Zoos in France

CERZA/Lisieux

Can anyone give me a view on this place? I will be travelling back to the UK via a late night ferry from Caen in a couple of months and as it is very close I am wondering if it is worth a visit. Yoman - it is not included on your website. I'll also be going to Beauval during the previous fortnight.

CERZA is nice. The enclosures are natural and has a beautiful collection. Yes, the files of the parks are carried out as and when but CERZA and Beauval are very good parks in France. You can find the link to the website of the zoo.

For the hyenas, there is Hyaena hyaena

I think, one of the most interesting zoos in France is Mulhouse zoo, I visited this summer and was really enthusiastic.
Some animals enclosures would not have won the first price, but the animals collection is very interesting, many species are unique in France, such the only bearded saki in Europe, the only male red-bellied guenon in captivity and white-collared brown lemur, other rare animals are crowned sifakas, Lac Alaotra bamboo lemur, Allen's swamp monkey, yellow-breasted capuchin, L'hoests and Rolloway guenon and many others...this zoo is a paradise for all, who are interested in primates.
