@Gil Well, to be honest, I didn't like my visit.
First of all, the visitor experience is not good at all. The paths are too steep and I do not recommend this zoo to disable people (for me it's impossible for them). This is the only reason you can't finish the visit in less than a half hour as there are just 10 enclosures and about 12 species to see in total. Moreover the viewing points are not good and you never see animals without glass or bars (just one time on a dholes enclosure). The entrance fees are 14 euros so an expensive amount for so few to see.
Regarding the animal conditions I think there are good and bad points :
- good points are the large dholes multi enclosures and some other good enclosures for raccoons, lynx and wolverines.
- bad points are : the area is too hot for temperate and cold species so I think it is inappropriate for most of the animals/half of the enclosures are walled with wood to hide the lodges so the animals can't see outside and it's a shame for their well-being/I didn't see enrichments and accomodations in the enclosures/the aviaries for birds of prey are far too small.
In conclusion I advise Zoochatters to not visit this park for the moment. There will be improvments and new animals areas in the near future (3/5 years) so maybe my judgement will change.
Choose a visit to the Village des Tortues (which is not too far and where I spent a good time) and the Réserve Africaine de Sigean which is the highlight in the area.
