Paris animal farm

Take your children on a Parisian « safari ». From polar bears at la Grande Galerie de l'Evolution (Grand Gallery of Evolution) to the tigers at the Parc de Félins (Feline Park); but also the ponies, eagles and insects... The little animal lovers will be thrilled!

« Today, we are going to see the lambs, the cows and the pigs at the Ferme de Paris » (Paris Farm).  Once they recover from the shock of the initial proposition, your children will be seduced by the rural agricultural exploitation in the Bois de Vincennes. After having fed the pigs and milked the cows, they can learn to make jam or how to clip sheep!

The initiation at the farm finished, head straight to the Grande Galerie de l'Evolution of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, in the Jardin des Plantes.  They can caress the polar bears, giraffes, hippos and more, in perfect security, for they are all stuffed! The curious creatures will learn about the history of creation and the evolution of man. If your kids want to see 'the real thing' after this educative visit, take them to La Ménagerie. 

In the midst of all these beasts, there is one address you should not miss: the shop of taxidermist Deyrolle (46 rue du Bac). A lion sits peacefully among the polar bears, while zebras dine with the antelopes...

The Parc zoologique de Thoiry

Continue your animalistic journey, into the surrounding areas of Paris, to discover the most exotic and impressive species.  After the giant aquarium full of sharks at Cinéaqua, thrills and chills are guaranteed with the magnificent ballet performance in the Medieval village of Provins.  For the true 'safari' experience, hire a car for an animalistic voyage that you will not soon forget. The Parc zoologique de Thoiry is an open game farm where the animals (elephants, zebras, giraffes) roam wild through the park, and the public observes them from 'inside' the car.  Don't be surprised if the baboons jump on the car, they're just looking for a free ride! 

From the gigantic to the miniscule, the OPIE (Office for the insects and their environment), allows children the possibility to study these tiny little creatures, from bees to ants and more, as they go about their daily lives. End your wildlife tour with a visit to the Parc des Félins, in the Domain of the Fortelle Forest, for a showdown, face to face with th elions and tigers!
