We visited this zoo while on our summer holidays. The zoo is fairly well publicised and signposted. The parking is well set out and plentiful. Staff at the entrance are very friendly and helpful and speak English if your French isn't good. There is a wide variety of animals from Guinea pigs to giraffes, all in well looked after habitats. Watch out for the goats if you feed them. Great fun but the bigger ones can be a little boisterous! We had lunch at the Sandwich bar. The chicken nuggets and chips were freshly cooked and the beef sandwich was amazing. A big lunch fot four of us came to about 50 euros but it was huge and we could easily have shared. Overall we had a fantastic day, adults and children alike. Definitely going back next holiday.

Come and visit La Cité de la Mer in Cherbourg, a family attraction all about man’s adventures under the sea, and a must when you are in Normandy. You can spend the whole day here and go round “Titanic, return to Cherbourg”, an exhibition which has its like nowhere else in France. It is on the theme of the celebrated liner, but also on emigration. You will also be able to listen to the Captain of Le Redoutable telling you about his life on board the largest submarine open to the public in the world. Then you will gaze in awe at our 17 aquariums, including the magical, 11-metre-deep, Abyssal Aquarium.

We stopped off on a cruise. The museum was right next to the cruise terminal and worth every euro. The Titanic exhibition was particularly good as was the nuclear submarine.

Create in 1983 in the heart of the Norman hedgerow, the animal park of Montaigu La Brisette welcomes you. A multitude of animals, coming from the 5 continents, accompany you for a great walk in a wooded park of 15 hectares bordered by magnificent ponds.
