Parc animalier René Canivenc, Animal park in Gradignan, France.
Parc Animalier René Canivenc is an animal park housing around 250 creatures ranging from donkeys and rabbits to emus and wallabies. The animals live in semi-natural enclosures situated alongside the Eau Bourde river, which flows through the grounds.
The park was established to house animals in a more natural setting and was named after René Canivenc. Over time it developed into a facility dedicated to teaching visitors about animal welfare and environmental care.
The park functions as a place where families connect with nature and observe animals in their habitats. Visitors can watch how different species behave and interact, gaining insight into their needs and natural behaviors.
The park is located in Gradignan and is easily accessible on foot, with pathways along the river suitable for different mobility levels. Visitors should bring weather-appropriate clothing since most enclosures are outdoors and shaded areas can be limited.
The park grounds feature an aquarium section alongside traditional animal enclosures, allowing visitors to observe both land and water creatures in one location. This combination lets people directly compare different habitats and the organisms that live in them.
