BEAUVAL ZOOPARK
Activities: We went to ZooParc de Beauval, an immense zoo. We followed the visit's direction, saw the shows, and the animals like the pandas, lions, tigers, flamingos, penguins, and elephants. "We learned how the giant pandas arrived." "There are also the different greenhouses that protect endangered species, an impressive vivarium..."
Highlights: We adored "the conditions of animal reception." The kids loved the "carnets de jeux" (game books). We saw many animals well cared for and happy. There were "animations, spectacles..." We saw a baby monkey and baby kangaroos. The savana was "dérourante, on en prend plein les yeux" (mind-blowing) ✨
