Zoo des 3 vallées, Wildlife park in Montredon-Labessonnié, France.

Zoo des 3 vallées is a wildlife park on a hillside in Montredon-Labessonnié, Tarn, covering 58 hectares. Its upper slope holds rows of wire-mesh enclosures with green metal frames on grass and sand, while lower down stand low buildings with white walls and green or red-brown roofs, some under arched green mesh. A 4 km walking route took about four hours.

This park opened in 2013 and rapidly built its animal collection, with carnivores like wolves and foxes gaining dedicated spaces. Development focused on housing diverse species in spacious enclosures while expanding visitor offerings over time.

The zoo takes its name from the three valleys that characterize the surrounding landscape. The layout of the enclosures follows natural geographic features, giving visitors a sense of how the park connects to its local setting.

The visit is a 4 km walking route on foot, taking about 4 hours, so plan a half day and wear shoes suited to a hillside slope. The park has been closed to the public since 2021, with animals being placed in other parks, so check its status before travelling to Montredon-Labessonnié.

The visit was made on foot along a 4 km route that took about four hours, not by car. The park closed to the public in 2021, and its animals have since been placed in other parks; by 2023 about 300 remained on site as it was reclassified as a breeding park.
