Alligator Bay, Reptile zoo in Beauvoir, France

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.

Jean-Pierre Macé, a terrarium hobbyist, opened a temporary exhibition near Mont Saint-Michel in 1990; its success led to a permanent site inaugurated on 14 July 1994 as the Reptilarium du Mont-Saint-Michel. A 6,000 m² turtle garden followed in 1998, and in 2006 renovation brought a 2,500 m² greenhouse for crocodiles, alligators and caimans, when the park took the name Alligator Bay.

The name Alligator Bay dates from 2006, when the reptile park added a 2,500 m² greenhouse for crocodiles, alligators and caimans. Since 2023 a display called "La légende des dragons" compares mythical dragons with real reptiles and their roles in different cultures. The park is laid out in three themed zones: Serre aux Alligators, Ferme des Tortues and Labyrinthe des Dragons.

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.

The park's reputation rests on its "Serre aux Alligators", which holds the largest group of Mississippi alligators in Europe. Among them are albino alligators: two seven-year-old females and a six-year-old male arrived from Louisiana in 2012, bought in Spain the previous year and intended for breeding, a first in Europe.
