Les terres de Nataé, Wildlife conservation park in Pont-Scorff, France
Les terres de Nataé is a zoological park on the banks of the Scave in Pont-Scorff, Morbihan. Its entrance is a low white gate painted with a blue panel reading "ZOO PONT-SCORFF", a macaw head on one door and a lemur face on the other. The park's logo shows an elephant, a smaller quadruped and a flying bird above the words "LES TERRES DE NATAS" and "PARC ANIMALIER DE BRETAGNE".
The park was established in 1973 and evolved from a conventional zoo into a conservation center focused on endangered species and environmental education. This shift reflects a growing worldwide emphasis on animal protection and teaching visitors about nature.
The park's name refers to Nataé, a figure from Breton legend rather than a Celtic goddess of nature protection. The site was renamed Les Terres de Nataé when it reopened on 21 June 2022 under the Breizh Park project of entrepreneur Sébastien Musset, after the former Pont-Scorff Zoo closed in December 2019. The entrance gate still carries the old "ZOO PONT-SCORFF" lettering, with painted macaw and lemur heads on its white slatted doors.
The park operates daily and visitors can walk around on their own or join guided tours to learn more about the animals. Multiple dining areas and picnic spots are located throughout the grounds, and clearly marked paths make it easy to navigate.
A pair of red pandas arrived in 2023 and live in a specially designed forest habitat as part of an international conservation program. These rare animals attract visitors who want to learn about their behavior and the efforts to protect their species.
