Visit a unique attraction on France ferry breaks

People planning to catch ferries to France for a holiday next year will be able to visit a brand new attraction near Angers in the Pays de la Loire region.

Terra Botanica, Europe's first amusement park themed entirely around plant life, will open in April.

Coming at a cost of €83 million (£75.7 million), the park comprises 11 acres of gardens, glass houses and buildings that contain dozens of attractions, nature trails and other activities.

People interested in visiting Terra Botanica can take ferries to St Malo from Portsmouth with Brittany Ferries, which also operates a Caen ferry service from Portsmouth and a route to Cherbourg from Poole.

The complex will be divided into four main areas, which will explore different subjects including the importance of plants as a natural resource and horticultural practices such as landscaping.

Visitors will also be able to sit down for a meal in the park's restaurant, which will serve locally sourced food.

There are several travel options for people planning to visit northern France, with Condor Ferries offering a link to St Malo from Poole and Weymouth as well as a Portsmouth to Cherbourg ferry service.

LD Lines operates ferries to Le Havre from Portsmouth, while Celtic Link and Irish Ferries offer crossings on the Rosslare to Cherbourg ferry route for people travelling from Ireland.
