POPEYE VILLAGE
Go there and contact
This funny village of reconstituted village - Sweethaven, a fisherman's hamlet from the famous cartoon - was built for the filming of the Robert Altman film. This unmistakable curiosity, even from the outside, is still intact and is one of the island's attractions, a kind of Disneyland grandeur in nature where one expects to meet Robin Williams or Shelley Duvall who played so convincingly. In 1980, Robert Altman stopped his choice on this cove already predisposed to camp the virtual frame of the spinach eater.
The houses of grace are real, and this surreal village has the charm of a child's dream. The village is constructed with logs imported from the Netherlands and Canada; construction took 7 months and required a team of 165 technicians, 9 000 litres of paint and 8 tons of nails.
The characters of the film, which populate the village, make the construction even more compelling.
Besides, a children's playground overlooks the bay: swings, slides, rodeo, trains, pedal cars, car-tamponneuses, rides, safaris, motorcycles and an open sky bar.
