Paris Zoo

A NEW CONCEPT OF ZOO

Completely immersed in each of the five biozones, you can observe and learn about the behaviour of the zoo’s thousand or so animals in the wild as they move around their recreated natural environments.

The key principles behind the zoo’s architectural and landscape design are showing the animals in surroundings which replicate their native ecosystems, respecting their welfare and immersing the visitor. Home to around 180 species and over a thousand animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates, the zoo takes you on a genuine world tour of animal biodiversity.

The Parc Zoologique de Paris, more commonly known as "Vincennes Zoo", has been an integral part of Parisian heritage for 80 years.
