Getting to the ZooParc: a 7-minute walk (except this winter) 🚶

The ZooParc says it is a 7-minute walk from Les Pagodes to the entrance. With Les Jardins, it is one of only two Beauval hotels you can use without a car.

Address: route de Beauval, 41110 Saint-Aignan, France. Free parking on site.

Watch out this winter: from 16 November 2026 to 5 February 2027 inclusive, the South entrance is closed (except in special cases). Entry is via the North entrance only, near the Equatorial Dome, and the ZooParc recommends driving.

Décor made entirely in China 🐉

Porcelain vases, paintings, carved furniture: according to the ZooParc, every decorative item was made in China. Traditional statues and marble bridges complete the outdoor setting.

A nod to the giant pandas of Beauval, which you will find in the Heights of China.
