Parc Australien, Wildlife park near Carcassonne, France
The park maintains a collection of Australian animals in outdoor enclosures, allowing visitors to observe their natural behaviors throughout different seasons.
The park emerged from a local initiative to establish educational connections between French and Australian wildlife culture in the early 2000s.
Educational programs at the park teach visitors about Aboriginal animal stories and traditional Australian perspectives on wildlife conservation.
The park opens three days per week: Wednesdays and Saturdays from 14:00 to 18:00, and Sundays from 10:30 to 18:00.
Visitors can participate in specialized animal feeding sessions while learning about Australian wildlife dietary patterns from experienced zookeepers.
