Animals of the world

There are just two zoos within Paris: in the Jardin des Plantes and the Bois de Vincennes. To enjoy seeing animal species from the forests of Europe, the jungle, mountains, deserts and other lesser-known territories, all you need to do is head just a few miles outside of Paris. Move close to the big cats through a glass tunnel, get goosebumps at the sight of the reptiles in aquariums and vivariums, marvel at the flying feats of falcons and other birds of prey, enjoy the somersaults and mischievousness of the monkeys, or daydream in the butterfly house... For those with a vehicle, the safari parks in the Paris region will provide some great memories.
