Karting Loisir 86

Near Futuroscope, in Usseau, Karting Loisir 86 offers the rare combination of an indoor hall and an outdoor track on the same site, for 800 metres in total. The dual setup lets you drive whatever the weather : particularly handy for families visiting the park who want a complementary activity over a multi-day stay. The site sits a quarter of an hour from Futuroscope and thirty minutes from Poitiers, in the Châtelleraudais countryside.

The layout alternates two atmospheres. The indoor hall offers a regular surface that favours rhythmic sequences and clean lines; the outdoor extension brings the more authentic feel of outdoor karting, with the grip variations tied to Poitevin weather. Several kart classes are available, from beginner models for younger riders to punchier versions for regulars. It's a format that especially suits families with kids visiting Futuroscope and looking to round out their weekend with something different. The site also regularly hosts kids' birthdays, stag and hen parties, and corporate events.

Usseau is fifteen minutes from Futuroscope, twenty-five minutes from Poitiers via the N10 and forty minutes from Châtellerault. The area offers plenty to extend the trip: Futuroscope of course, old Poitiers and its Romanesque heritage, the Saint-Savin abbey listed as UNESCO World Heritage, or a detour to the Center Parcs Trois Forêts an hour away. A handy pick for families on a theme-park stay.
