Set in a beautiful Normandy valley, the Park (about 25 acres) surrounds a beautiful Renaissance château and shelters protected birds and mammals. The animals are free to walk through the colourful botanical gardens. Rarer species are kept in aviaries. The Park, a cultural and tourist site is also a biology research centre.
