pay only 3,50 € a person
en there exists even a loyalty-subscription for 4
months. From the second familyvisit on you pay only
2 € a person.
