Atypical stay:Sleep with the hippos in Auvergne!

Did you dream of an exotic trip to Africa, savannahs and safaris? It is quite possible without having to take the plane and organize your trip many months in advance. This takes place in Auvergne, perhaps not very far from your home, at least very accessible by train or car. This is the PAL, a large animal park offering atypical and thematic accommodation inspired by the tradition of the reserves of Southern Africa.

The great novelty of the park in 2015, 7 immersive lodges. The lodges, built on stilts, overlook a large pond where hippos, herons, pelicans and exotic birds live side by side. Pontoons allow you to admire the animals more closely. You can even help feed them. The decoration is authentic, faithful to the tradition of lodges in African reserves. The architecture, the woods, the hangings, the refinement in simplicity, everything evokes and recreates an African atmosphere.

The park displays a very rich biodiversity. In an area of ​​35 hectares, more than 600 animals from five continents evolve peacefully in a landscaped area specially designed for their way of life:lions, bears, tigers, ostriches, wolves, zebras, elephants, giraffes...

The PAL, the first park in Europe to offer this type of accommodation, offers entertainment for all tastes and all ages. Fans of strong (or soft) sensations have a large amusement park. Nature lovers and strollers can enjoy the diversity of fauna and flora. Unlike zoos, where animals are readily available to view, here you will have to be patient to admire certain species in their natural environment. This is the charm of this concept where nature has the last word.

Lake or land lodges, family or romantic stay, you have plenty of choice. This is the guarantee of a unique experience in an atmosphere worthy of an excursion in Africa. To be tested!
