Parc du Reynou, Zoological park in Le Vigen, France.
The park is a zoological facility built on the grounds of a former castle and houses over 600 animals representing about 130 different species. Visitors can observe giraffes, antelopes, lions, cheetahs, and red pandas in separate sections.
The property originated as the estate of porcelain maker Charles Edouard Haviland, with gardens designed by André Laurent in the late 1800s. Later, the location was transformed into an animal park.
The park arranges animal habitats by geographic region, allowing visitors to see how different species live in their native environments. This layout helps people understand the connection between animals and their natural homes.
The park features accessible paths that allow visitors with reduced mobility to reach various animal areas. Stroller rentals are also available for those who prefer not to walk the entire site.
Guests can stay overnight in specialized lodges overlooking the African savanna section. These accommodations allow for direct viewing of giraffes and ostriches at sunrise.
