A magical day at La Palmyre Zoo from the campsite
Ideally located in Charente-Maritime, Camping La Motte 17 is the perfect starting point for an unforgettable excursion to La Palmyre Zoo. Nestled in the heart of a magnificent 18-hectare pine forest bordering the ocean, this zoological park is one of the most renowned in France and Europe. Just over an hour's drive from the campsite, prepare for a day of total wonder, filled with the discovery of exceptional biodiversity and beautifully wooded landscapes.
Meet over 1,600 animals from all over the world
La Palmyre Zoo invites you on a true animal world tour along a green and shaded path. Young and old will be fascinated by the diversity of its residents: from majestic great apes (gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees) to imposing felines (lions, cheetahs, panthers), including giraffes, Asian elephants and white rhinoceroses. Don't miss the unmissable polar bear enclosure with its underwater viewing pool, as well as the colourful and graceful spectacle of the pink flamingos that welcome you right from the park entrance.
A park committed to wildlife protection
Beyond the visual wonder, a visit to the Zoo de La Palmyre is a major educational and civic experience to share with the family. The park plays a crucial role internationally in the conservation of endangered species and participates in numerous European breeding programmes. Throughout your visit, fun and informative materials will raise visitors' awareness of the fragility of nature and the importance of preserving natural habitats, guaranteeing you an outing that is both enriching, eco-responsible, and memorable before returning to the comfort of your accommodation at the campsite.
