An area of 55 hectares surrounded by a wall of more than 3 km shelters bits of worlds, gardens and animals, united among the universes of men in all their diversity and their cultural and spiritual riches. We travel from one end of the continent to another in a few steps, from an Indonesian temple to a village of Malagasy huts, from a Chinese garden to a village of birds of prey. Elephants, giraffes, rhinoceros, lemurs and small sapajous monkeys live together with the birds in freedom or in a cathedral aviary; reptiles and bats can brush past us in a crypt or barn, as Captain Nemo's world protects a time travel among the world's fish. Since 2014, the park has housed a pair of giant pandas on loan from China for a period of 15 years.
