Espace zoologique de La Boissière-du-Doré, Zoo complex in La Boissière-du-Doré, France.

Espace zoologique de La Boissière-du-Doré is a private zoo founded in 1984 by Dany and Monique Laurent on 28 hectares at La Boissière-du-Doré, on the Loire-Atlantique border with Maine-et-Loire. Animals are kept behind moats or glass, with no wire fencing between visitors and wildlife, and some species are presented in semi-freedom. Its collection exceeds 120 species and nearly 1,100 animals, from orangutans and gorillas to lions, tigers, giraffes and white rhinoceroses.

Dany and Monique Laurent founded the zoo in 1984 on a 3-hectare chestnut grove, first keeping European animals such as donkeys, ponies, mouflons and fallow deer. Lions and wolves arrived in 1985, tigers and zebras in 1987. In 1989 came the orangutans Major and Manis from Duisburg zoo; their daughter Flora, born 3 July 1990, was the first orangutan born in France and raised by its mother. Sébastien Laurent has directed the park since 2008.

The zoo's name comes from the commune of La Boissière-du-Doré, on the Loire-Atlantique border with Maine-et-Loire. Since 2019 it has partnered with the La Nuit de l'Erdre festival to fund great-ape conservation work worldwide. In 2024, for its 40th anniversary, Johann Pailloux published "Dans les coulisses d'un zoo", following a day with the keepers and animals.

The zoo is located about 30 minutes from larger cities and is easily accessible by car. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow plenty of time to explore all areas.

The zoo's best-documented event concerns orangutans: a pair, Major and Manis, arrived from Duisburg Zoo in 1989, and their daughter Flora, born on 3 July 1990, was the first orangutan born in France and raised by its mother. Major, who died on 26 September 2012 aged 50, was then the oldest known Sumatran orangutan male.
