Park Zoo Reynou — Attraction in Limoges

Now Ive only been to three Zoo's in France but I'm sorry to say this was our worst experience. Most of the animals were inside.

Date Visited : 28th February 2025

The Giraffe's were inside the Giraffe house despite having a very large outside area to roam, the Tiger was locked inside its indoor cage and not in its enclosure. Only one vantage point to see the polar bears, that was blocked by trees, it needed a viewing platform that the Tiger enclosure had to view into the enclosure to see them around their pool.

Overall I think we only saw 50% of the animals listed within enclosures.

The Zoo replied to this review saying that in the winter months they keep animals inside for safety - my reply to that is that it should mention on the website that some animals will not be seen - why charge full price if only half the animals can be seen!

I was contemplating booking a safari lodge but not sure I will visit again.

Lion enclosure was small as was some of the other animal enclosures.

Now I've given the Zoo just 2 stars - to give a comparison Pont Scorff Zoo near Lorient I would give 4 stars and Branfere Animal...

Great zoo/wildlife park, with over 600 animals and birds. A rhino, lions, tigers, leopards, zebra, camels, wolves, otters, deer antelope, monkeys plus many types of birds. The zoo is a long walk and hilly in places with stony tracks, so you need to be reasonably fit, they rent mobility scooters and heavy duty strollers for toddlers, if needed. There are big cats who have large areas to roam and hide, so don't be disappointed if you can't see them! The map isn't the most accurate so you have to explore a little, to make sure you don't miss any areas. There are 2 X cafes, one is basic which sold out of sandwiches early, the other had a reasonable range of made/cooked to order food. There are lots of picnic places and various outdoor play areas for...

We adored our time at Park Zoo Reynou.

We spent over 3 hours there and tried to see as much as possible by following the map as closely as we could. It was an incredible walk to and from each species, with a few climbs up some rocky pathways as well, so be sure to wear appropriate walking shoes as you’ll be needing them for this experience. We saw some amazing animals and truly enjoyed every second of the visit before grabbing some drinks and snacks at the cafe and heading out.

What I especially like about Park Zoo Reynou is that you can see that the animals are treated well, respected and have a lot of space to roam in their habitats. It was a pleasure to see them and we would definitely be delighted to return...
