Parc Animalier et Botanique de Branféré
About
Parc Animalier et Botanique de Branféré is a 45‑hectare wildlife and botanical park situated in Le Guerno, Brittany. Its gentle rolling landscape is home to up to 1,500 animals from five continents, including giraffes, zebras, oryx, red pandas, and Asian otters, alongside a spectacular collection of flowering plants and trees. Visitors can wander through the Parcabout® – an expansive living canopy where they can stroll among branches – and experience impressive bird shows featuring storks, eagles, and parrots, as well as interactive animal presentations. The park also hosts educational sessions through the École de la Nature, where guests can learn about wildlife conservation and even feed endangered species. On top of the natural attractions, a selection of on‑site restaurants, a snack bar, a creperie, and a kiosk provide a range of local, seasonal, and vegetarian dishes, making it an ideal destination for families, nature lovers, and cultural explorers alike. Seasonal charm comes alive during the evenings with “Les nuits de Branféré,” where nocturnal lights and special performances create an immersive twilight experience. With free parking, convenient access by car, train, or bus, and a commitment to environmental responsibility, the park offers a versatile and enriching outing for all ages.
