Zoo de Vendeuil, Zoo in Vendeuil, France

The Zoo de Vendeuil extends across 13 hectares of land, providing habitats for numerous animal species in northern France.

Established in 1964 by Mr. Caucheteux, the zoo was built on the grounds of a former military fort dating from 1880.

The zoo served as a central educational facility for local schools, offering programs about wildlife conservation and environmental protection.

At its peak in the mid-1980s, the Zoo de Vendeuil welcomed 80,000 visitors annually, operating daily with varying seasonal hours.

In 1988, French actress Brigitte Bardot purchased 60 animals from the zoo and transferred them to the Refuge de l'Arche.
