Paris Zoo of the Jardin des Plantes Tickets

By purchasing this ticket, you’ll gain skip-the-queue access to the Ménagerie, France’s oldest zoo. Founded in 1794, it is home to a wide variety of animal species from all over the world. Here you can admire colourful and exotic birds (parrots, flamingos, etc.), tigers, crocodiles, lemurs, zebras and many other animals. Among the rarest species, the following stand out:

• Okapi – A solitary and shy animal, closely related to the giraffe. Its coat is short, coarse and dark brown. It has black and white stripes on its legs, very similar to those of a zebra. These stripes serve as camouflage in the dense jungle vegetation.
• Andean tapir – Primarily nocturnal, it hunts and feeds at night and spends most of the day hidden away and resting. It has short, coarse fur that is black or dark brown in colour. It may sometimes have white patches on its face, neck and throat. The zoo is also home to another endangered species: the Malayan tapir.
• Manul – A small species of wild cat native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia. It is characterised by a soft coat and a relatively small head with rounded ears and large yellow or green eyes.
• Northern bald ibis – A large bird with a slender body and long, thin legs. Its head and neck are devoid of feathers, revealing bare, dark red skin. Originally widespread across Europe, Africa and Western Asia, it is now found only in a few locations in southern Europe.

The Ménagerie is an attraction for all ages. An ideal place for families with children and for nature lovers.
