Spend a full day exploring ZooParc de Beauval, one of Europe's top-ranked zoological parks, spread across 40 hectares with over 800 species in 22 themed territories. Highlights include France's only giant pandas, the towering Equatorial Dome recreating tropical ecosystems under a 38-meter glass canopy, and golden snub-nosed monkeys — the first exhibited outside Asia. Take the Nuage de Beauval cable car for aerial views over the park, and catch the sea lion and bird-of-prey shows scheduled throughout the day. The zoo opens at 9:00 AM year-round; booking tickets online in advance saves up to 6€ per person and helps avoid queues at the entrance.
