Alligator Bay

Alligator Bay is a reptile zoo in Beauvoir featuring around 700 animals, including alligators, crocodiles, caimans, and giant tortoises in specialized enclosures. The facility has wooden pathways and observation tunnels that guide visitors through different zones.

The reptile zoo opened in 1994 near Mont Saint-Michel and quickly became a center for reptile conservation and education in Normandy. The facility evolved into a place of regional importance for studying and protecting these animals.

The park displays one of Europe's largest reptile collections and teaches visitors about snakes and lizards living in habitats that mimic their natural homes. This educational approach has become an important part of regional learning.

The zoo is about 5 minutes from Mont Saint-Michel and offers parking spaces as well as wheelchair-accessible paths for visitors with mobility needs. A complete visit typically takes around two hours.

A dedicated turtle farm houses around 400 specimens from different species, ranging from under a kilogram to 250 kilograms in weight. These animals live in specially designed aquatic and terrestrial zones that meet their different needs.
