The park is located on the site of a former 19th-century water mill, which remains a focal point of the valley landscape.
The park's layout is specifically structured around the topography of a river valley to naturally separate animal habitats.
It maintains a focus on the EEP (European Endangered Species Programme) to assist in the survival of threatened Asian species.
The park utilizes a geothermal heat pump system to maintain appropriate temperatures in the sensitive animal enclosures.
The onsite plant life is curated to reflect the vegetation common to the Asian regions the animals originate from.
Zooparc de Trégomeur specializes in the conservation of Asian flora and fauna, set within a 14-hectare valley in Brittany. The park is designed to replicate ecosystems found in Asia, featuring diverse species such as red pandas, tigers, and gibbons. Its landscape includes a restored 19th-century water mill and is traversed by the Ic river. The park prioritizes animal welfare through large enclosures and environmental enrichment programs. Walking paths are integrated into the hillside, requiring visitors to navigate varied topography. Education and biodiversity protection are core components of their mission, often highlighted through seasonal keeper talks.
The viewing platform overlooking the tiger enclosure provides the best vantage point for photography.
Wear sturdy walking shoes as the park is situated in a valley with significant inclines.
Check the daily program at the entrance for scheduled feeding times, which provide the best visibility for animals.
Bring a reusable water bottle as there are refill stations available along the primary paths.
Avoid arriving near the end of the day, as many animals retreat to their indoor quarters before the park closes.
The park is seasonally closed during the winter months; check the calendar before planning a visit.
Stay on marked paths, remain quiet near enclosures to avoid stressing the animals, and do not feed the wildlife.
