La Halte du Volcan, Animal park in Pléchâtel, France.
La Halte du Volcan is an animal park in Pléchâtel where visitors can see various species including peacocks, deer, porcupines, skunks, turtles, and kangaroos in open enclosures. The grounds include a restaurant and picnic areas with barbecue facilities.
Gérard Haissant founded this destination by combining an animal park with integrated dining facilities. This blending of attractions has remained the foundation of the place since its creation.
The place merges dining with animal observation, allowing visitors to watch creatures while eating or spending time outdoors. This approach shows how leisure and wildlife viewing blend into a single experience.
Visitors should know that opening hours change by season and the park is best explored at a relaxed pace in comfortable shoes. The different areas are spread out, so you can take your time observing the animals.
The place offers the rare chance to watch animals from the restaurant terrace while eating, merging nature with dining in one setting. This direct connection between meals and wildlife is unusual for a park of this kind.
