Le Parc des félins à Lumigny

Find an accommodation

Parc des Félins is a haven of peace and reproduction for endangered species in the Fortelle Forest, 52km from Paris. ""The animals are not on show here – we invite visitors to enter their world !"" emphasises park founder Patrick Jardin. The park shows that captivity is no longer synonymous with prison when well thought-out.
Parc des Félins is a breeding centre devoted to felines and lemurs. It houses more than 140 felines, all born in captivity, from the best-known to the rarest. It is heavily involved in feline conservation and is a member of EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquaria) and Species360, a worldwide online data base and management system of wild animals in captivity which provides quality guarantees within the profession.

Parc des Félins - 5 different circuits

The park has 5 different trails, a train ride and a 4D film – a great day out with marvellous discoveries !
Meet members of the cat family on the European, African, American and Asian trails. The European circuit features wild cats, close cousins of our pet cats ! But beware, they are very different. These 2 types of cat split over a million years ago and the domestic cat, which is descended from the Near East strain, only became domesticated about 3,500 years ago. The wild cat or woodland cat cannot be tamed. The African trail has East African, Angolan and white lions, black panthers, servals, cheetahs, etc. The American sector has lynx, pumas, ocelots and jaguars while the Asian trail has Asiatic lions, tigers from Sumatra, Siberia and Malaysia, snow leopards and Amur leopards.

Lemurs at Parc des Félins

Le PArc des félins de Lumigny — Parc des Félins is also home to 40 lemurs of 5 different species. They live in total freedom on a 1 hectare island and come into close contact with the public. Quite extraordinary ! Meeting the lemurs is always a magical time, especially for youngsters.
The Parc also has a train ride to get close to the animals and see them from another angle. It is also the opportunity to discover the Rewa zone with white tigers and East African lions. Finally, you can watch the 4D film « TIGRRR », a story especially created for the park all about tigers in India !
The Parc is open all year round except for 6 weeks at the end of the year and Mondays in November, December and January. The visitor trails are flat with benches to sit on so that everyone can visit the park in comfort.
