Wildlife park: Planète Sauvage

Planète Sauvage – France’s largest safari park: a must-see family day out just 15 minutes from Nantes

Planète Sauvage is a zoo located in Port-Saint-Père (Loire-Atlantique, 44710), south-west of Nantes. Ideal for a family day out, it covers more than 85 hectares and is home to over 1,000 animals representing around 100 species from all five continents.

• The Safari Trail: a unique experience in France

The park’s signature attraction is its Safari Trail, the longest in France. Visitors can explore this area by car or on a guided 4x4 tour (optional), travelling through some fifteen open plains where lions, giraffes, rhinos, tigers, bears and hippos roam in semi-freedom.

• 5 themed areas to explore on foot

The pedestrian area features 5 immersive zones, including the Cité Marine: Planète Sauvage is the last wildlife park in France to house dolphins  

Unique in France: discover the dolphins during educational shows, but also underwater, thanks to an immersive underwater gallery 5 metres below the surface.

• A strong commitment to biodiversity

Planète Sauvage fulfils four fundamental missions: animal welfare, species conservation, education and scientific research. The park participates in over 30 European conservation programmes, is home to more than 40 endangered species and collaborates with scientific institutions worldwide through its research department, CREAS.

• Experiences for everyone

Themed lodges, unique accommodation experiences, dolphin encounters or 4x4 adventures: the park offers experiences suitable for all ages and is accessible to people with reduced mobility.

A magnificent zoo, Nov 2025
Whatever the season or the weather, the zoo is superb and a lovely place to visit. The new light display is simply magnificent, for young and old alike.

A superb experience, Oct. 2025 • Solo
A day spent with one of the park’s keepers – a wonderful experience, very interesting and varied. The staff who welcomed us clearly love their work and take great care of the animals.

An exceptional park. A drive-through safari where you see lots of animals: bears, wolves, giraffes, elephants. The safari is about 10 km long, with a rest area at the 5 km mark featuring children’s play equipment and a goat enclosure. The walking area also lets you see the dolphins. A clean park with welcoming, smiling staff.

A must-visit in the region, for young and old alike! Rain can put a damper on the walking trail, but the safari tour is really enjoyable whatever the weather. It makes you want to spend the night there 🌙
