The Vincennes Zoo in a few words, figures & images
Open since 1934, the Paris Zoological Park (whose original name was Vincennes Wood Zoological Park and commonly called Vincennes Zoo) was initially a complement to the menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes, with the aim of observing animal behaviour and promoting the breeding of endangered species for their reintroduction into their natural habitat.
You can see the emblem of the Vincennes Zoo from afar: the artificial grand rock.
In order to fully modernize it and ensure maximum comfort for the animals, the Zoo was closed from 2008 to 2014. This renovation also made the park much more pleasant for visitors.
The mission of the Paris Zoological Park is the conservation of threatened animal species and it participates in numerous breeding programmes at the European level.
The Vincennes Zoo is:
- An area of 14 hectares
- 272 animal species and over 3,000 animals
