La Palmyre Zoo a perfect family day out from our gites near St Jean d'Angely
|
Another absolute must for families with
children. This zoo is not just like any zoo,
its won european zoo of the year many
times and is a breeding animal park. Its
very interactive. The anilmals are very
well cared for, there are lots of babies
and all the dates of birth are written
outside their areas.
You can get really close to all the animals and can even get in with
some of them, like the goats. Theres no empty pens and you can
always see the animals, they arn't hidden away. Theres lots of shade
but as with all the major attractions in the area it gets very busy -
top tip, go early, get there for 9 am spend 3 or 4 hrs wandering
around the well laid out park and then head off for lunch in La
Palmyre itself when everyone else is queing to get in the zoo !
