Zoo de Doué

The Bioparc houses 2000 animals within limestone quarries, featuring underground tunnels, cascading waterfalls, and naturally regulated temperature environments throughout the complex.

Established in 1961, this zoological park transformed ancient limestone quarries into specialized habitats, maintaining the geological heritage of the Loire Valley region.

The park contributes to international conservation programs, protecting endangered species through scientific research and breeding projects within its limestone cave network.

Located 42 kilometers from Angers and 22 kilometers from Saumur, the park offers daily access from February to November with extended summer hours until 19:30.

Natural limestone caves and tunnels create temperature-controlled environments where visitors can observe animals from underground viewing areas throughout all seasons.
