Parc Myocastors

Parc Myocastors spreads across a forested area on Île d'Oléron with enclosures housing nutrias, wallabies, and alpacas in natural settings. The different sections display animals in open spaces with water and land areas suited to each species.

The park was founded over 36 years ago with a focus on nutria conservation and education. Its long history reflects a steady commitment to protecting these semi-aquatic rodents.

The park holds daily animal shows where Ratatouille and Gisèle display their natural behaviors and teach visitors about wildlife conservation and care practices. These encounters give you hands-on understanding of how these animals live.

The park is open daily and offers visitors chances to watch and interact with animals in their enclosures. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended since the grounds feature wooded paths and open areas.

Guests can walk into animal enclosures to interact directly with nutrias as they swim and dive in specially designed pools. This hands-on closeness to these South American rodents sets the experience apart.
