Christmas at the Zoo de la Boissière-du-Doré

The magic of Christmas comes to the heart of the animal park for an enchanting interlude for the whole family, filled with light, nature and wonder.

An enchanted Christmas market at the heart of the zoo

As the festive season approaches, La Boissière-du-Doré Zoo is transformed into a veritable Christmas village. Under the Christmas lights, the alleys come alive, the chalets are illuminated and the atmosphere becomes warm, lively and deeply festive.

Over several weekends, the park offers a magical Christmas market, combining crafts, delicacies, entertainment and unusual encounters with animals.

Concerts, shows, a mini-farm, children’s activities, Father Christmas… Here, every moment becomes a memory to be shared.

A visitor experience between animals and the Christmas spirit

For the duration of the event, the visit to the park continues in a unique atmosphere.

The animals’ feedings are commented on by the zoo’s animators, offering a different view of the species, even in winter. The winter light, Christmas decorations and calm of the season give the park a very special poetic quality.

From late afternoon onwards, the heart of the park becomes an area entirely dedicated to the Christmas market, free of charge, with its chalets, entertainment, restaurants and games for children.


Fun and festive events for young and old

Throughout the market days, visitors can enjoy :

  • concerts and shows,
  • musical entertainment
  • a mini-farm
  • a special Christmas game based around Santa’s reindeer,
  • a daily tombola,
  • and, of course , Father Christmas to meet the children.

All these activities reinforce the spirit of sharing, combining Christmas traditions, games, music and the discovery of life.

Where to eat?

Between two enclosures, take a gourmet break in the heart of the park:

Le Varicatta is a self-service restaurant serving family-style cuisine all day long, either indoors or on the covered terrace.

Fancy a meal on the go? La Paillote serves sandwiches, salads and hot dishes to take away, while La Cabane Gourmande invites you to relax with ice creams, cold drinks and sweets.

Two picnic areas are also available, outside the park (car park no. 2) and near the indoor play area, so you can enjoy a convivial moment in the heart of nature.

For an even more immersive weekend experience, spend a night at giraffe level in one of the Africa Lodges at La Boissière du Doré Zoo. Luxurious accommodation built on stilts with huge terraces. Overlooking the African plain, they offer spectacular views of the giraffes and rhinos. The lodges can accommodate up to 16 people, some with a jacuzzi on the terrace for an even more breathtaking experience!
