Bisonnerie de Borde Basse

The Bisonnerie de Borde Basse is an animal park spreading across 130 hectares where bison, yaks, aurochs, and deer roam in open spaces across the grounds. The site also contains a farm museum displaying tools and household items from earlier centuries.

The site was created to display large animals in natural surroundings while preserving knowledge about the region's rural past. The museum collection documents daily life and work between 1850 and 1950 in the Haute-Garonne area.

The place preserves memories of rural life in the region through visible displays. Visitors can see everyday objects and tools that show how people once lived and worked in these rolling hills.

You can explore the grounds on marked paths and observe animals from a safe distance throughout your visit. Staff at the entrance provide information and guidance to help you locate and understand the animals on display.

The animals live across large open spaces rather than in traditional enclosures, creating a different viewing experience than typical zoos. This approach to natural living conditions makes the visit particularly engaging for families with children.
