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.

Bon il faut savoir que Popeye village est un parc d'attraction, plutôt pour les enfants, 11,50 euros en basse saison pour les adultes et 15,00 euros pour les enfants, ce qui est top, est le site où se trouve ce parc qui est en fait un ensemble de petites maisonnettes et bar-restaurants., les attractions sont très moyennes et de piètre qualité, mais ce qui compte est le plaisir des enfants!!!. Cet ensemble se trouve dans une baie magnifique avec eau turquoise et de belles falaises, ça c'est super. Juste pour le coup d'œil je pense, l'entrée n'est pas nécessaire.

parc très agréable à visiter. de jolis décors bien gardés . une entrée à 10,50 par adulte et qui offre une carte postale, un verre et une photo.
il y aussi une ballade en bateau mais qui peut être vite annulée à cause du vent.
Voir absolument la vue que l on peu voir sur tout le parc en continuant la route qui longe l entrée du parc

Même si vous ne pénétrez pas le parc d'attractions, la vue depuis le sommet de la falaise qui fait face au "village" est saisissante. Le décor du film Popeye de 1980 a été conservé et pourrait passer pour un authentique village de pirates ou marins du XIXe siècle. A ne pas manquer. Pour les grands enfants...
Interesting to see the decor of a film, on the other hand it would need to be a little refreshes... Even the costumes actors playing the characters seem to be time! What is nice for children, it is to have put some farm animals: rabbits, budgerigars, chicks, guinea-pig and a pony (it will want to nip you!); on the other hand they wander in poor cages and are reduced by it eat the foot of their plastic litter... Too bad!
Fun visit especially a projection film in front of the restaurant's terrace, but depending on the season and the park games is not accessible. We found the entrance ticket a little expensive compared to the content of the park!
Village reconstructed in very friendly amusement park.
Many activities (turning a film with Popeye and visitors), catering on site and shopping.
A lovely adults and children.
Bring the day.
