Halloween discoveries
Naturally, pumpkins take pride of place in October, notably at the Parc Spirou Provence (↗ |fr) ), which is fully decked out for Halloween all season, with plenty more activities for the little ones as well.
The crafters can take part in a wide range of creative workshops (soap making, upcycling and painting workshops).
Nature lovers can spend their days observing the autumn colours and wildlife during nature outings.
And those that can’t sit still can channel their energy into bike-rides and yoga classes!
