<\/figure>\n\nWhere is the Plan\u00e8te Sauvage zoo?<\/h2>\n\n
The Plan\u00e8te Sauvage wildlife park is located in Port-Saint-P\u00e8re, Loire-Atlantique (44), 15 minutes from Nantes in the direction of Pornic<\/strong>. Allow 1 hour from Rennes, Cholet or La Roche-sur-Yon. <\/p>\n\n Plan\u00e8te Sauvage is open from February 8 to November 30. Opening times and dates vary according to the season. In July and August, the park welcomes visitors every day from 9.30 a.m. to 7 p.m. <\/p>\n\n Our advice:<\/p>\n\n There are several options for visiting the park:<\/p>\n\n On foot<\/strong>, you can wander around the park’s various theme zones on the well-developed<\/strong> footpaths.<\/p>\n\n Drive<\/strong> along the Safari Trail <\/strong>at your own pace. And for total immersion, board a bush truck<\/strong> with a guide for a 2-hour tour of the Safari Trail. <\/p>\n\n Plan\u00e8te Sauvage is famous for its 10 km safari trail <\/strong>, which you can drive around in your own car. It’s the longest Safari Trail in France<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n If you follow the safety instructions, you and your vehicle are in no danger. However, windows must be kept closed<\/strong> and it is forbidden to get out of the vehicle<\/strong>. The speed limit is 20 km\/h<\/strong>, and it is possible to do the Safari Trail with a camper van. <\/p>\n\n To avoid traffic jams, it’s best to start your visit early in the morning<\/strong>. Afternoons, however, offer better tiger-watching opportunities. Don’t forget to bring binoculars <\/strong>for the best viewing. <\/p>\n\n For safety reasons, open-top vehicles, convertibles, motorcycles or cars without a license are not allowed. In this case, we recommend that you reserve a place on the 4×4 raid. <\/p>\n\n The park covers 85 hectares. To get the most out of your visit, allow around 6 hours for<\/strong> breaks and relaxation. <\/p>\n\n The Port-Saint-P\u00e8re zoo is home to almost 1,100 animals of 120 different species<\/strong> living in semi-liberty. Among the must-sees: lions<\/strong>, tigers <\/strong>and giraffes<\/strong>. But also rarer species such as thesacred ibis<\/strong>, Bennett’s wallaby<\/strong>, blue wildebeest<\/strong>, Tibetan yak<\/strong> and great red kangaroo<\/strong>. There are also ostriches and emus, the world’s two largest birds. <\/p>\n\n Admission is \u20ac28.50 for adults and \u20ac22 for children aged 3 to 12. It’s free for children under 3<\/strong>. The ticket gives access to the park’s six universes, including the dolphin educational presentation and the Safari Trail. <\/p>\n\n The animal park has several restaurants open in season<\/strong>. You can also bring your own picnic. There are a number of equipped areas, some of them covered, within the park. <\/p>\n\n For health and safety reasons, pets are not allowed in the park. Dog boarding is available 10 minutes away, at Grands Chenils de l’Ouest. <\/p>\n\n Extend your experience with a night in one of the park’s lodges. These lodges offer top-of-the-range comfort and a complete change of scenery. Waking up with the cheetahs promises unforgettable moments! <\/p>\n\n For further information, visit the park’s official website: www.planetesauvage.com<\/a> or call 02 40 04 82 82.<\/p>\n\nOpening dates and times<\/h2>\n\n
