The Turbobob adventure
Découvrez Turbobob : source de bonheur pour les enfants depuis plus de 35 ans !
This amazing product combines the excitement of racing cars with a sensational track to create unforgettable memories from generation to generation.
Le top départ de l’aventure Turbobob a été donné en 1985, avec pour seule et unique mission : transporter les enfants vers en voyage. Comment ? En permettant aux petits comme aux grands de retrouver la sensation de vitesse et d’accélération que chacun a un jour ressentie lorsqu’il dévalait une piste de luge, de ski ou encore de toboggan aquatique !
This fantastic product comes from Mayenne, where Marc had the brilliant idea of creating a small summer luge for his daughters. Starting on a mound at the bottom of his garage, he used his technical skills and weeks of brainstorming to develop a high-speed track and a bobsleigh-like kart.
The first trial was a huge success. The girls absolutely loved it and couldn't stop smiling. News about this incredible creation quickly spread throughout the neighbourhood, and children eagerly awaited their turn to experience the Turbobob in action. Soon, a queue formed outside the family home, and the Turbobob became an absolute sensation.
Avec les années, Marc entreprit de recréer ce bob pour de nouveaux lieux, en France mais aussi à l’étranger avec le même mécanisme et des pistes plus ou moins longues. C’est ainsi que Turbobob commença à faire des ravages.
Gabin, 6 years old : « It’s my favourite activity because it moves, it goes fast, it’s high up, it goes around bends and everything. Sometimes it's scary, it’s great! »
Léa, 10 years old : « J’ai choisi le rouge qui avait le n°4, mon numéro porte-bonheur. J’étais la plus rapide c’est sûr ! »
Antonin, 8 years old: « It’s great fun and what’s more, when you hold the steering wheel you actually believe you’re in a real racing car »
Time to make childhood memories
Racing car’s mechanism
The Turbobob
Starting signal : At the top of the track, young drivers hop into the racing car, gripping the steering wheel tightly.
GO ! En s’élançant en avant c’est parti pour 30 secondes de descente. Propulsés dans l’aventure, les virages s’enchaînent avec habilités alternant des moments de frisson à travers les courbes.
- A gentle finish : The luge automatically slows down at the end of the track, ensuring a gentle finish and leaving kids and parents with enthusiastic smiles.
- No electrical system : A small rope is attached to the front of the luge so that it can be pulled back up to the top with a little effort. Then it’s time for another go!
The track
The track forms a loop and can be adapted to all types of terrain.
The circuit is custom-made,ideally built into a mound to blend into the landscape, or it can be aerial and attached to galvanised steel posts.
Assembled piece by piece like a giant puzzle, the polyester circuit is designed to withstand time and harsh weather conditions.
The Bob
A combination of a lightning-fast bobsleigh and the light and streamlined body of a summer luge.
With 4 wheels underneath for descending the track, and 4 wheels on the sides for navigating the turns, the Turbobob is designed for children. For safety reasons, this game is recommended for children from 2 years.
At the front of the luge, a steering wheel makes you feel as if you are really in a race, and there are handles on the sides to ensure a firm grip, ready for a thrilling ride down the track.

Turbobob has the power to bring joy to children and a smile to their parents' faces: time for some great childhood memories.
Once upon a time at the Procé Park in Nantes.
The track at the Procé Park has been entertaining children since 1988.
Cette attraction populaire s’étend à travers un parc arboré, emblématique de la ville de Nantes. Depuis 1988, les enfants se pressent pour profiter de cette expérience : véritable institution locale depuis 30 ans, la piste a vu dévaler plusieurs générations. En 2019 un coup d’arrêt provisoire sème l’inquiétude auprès des habitués après le départ en retraite du gérant du parc. Témoignages de déception, article de presse, la crainte de ne plus revoir Turbobob est grande.
A wonderful surprise
In mid-June, the park reopened, with Turbobob, to the great delight of the inhabitants of Nantes « People come and thank us for reopening the track. It shows how attached they are to it. It's a popular, simple, and inexpensive activity. That's why it’s such a hit. », explains Alexandre Muller, the Manoir de Procé’s new manager.
The Turbobob story continues from generation to generation.
