Zoo du Parc des Cytises, Petting zoo in Bénifontaine, France
The Zoo du Parc des Cytises maintains habitats for wallabies, ferrets, peacocks, and numerous waterfowl species across its outdoor enclosures and walking paths.
The establishment of this regional animal park contributed to the transformation of the former mining area into an educational and recreational destination.
The zoo connects local communities with nature through educational programs focused on native French wildlife and international species conservation efforts.
Visitors can access the animal exhibits and petting areas daily from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with designated paths suitable for wheelchairs and strollers.
The facility combines traditional zoo exhibits with an interactive petting area where children can meet rabbits and other small animals under supervision.
