Beauval Zoo: An Unforgettable Family Day Out
~
Just 35 kilometres from Les Hayes Boutique Hotel, Beauval Zoo is widely recognised as one of the finest zoological parks in the world. Ranked among Europe’s very best zoos, it is home to more than 35,000 animals representing nearly 800 species from across the globe.
Beauval is especially famous for its giant pandas, one of the rarest species on Earth and found nowhere else in France. But they are only the beginning of an extraordinary journey through the animal kingdom. Koalas, manatees, okapis, white tigers, lions, gorillas, elephants and hundreds of colourful bird species can all be discovered in beautifully landscaped surroundings designed to recreate their natural habitats.
The park also offers spectacular bird shows, educational experiences and The Beauval Cloud, a panoramic cable car that glides above the park, providing breathtaking views of the animals below. Whether travelling as a couple or with children, Beauval promises an unforgettable day filled with discovery and wonder.
