One of the more popular things at Les Crouquets ( alongside the pool and animals!) is the games room.  Cool on hot days and a great shelter on rainy days it caters for all of the family & ensures that there is always something to do!

This year the games room has had a bit of a facelift and now has a brand new tiled floor (non slip of course!) instead of the inherited yellow painted concrete which had become quite tired & chipped.

This year we also have a new,much bigger snooker table

shiny new snooker balls!

Catering for babies, toddlers,older children, teenagers and adults does bring its problems – “Never the twain shall meet” isn’t a phrase that works well in the games room but we do have “designated” areas which thankfully do usually attract users of the appropriate age!! In any case being 65 m2 it’s big enough for everyone to share.

kiddies corner for babies & toddlers

The kiddies corner has a wooden train set, toys for a range of ages, chunky lego, lots of colourful cushions and a hopscotch mat.

Lots of books for all ages

There is a bookcase with lots of books for all ages in French & English – books for adults are kept in the library at the entrance to Les Crouquets.

At the other side of the childrens area is a blackboard, dressing up box, colourful drawers with kitchen play sets, musical instruments, colouring books with pens & crayons, lego and building blocks. A large set of shelves houses lots of games & jigsaws.

Lots more games & jigsaws have now been moved to the library – I just couldn’t keep up with sorting out all the tiny bits of games and puzzles which invariably get opened , mixed up and just left…..oh the fun of being on holiday!!

Older children and teenagers and adults can enjoy the snooker, table football, skateboards & exercise machine. There is also a basket ball net on the wall just outside the games room.
