Parc de la Toison d'Or, Zoo in Dijon, France
Parc de la Toison d'Or is a zoological park in northern Dijon covering about 13 hectares. The grounds feature a lake, animal enclosures, rose gardens, sports fields, and children's play areas.
The park developed from a transformed recreational area that was placed under Dijon's municipal administration in 1993. This transition enabled systematic expansion of its animal collections and green spaces.
The name refers to the legendary Golden Fleece, connecting the park to Burgundy's historical traditions. Visitors can observe regional plant species in rose gardens and perennial beds that shape the grounds.
The park opens daily and offers picnic areas, mini-golf, sports fields, and play zones for all ages. A fitness trail loops around the central lake and connects different sections of the grounds.
The park primarily houses regional animal species displayed in spacious enclosures adapted to Burgundy's natural conditions. This focus on local fauna makes it a valuable place to understand the region's wildlife.
