Parc Animalier, Animal park in Tarbes, France
Parc Animalier is a zoo in Tarbes featuring multiple habitats spread across several hectares where animals from different continents live. Pathways guide visitors through the grounds, passing various animal areas and spaces designed to resemble natural environments.
The zoo was founded in the late 20th century and became an important facility for the Hautes-Pyrénées region. Its creation reflected growing interest in animal care and scientific work in this part of France.
The park serves as a place where visitors observe animals in their habitats and learn about their behaviors through direct experience. School groups and families gather here to connect with nature and understand conservation needs.
The grounds are easy to explore on foot with mostly level pathways throughout. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended and visitors should dress according to the season and weather conditions.
The facility runs specialized breeding programs for endangered species and contributes to international conservation efforts. This work often goes unnoticed by visitors but plays a key role in protecting animals worldwide.
