Labyrinthe – Alain Coenen
Alain Coenen's glass maze
Operator: Alain Coenen
Labyrinthe Coenen is a travelling glass maze run by Belgian showman Alain Coenen. In Belgian line-up lists, it is called “Glazen Doolhof”, meaning glass maze. Here, you find your way on foot through a maze of glass and mirror walls. At funfairs such as Foire à 1 Euro in Huy, Labyrinthe is a classic for families and groups of friends.

Glass, mirrors and plenty of dead ends: in Labyrinthe, the journey is the destination.
Experience Labyrinthe Coenen
You enter the maze and make your way forward slowly. Transparent panels and mirrors make corridors seem longer than they are, and dead ends look like open paths. So sometimes you walk straight into a wall you hadn't even noticed. You can also often see your companions behind the glass, but can't get through to them.
The best way to find out how many rooms or paths Labyrinthe has is to explore it for yourself. With friends, finding the exit soon becomes a little competition.

The history of Labyrinthe Coenen
Glass mazes have been among the most popular walk-through attractions at Belgian funfairs for decades. Belgian trade publications mention Alain Coenen with several walk-through attractions. Older lists also mention a glass maze called Cristal Palace operated by Coenen. It has not yet been confirmed whether this is the same attraction. The manufacturer and year of construction have not been publicly documented either.
