We had an amazing day in the beautiful park. It offers a nice variety of attractions for young and old. Also it’s nice and clean. However what I don’t understand is that you can smoke in the park. But overall really nice!

What a lovely zoo. Project based zoo, saving and rescuing animals , is located in the hills of Saint Martin la Plaine. 40 mn from Lyon by road. They host animals from lions, tigers, gorillas, a nice vivarium, and many monkeys of all varieties Wolves and bears and more. It s worth the visit, but be ready to walk the hills.

Parc de Merlet

Perched at an altitude of 1,500 m above the valley of Chamonix, the Animal Park offers a breath-taking panorama of the Mont-blanc mountain range. Merlet Park invites you to immerse yourself in a vast space dedicated to animals for a leisurely hike through the forest and sunny meadows, discovering several ancient traditional mountain chalets along the way. The unusual closeness with many animals is surprising and would nearly make you forget that they actually live in the wild.
