The eco zoo – Sables d’Olonne

A change of scenery guaranteed at the Sables-d’Olonne ecozoo

A zoo full of surprises

The Zoo des Sables is a must-see and a must-do during your stay in the Vendée. Located less than 30 minutes from the campsite, this 3-hectare park guarantees a memorable walk in the shade of the 195 species of trees that line its paths.

To help you make the most of your visit, the ecozoo team organizes lunchtime events and theme days with fun activities.

Hundreds of exotic animals to see

During your visit to the Zoo des Sables, you’ll have the pleasure of admiring over 500 animals from 60 species, including the broad-fronted crocodile, Amur panther, Kordofan giraffe, Atlas lion, capybara, Asian otter, molur python and lion tamarin. All these exotic creatures are housed in enclosures that reproduce their natural living conditions.

A zoo at the cutting edge of eco-conservation

The Zoo des Sables is a leader in the conservation of endangered animals such as red pandas, maned wolves, gibbons, hornbills and anteaters. It even coordinates the breeding plan for the Buffon’s Macaw on an international scale! In all, more than half of the park’s species are covered by international protection projects. As well as being a place to get away from it all and enjoy the sights, the Ecozoo des Sables is also a sanctuary for endangered animals.
