The Vincennes Zoo: Another way to discover Paris
After being closed for several years, the Paris Zoological Park reopened on April 12th, 2014 with some major transformations! The entirely new zoo in Paris promises both an improved visitor experience and better welfare standards for its animals.
Animals from around the world have come to Paris
More than 1000 animals from all over the world live at the Vincennes Zoological Park!! There you can see penguins, giraffes, wolves, a lynx and even a magnificent black panther.
The Vincennes Zoo allows you to appreciate animals in a “reconstructed” natural environment, and to move from one corner of the world to another in just a few minutes. The Paris Zoological Park is divided into 5 global regions (Madagascar, Guyana, Europe, Sahel and Patagonia).
Thanks to the glass partitions, you can see the animals from up close! Many animals have their own pens and can enjoy lots of space to themselves.
The Vincennes Zoological Park also has a giant greenhouse where the animals can roam freely. Look down and you’ll find birds eating around your feet. Look up and you might see a lazy monkey sleeping while clinging to the greenhouse roof.
The wolves are fed at certain times of the day, a sight you definitely shouldn’t miss!
You can even watch the penguins swimming under water:
