      We were very lucky to arrive just before the guided tour (2.30pm), which is also feeding time for the animals! the tour was in french (to be expected!!) but we were very happy just following. As it was feeding time too, the lady that was doing the tour had all the food for the animals which obviously meant they came out of hiding! the lemurs are fantastic and are literally right in front of you as you can walk around inside their enclosure (as with some of the other animals) and they certainly werent shy.they definitely have some animals that you wouldnt usually encounter but dont expect any elephants or zebras.the zoo is set on the side of a hill so expect a few steep hills - i didnt see any children in buggies - the ground didnt look very suitable but you dont have to walk too far.

      Takes around one and a half hours to walk through. Some unusual animals but difficult to see some of them (you are warned to be patient but easier said than done with two young children!). No large animals (again which they are upfront about before you go in). I would recommend going for a short trip only because it's quite cheap and good value for that money. The capybara's were quite funny! You really need to leave pushchairs at entrance as terrain not suitable so be prepared to carry young children if necessary!

      This zoo doesn't have big animals like elephants or superstars like pandas. It has small interesting unusual animals some of which you encounter without barriers. The enclosures are big but visible from more than one direction so mostly they can't hide too well. The reserve is in a forest setting making for a pleasant stroll from one area to the next.

      This is a real gem of the the zoo world. It's not big - a visit will only take around 1 1/2 hours, but it's well worth it. The zoo specialises in some rarely seen animals, and is set in lovely wooded hills. It is open until 8pm in the summer so I'd recommend going later in the day. We went after 6 and we had the place virtually to ourselves, and at that time the animals were much more active than they would have been in the earlier heat. There is a walk-through lemur enclosure where you can get really close up to those wonderful animals. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and clearly have a real passion for the zoo and their conservation work. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

      Great but be warned its build on a very steep hill side and is extremely difficult with small children. We spent an hour there and the Lemurs were the highlight. It was fantastic to be able to walk through the aviary with them. Really good to see the work being done to help protect endangered animals. Word of warning, make sure you use plenty of mosquito repellent as we didn't and got eaten alive which kind of spoilt it.

      You follow a 1.5 km long path through some animal cages and along a lot of others. Some animals were impossible to spot when we visited (morning) and there were A LOT of mosquito's. But the funny little monkeys who came sitting on our stroller and the beautifull wolves made up for all of that. Our 1.5 year old absolutely loved it. Very nice place, the people who own it seem to really have a heart for their animals.

      It was worth a 4hr drive (2hr each way) not only to watch the (rare) animals (such as the baby wolverine, the mink and the tapir) but also to learn about the site's conservation projects (with partners in Madagascar and other countries). The way the zoological park is so well integrated in the forest is a real success too. As one of the reviewers noted, there were lots of mosquitoes -- but this is unavoidable in such areas, with little ponds -- this is part of nature, really, so how can complain about it? Practical info: the visit (at a leisurely pace, spending time to observe animals etc) takes 1h30 (as noted on the website itself). There is a pleasant little cafe at the entrance/exit. No need for a hat, as most of the paths are in the shade. Photos allowed, so do take your camera.

      A collection of fascinating and endangered animals in beautiful surroundings. A chance to get very close to many of them. Not large but well worth the time. I especially enjoyed watching a fossa climbing through trees only a few metres away.It also has the most beautiful entry building I have ever seen at a zoo. Dedicated to conservation - make sure you vote for the conservation project you want supported when you leave. They also offer a discount if you arrive by bus or bike. Well worth a visit.

      I visited the reserve with my husband and 6 year old daughter today and have to say this has been one of the best if not the best animal parks I have ever been too. There may not be lions, tigers etc, but there are animals I have never heard of and you get so close to them. I cannot believe the last persons review as this was a completely different experience to that we had today. We did get to the park when it opened at 9.30 and it may be that the animals are livelier at this time before the heat kicks in. You could run around the park in 30 minutes, if you dont stop to read the information and take the time to look for the animals and appreciate them up close and without bars, but we were there for 2 hours and i could have spent all day in the lemur enclosure! It is clear that the people that run the park are passionate about the animals and their preservation and it is definitely worth a visit, moreso than the animal park at gramat and reptiland, which are very unimpressive in comparison to the reserve.

      Visited here today we were in and out in under an hour. We were constantly bitten by Mosquitos and I would not go back if someone else was paying.
