Summer leisure near Lyon. Safari of Peaugres, saga Africa! –
Text: Emma Ressegaire. The Safari de Peaugres is the largest animal park in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
It hosts more than 1,000 animals spread over more than 80 hectares. Its particularity is to discover the animals from your car, like a real African safari. Cross the enclosures in complete safety and admire the wild animals of the American and African continents, in total freedom. Bears, bison, zebras, antelopes… are ready to come and greet visitors as closely as possible.
The vast majority of the park can be visited on foot. 6 different sectors are to be discovered, in particular the space reserved for big cats. The latter is particularly impressive since the enclosure of lions and tigers is crossed by a glass tunnel that visitors can take. And not long since, the park opened the “Safari Spalsh”, a water playground perfect for cooling off in the summer!
The visit by car lasts on average 1 hour while that on foot, 3 to 4 hours. At the park ticket offices, admission is €25 for adults and €21 for children aged 3 to 12.
