New Indoor Leisure Complexes Boost Entertainment Options in France

In late 2025, France is witnessing the launch of major indoor leisure complexes, adding vibrant new options for family outings and corporate activities. Notably, Karrousel in Versoud has opened its doors, spanning a massive 10,000 square meters and featuring a giant carousel, two levels of 2,800 m² electric karting, 14 bowling lanes, a laser game, karaoke boxes, an interactive children’s area with trampolines and climbing walls, and a bar and restaurant. This €6 million investment aims to generate €4.5 million in its first year and will create about 50 jobs. The complex is designed for accessibility, welcoming families, friends, and corporate groups of up to 1,200 people for team-building in versatile spaces. Founder François Matraglia emphasizes the complex’s flexible, engaging environment inspired by fairground themes, making Karrousel a new regional entertainment hub.

Meanwhile, the Adventure Center in Clermont-Ferrand offers a more compact but dynamic 1,800 m² venue, focusing on interactive and mental challenges. Nominated for the 2025 Puy-de-Dôme business awards, it features two escape games with distinct themes, 23-room game challenges involving physical and mental tests, karaoke, quizzes, and sensory activities. Independent and franchise-free, this center employs 20 full-time staff and designs its own attractions in a dedicated workshop. With annual revenue around €1.5 million, one-third comes from corporate events held in its bar and seminar spaces. A second Adventure Center is set to open in Limoges in mid-December 2025, growing on the Clermont-Ferrand success.

Together, these venues represent a dynamic growth in France’s indoor leisure industry by blending large-scale, multisensory play areas and innovative, intellectual entertainment formats, catering to diverse audiences from families to corporate clients. This development reflects increasing demand for versatile indoor leisure options, especially important in the colder months. Both complexes are poised to become key entertainment destinations in their regions, expanding local employment and leisure offerings.
