The zoo is quite big, but relaxed, beautifully landscaped and with a nice lay-out and walking route. On top of that we have seen multiple animals we had not seen before (and we have have been to many zoos). The lemurs were probably the highlight, but the giraffes, tigers and cheetah are also great.

We were approached by a photographer who offered to take pictures of the family in exhibition surroundings, with no obligations to buy. At the end of the tour we would then be able to choose from pictures on a computer display. I don't like the approach, where prices are never once mentioned.

The highlight is a polo-shaped tank with sharks and turtles (see pictures). Entrance fee is about 14 Euros so can be on the expensive side. And more if you decide to buy something from the gift shop which has both fish and Brittany-related merchandise.
