background

The park was originally opened on May 1, 1992 by Monique and Dany Laurent with around 500 animals under the name "Safari Africain". Six years later, the park was renamed Planète Sauvage, which was managed by the French amusement park chain Grévin & Cie from 2005 to 2015 . In May 2015 the zoo was sold together with the French amusement park La Mer de Sable for 15.4 million euros to the amusement park chain Looping Group , which has been the new operator of the zoo since the end of June 2015.

On a park area of ​​80 hectares with small forest areas and a ten-kilometer safari route, the Planète Sauvage is home to over 1,000 animals from around 150 species, including: a. Elephants, lions, rhinos, hippos, wolves, bears, cheetahs, giraffes, bison, zebras, Watussi cattle and wallabies. The safari route there is divided into the five continents with the respective animal species. There has also been a dolphinarium since 2009 , in which five dolphins are kept. The dolphinarium is one of three dolphinariums that currently exist in France.
