    The park opened the most important european pond turtles breeding center in France.
    The center is composed of a breeding pond for adults, four ponds for youngs, a house for egg incubation and a pond for the red-eared sliders received from private people.
    200 young european pond turtles has been transfered from Réserve de la Haute-Touche and Zoodyssée and released in the park's ponds.

    Map of the center :
