Toddler entertainment near Tours/Loire Valley?

[Porridgeislife]

Taking our 2yo to stay in a cottage just outside Tours. Does anyone have any great recommendations for toddler friendly activities? She is an easy going 2yo - likes the playground, feeding the ducks, drinking babycino at cafes etc.

Also, are toddlers allowed to wear sunproof swimsuits covering arms and legs at public pools? I know France won’t let you swim in shorts or T-shirts but not sure if that extends to small children.

my DC loved Beauval zoo when they were little and the Museum of Magic in Blois did shows which were very visual and funny.

Chambord chateau has loads of stuff to do in the grounds, including cycling, boating and horseriding.

Thank you! I’ll check those suggestions out.

There is a safari train near Amboise which is quite fun for younger children.
