 Wolves in their natural environment |
Parc Zoologique de Courzieu (Arbresle) Lyon 69690 France +33 4 7470 9610 http://www.parc-de-courzieu.fr/ |
Tucked away in the beautiful area of the Pays de l'Arbresle, this wildlife park offers a unique experience with birds of prey, wolves and our feline friends. Activities include a walk around the valley of the wolves where one can watch them in their natural environment, as well as educational games and exhibitions available for children and adults. Falconers work with different species of birds such as owls, falcons, buzzards, vultures and eagles. There is a restaurant and a souvenir shop at the entrance to the park. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Zoological park |
Parc Zoologique St Martin la Plaine Lyon 42800 France +33 4 7775 1868 http://www.espace-zoologique.com/ |
This nature reserve is located in the very pleasant Lyonnais hills to the South-West of Lyon. It is a place where threatened species are cared for rather than a zoo where animals are stuck behind bars. The keepers like to make the visitors aware of how the animals live and the problems they may have encountered in their homeland. The park specialises in protecting gorillas and Siberian tigers, but has plenty of other species, including wolves, chimpanzees, birds of prey and parrots. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A zoo with over a thousand animals |
Boulevard des Belges Lyon 69006 France +33 4 7282 3500 |
This zoological garden in the middle of the Parc de la Tête d'Or on the corner of boulevard des Belges and avenue Verguin is a real home for over 1100 animals. Next to the deer park, visitors of all ages can see wild animals from all over the world, such as elephants and giraffes and in the spring you may be lucky enough to get a glimpse of their babies. A little patience and a stroll in the park will probably reward you with a sighting of a grey heron by the lake, a squirrel on a bench or even a rather bad-tempered Florida turtle (which some people unfortunately drop in the lake!).
