    • Natur'Zoo de Mervent, an incredible animal park open to young and old alike in Vendée


      Experience a unique and exotic day in the heart of the superb Natur'Zoo zoological park in Mervent, in the privileged setting of the forest. Less than 10 minutes from Fontenay-le-Comte, this vast space of more than 10 hectares is the favorite destination for nature and animal lovers who come to admire more than 300 animals.


      Don't hesitate to get the park map upon arrival to plan your visit, winding between tigers, turtles, otters, bears and even cheetahs for 2 action-packed hours. In summer, a snack bar allows you to take a gourmet break for coffee, lunch or afternoon tea (from April to September), an offer complemented in summer by the giraffe cabin which offers drinks, ice creams and sweets.

      Two picnic areas are also available for enjoying an outdoor meal after an exciting morning. Whether you're alone, with your loved one, with family, friends, or colleagues, the Mervent Natur'Zoo is a popular refuge that plays a key role in preserving and conserving many little-known, rare, or endangered species.


      Info: A variety of activities are offered to children, families and (ref group animation text) to groups visiting Natur'Zoo

    A bucolic and pleasant animal park, a bit hilly. A leisurely 2-hour visit. The animals have large, planted enclosures. We particularly enjoyed the areas where the anomalous creatures roam freely (it's great to see the lemurs and ruffed lemurs approaching you and performing their balancing acts on the trees. We take great care to observe them without touching them). A great family experience. 🙂

    Great zoo to visit in a day. All the key animals are there and it's a lot of fun for younger kids. New restaurant is a welcome addition!

    Wonderful zoo with lots of animals to see. Feeding time is worth waiting for. Good value for money. It was great to go to the enclosure with the goats.
