Zoo-refuge La Tanière

Zoo-refuge La Tanière is a sanctuary for animals in Nogent-le-Phaye, France, with multiple enclosures designed for mammals, birds, and reptiles. The facility accommodates animals of various sizes, from smaller residents to larger species.

The sanctuary began in 2007 with a mission to care for animals freed from difficult circumstances. It grew from the need to provide a safe place for abandoned and mistreated animals.

The sanctuary conveys to visitors through signage and guided moments an understanding of how different species live and interact. People can observe animals in their spaces and learn about their natural behaviors and roles.

The grounds can be explored easily on foot, as the enclosures are arranged along walkways. It is best visited on days with mild temperatures so you can comfortably view all areas.

Many animals here have overcome trauma and now display normal behavior in their spaces. This visible recovery is often moving for visitors and shows how effective the work here truly is.
