More information on Parc zoologique de Vincennes (Le)

One of the best things about the Vincennes zoo is the fact that just a few métro stations from the city center. This rather traditional zoo is an institution. On sunny Sundays, Parisians take it by storm certain to spend (finally) a great day! The 1200 animals delight the youngest visitors. To enjoy a splendid view of Paris, climb up to the mountain-goats park, 60 meters (196 feet). The most popular animals remain the seals and placid elephants, which would probably prefer to be free than well liked.
