About
Parc de Lunaret – Zoo de Montpellier invites visitors to explore a vibrant wildlife haven tucked in the heart of Montpellier.

A standout feature is the Réserve du Lez, a natural oasis that offers open‑air walkways, picnic spots, and an interactive bird‑watching experience. The zoo’s iconic Serre Amazonienne, though temporarily closed for maintenance, once showcased a dense rainforest ambiance with canopy gardens and resident sloths. Walking paths are clearly marked, and visitors can download the latest map amid ongoing renovation work.
