    • DISCOVER THE FASCINATING WORLD OF THE ANIMAL AND BOTANICAL PARK


      Immersive exploration of varied ecosystems

      The animal and botanical park is a real invitation to escape, in the heart of a site of several hectares where nature and animal species meet. Between the tropical greenhouse and the Japanese garden, each space of the park reveals a rich and surprising biodiversity. Visitors are invited to explore various ecosystems, from desert areas to tropical forests, while closely observing the fauna and flora that live there.

      This unique place is distinguished by its modern infrastructure and vast spaces, designed for a visit that is both educational and entertaining. Young and old can wander freely through the park's paths, where magnificent exotic plants, carefully maintained bonsai, and even a thousand-year-old olive tree stand. Observing the different natural environments allows for total immersion in the plant world, for a soothing moment of discovery.


      A unique encounter with wildlife

      The park is not just about botany, it is also home to a wide variety of fascinating animal species. Snakes, alligators, chameleons, and many other reptiles are presented here in enclosures that faithfully reproduce their natural habitats. Educational programs are offered throughout the year, allowing visitors to learn more about these little-known and often misunderstood creatures.

      Visitors can also enjoy the area dedicated to the youngest, where fun activities await them. The mini-farm, for example, allows children to discover domestic animals up close, in a friendly and secure setting. In addition, activities on wild species and educational workshops are regularly organized to raise awareness among the youngest about the protection of biodiversity.


      Travel to the past with life-size dinosaurs

      Among the park's most popular attractions, the life-size dinosaur reconstruction leaves no one indifferent. These giants of the past, recreated with great precision, populate the course dedicated to the prehistoric era. Whether it's the Brachiosaurus, the Triceratops or the fearsome T-Rex, these impressive creatures offer visitors a real leap back in time.

      Children can even take part in paleontological digs organized in a specially designed pit. Equipped with small tools, they will have the chance to discover fossils and bones like real budding archaeologists. This journey through time is an educational and fun experience that will captivate both young and old.


      Entertainment and events throughout the year

      Throughout the year, the park offers themed events that punctuate the seasons. Whether for Halloween, Christmas, or even for birthdays, events are regularly organized to bring a festive touch to the visit. These events include interactive shows, creative workshops, as well as encounters with animals in the presence of keepers.

      During the high season, several daily activities are offered, offering visitors multiple opportunities to learn more about the different species present in the park. These moments of discovery are suitable for all ages, allowing each member of the family to fully enjoy their visit.


      Commitment to the protection of endangered species

      In addition to being a place of discovery and entertainment, the animal and botanical park is actively involved in the protection of endangered species. Through collaboration with research centers and international zoos, breeding and preservation programs are put in place to ensure the sustainability of certain endangered species.

      The park's laboratory also participates in research on snake venoms, the application of which is used in the development of medical and pharmaceutical treatments. This scientific dimension of the park reinforces its role in the preservation of biodiversity and in the advancement of knowledge on animal species.


      An ideal setting for a family outing

      The animal and botanical park is a perfect place to spend a day with the family. With its many spaces dedicated to relaxation, its shaded picnic areas and its on-site catering points, everything is designed to offer a pleasant experience suitable for all ages. Whether you come with friends or family, everyone can enjoy a relaxing and enriching visit.

      Visitors can wander at their own pace through the park's various areas, passing through carefully tended gardens, greenhouses full of rare plants, or stopping in front of the animal enclosures to observe their fascinating behaviors. A visit to the animal and botanical park is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with nature, while having fun and learning.


      Practical information to prepare your visit

      To best prepare for a visit, the website of the animal and botanical park provides all the necessary information. Visitors will find opening hours, prices, as well as an interactive map of the park. It is also possible to book tickets online, thus facilitating access to the various activities offered on site.

      The park also offers guided tours on request, tailored to groups or special events. Whether for a school outing, a birthday or any other event, personalized services can be organized to make each visit a unique experience.

    It's a magical place with beautiful gardens and a variety of reptiles to have a close encounter with. There are also friendly alpacas, houses, goats and cute little bunnies jumping around. Hours of pleasant strolling. I especially liked the zen garden with an impressive collection of bonsai trees.

    We brought our three year old here & had a great day. It is a really big site, with good variation of exhibits such as the reptile house, Chinese garden & Native American area. The highlight was the Dino park which had very realistic dinosaurs - some move too. Great day for a family.

    I was surprised by planet exotica, I had thought it would be a very small reptile house but instead was almost a zoo in its own right! The price is a little high 15 euro for anyone over 14 I think...
