Parc zoologique de Lisieux

Parc zoologique de Lisieux spreads across forested land with natural valleys and contains more than 1,000 animals from around the world. The grounds are divided into sections that visitors can explore on foot or by riding a safari train through the property.

The facility was founded in the 1980s and grew into a major animal park serving the Normandy region. Over time it expanded operations and began drawing visitors from across France and beyond.

The space shows animals in settings that resemble their natural habitats, allowing visitors to observe behavior and movement across different landscapes. These encounters help people understand how wildlife adapts to various environments.

The park is accessible throughout the year, though some months offer extended visiting hours compared to others. Wearing good walking shoes is important since the terrain is hilly and involves considerable distances on foot.

Visitors can stay in special lodges positioned near animal areas, offering direct views of rhinoceroses and other wildlife from their rooms. This overnight experience allows watching the animals outside regular visiting hours.
