"Friendly center of the neighborhood's cultural life: welcoming, dynamic, many varied activities are offered there, the proactive animation is noticeable. The badly damaged building reveals the need for an increasingly urgent structural renovation... where are the public authorities???"

"I went there for Halloween to visit the haunted house 🎃 It was great, my 9-year-old son loved it. The actors performed beautifully, it was really good. The downside was the wait and the lack of activities for the children while we waited for our turn. I think we should assign a number when booking and call that number when our turn comes around. This would allow the children to play and do activities. I waited 45 minutes for a 10-minute visit, and we left without a single candy in my son's bucket. Drawing workshops or something else would have been welcome. An additional financial contribution could be requested. For the haunted house, it was 1 euro per person, really cheap given the quality of the show. Bravo to the entertainers 👍"

"Nothing to complain about except that there aren't many places to park anymore. Otherwise, you can find some further down. A little climbing is good for your health 😊"
