I've just been to the Bioparc and the Hamlyn's were not mixed in with the gorillas. They are in adjacent enclosures so I can't discount that it happens.
The equatorial zone contained the following mixed exhibits on the day of my visit:
Gorillas, sitatungas, white-naped mangabey, de Brazza.
Hamlyn's monkeys, white-naped mangabey.
Drill (1.3), sitatunga(1.1.1), de Brazza (1), talapoins, pygmy hippo (2).
Congo buffalo(1.1), red river hog, pelicans.
Hippos were not on display.
