Espace Zoologique De Saint Martin La Plaine

What a lovely zoo. Project based zoo, saving and rescuing animals , is located in the hills of Saint Martin la Plaine. 40 mn from Lyon by road. They host animals from lions, tigers, gorillas, a nice vivarium, and many monkeys of all varieties Wolves and bears and more. It s worth the visit, but be ready to walk the hills. You can easily spend 4 hours without noticing
