birds of the world

An unaccustomed walk around birds of the globe, for the whole family: the tropical greenhouse, the 'tiny farm', a bar-inn with terrace, children playground, picnic areas, souvenir shop and even first time riding - baptism - on a pony !

The zoo is often rewarded as a breeding center for many endangered species that you will see while walking in the pedagogical and flavoured alleys.
Observe, listen and relax all day long in the singing and sparkling patchwork of the zoo !

The Birds' Garden has been created in 1976, when Bernard LIAUZU, Birds and Nature lover, decided to stand on its own two feet; It was a personal initiative, after a long experience in the biggest French Zoo such as Vincennes, Le Jardin des Plantes in Paris, The Pal Zoo, Villards les dombes... A zoo began to grow in Upie, year after year.

Here, are few evocative names with their shape, colour or singing:
_ Scarlet ibis
_ Pink flamingo
_ Great hornbill
_ Trumpet hornbill
_ Hyacinth macaw
_ Pink pelican
_ Griffun
_ Snow owl
_ Rainbow lori
_ Ostrich
_ Flutor crow

2005: two good reasons to come and see us : A new reception and souvenir shop, and the restaurant "Les vignes de la vierge" with one hundred seats.
Call us to reserve your table for weddings, dinners, birthdays or just for you and your family, and eat with the wonderful view from the terrace.
You can also carry your meal and eat at the picnic areas.

A tip : Combine your meal at the restaurant "Au Bon Bec" and the entrance to the zoo in order to get a lower price!
The zoo is daily opened all year long.
To find us more easily: we are located at less than 20 min driving from Southern Valence, one hour from Southern Lyon, 45 min from both Northern Montélimar and Die.
If you take the highway: Southern coming, take the Loriol Exit. Northern coming, take the Valence Sud Exit and then in both cases follow the city of Crest direction.
