Nestled in an 18-hectare pine forest, La Palmyre Zoo is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Charente-Maritime. Each year, it welcomes over 600,000 visitors who come to admire more than 1,600 animals from around 110 different species.
Divided into 6 main categories — birds, primates, carnivores, ungulates, marine mammals, and reptiles — the zoo offers a fascinating and educational experience for all ages.
Beyond a fun day out, the zoo plays a major role in wildlife conservation, scientific research, and environmental education. Over 200 births are recorded annually, thanks to the high standards of care and nutrition provided to the animals.
