Micro Zoo de Saint Malo, Small zoo in the ramparts of Saint-Malo, France
Micro Zoo Saint-Malo is a small animal collection housed in the city's ramparts, where reptiles, amphibians, fish, dwarf crocodiles, ants, and birds live in recreated habitats. The sections display species from different climates and landscapes around the world.
This facility opened in 2020 and presents small animal species to the public from within the city's historic fortifications. It uses the setting of the medieval walls as part of its approach to wildlife exploration.
The zoo presents different species in naturalistic settings, letting visitors get close to tropical animals and reptiles they might never encounter otherwise. The experience unfolds within medieval stone walls, which gives the space a distinctive character.
The zoo is easy to access since it sits within the ramparts that visitors naturally traverse while exploring the city. Wear comfortable shoes, as the pathways cover cobblestone and occasionally uneven ground.
Visitors can spot unusual creatures like moray eels, panther chameleons, jaguar frogs, and matamata turtles here. These animals are rarely seen and make the experience especially memorable for nature enthusiasts.
