Wow... Such a great experience. Family of 3 and we loved it. The zoo was impeccably clean and the staff were all super friendly. Being able to get so close to the animals is amazing. Feeding the Giraffes, zebra, ostrich, goats and Tortoise is such a great experience, my daughter absolutely loved it. They sell pop corn to feed the animals.. this is a must do as it adds so much fun to the day. There is a very large array of animals to see and you just keep getting wowed by them. I would most certainly recommend this zoo to anyone thinking of visiting.

Another great activity to do with toddlers in La Palmyre is visiting La Palmyre Zoo. You should plan around 4 hours to see the entire zoo at a comfortable pace. There are so many animals to discover, and interactive areas where kids can feed and gently stroke the giraffes and goats. The zoo is very family-friendly: stroller accessible, clean, and well-organized with shaded areas to rest. There are also a few restaurants and snack points inside, especially during the summer months, which is super convenient when visiting with children. They also offer sea lion and parrot shows, which are fun and engaging for kids, it’s a good idea to check the show schedule on their website so you don’t miss them. Overall, a fantastic place to spend half a day with toddlers and kids while learning about animals and enjoying nature!

I had never been to a French zoo before and had assumed an experience similar to Dublin Zoo...it's very different. Firstly the animals are far closer and more "accessible". The first enclosure for the flamingos is literally inside the front door, and they are arms length away at points. The flamingos looked vibrant and happy in the 30 degree sunshine, flaunting their sunny pinkness to their Dublin comrades. Our first port of call was the Giraffes...where u can literally feed them popcorn from your hand!! My first impression was I'm back in a Victorian Zoo, with an elephant ride up next...but I really enjoyed it!! Seeing the animals up close is a completely different experience. I'm sure there are raging debates in zoologist circles about the wisdom of hand feeding Giraffes popcorn...But they certainly seemed to enjoy it. My son loves Giraffes and this blew his mind. There is a lot to do and see, and on a warm day we picked out a few highlights. There is an amphitheatre where u can watch the sea lions perform tricks for food. 2 shows daily but we missed this. Wouldn't be a big fan of this so not bothered. The elephant enclosure again was far more accessible, there is a small mote with almost 360 degrees viewing angles. U could buy some sort of nuts to feed the elephants. I was initially horrified as I could see people throwing things across to the elephants, before I realized it was allowed. Kinda not sure about this. Turned this majestic animal into a Jack Russel looking for treats (with killer tusks). The enclosure was very large, so I guess they could wander off if it was bothering them 😕 Towards the back of the zoo there are chimps and orangutans. Given the scorcher of a day these animals were flaked out in the shade. Their enclosure was huge with an indoor area too. Lots of waterfalls, Jurassic Park vibes. We finished the trip seeing alligators and reptiles! There is plenty to do and see, with food options too. Huge free car park beside it, about €74 for a family ticket for 4. Worth a visit if u are in the area.

There are vending machines around the park for drinks that are dated and don’t accept NFC payments. Don’t forget cash. Sea lion show was impressive back in the day but has lost its luster over the years. Kids still enjoyed it but as an adult found it missing something this time around.

Amazing Zoo, set in a woodland. You are really close to the animals & you can get in with goats & feeding them is so much fun. Great day out, well priced & plenty of free parking

Very nice park, highly recommended! Great variety of animals, the enclosures looked very good and the staff is friendly. However, when emus are stealing the maps from visitors and goats are getting stuck in backpacks (causing a ten-minute stampede in the petting zoo), you could argue it needs a little more supervision.

A really well kept zoo, spotlessly clean with decent sized enclosures. The animals don't seem stressed. A good point: you can get face to face with the giraffes. A down point: the sealion show was only in the afternoon so we missed it.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful, fine-sand beach, very pleasant. Unfortunately, the ban on dogs (and their droppings) isn't enforced, and I've never seen law enforcement intervene. (I spend seven weeks a year in La Palmyre.) But I recommend it. (Original) Très belle plage de sable fin et très agréable, malheureusement l'interdiction des chiens (et leurs crottes) n'est pas respectée et je n'ai jamais vu les forces de l'ordre pour intervenir.. (Je passe sept semaines par an à La Palmyre) Mais je recommande.

Always a place to visit if staying in the area as there is always lots of things going on in the surrounding places which aren’t always advertised. Staff are helpful and there’s lots of information to take away.

Tourist office with integrated post office. Very obliging and efficient. English spoken

very helpful staff they told us about where to fish in the area.

Very professional staff , great infrastructure

Very helpful would recommend.

Excellent service

Very helpful

Calm sandy beach with a good naturist section. Take your own water and picnic as no services nearby.

Very easy to get to from the car park. You can cycle up the beach edge but don't need to, it's not that far. Lots of naturists and no problems. Very gentle water and lots of space so it was good for the kids. No facilities at all.

One of my preferred beaches for years. It does state it's a naturist beach but in reality it is only to the left of the main entrance, the right side no naturisme is allowed. The waves can be fantastic, the sand is fine and soft and makes a pleasant place to be. Their is no lifeguard service so only advised for capable swimmers. Gets ott busy after 4pm in high season but is great in the morning.

Another gorgeous, wide open beach, plenty of space, soft clean sand, no facilities, backed by pine forest. Very relaxed attitude to clothing...

Brilliant quiet location, easy access

The best beach in the region, IMHO.
