About Parc Bagatelle

Parc Bagatelle gives the Côte d’Opale a family park day within reach of its seaside towns. In Merlimont, the attraction is a mix of coasters, other rides and lighter activities that can keep a group together without every visitor chasing the strongest thrill. It works well as a substantial break from beach and coastal sightseeing.

Triops gives adventurous riders a distinctive coaster priority, while family attractions broaden the route. The park also has shows and smaller-scale experiences, so a successful visit need not be measured only in coaster rides. Use the current attraction guide to separate the priorities that suit older thrill seekers from those designed for younger children.

Planning your visit

Follow the official RD 940 address for Merlimont and plan travel from your accommodation rather than assuming the park is on the beach. Compare dated admission with other ticket choices and check individual participation requirements. Leave space for a meal and a show if those appeal to the party. An optional queue product should answer a real need in your itinerary.
