Palmrye Zoo is on the west cost of France in the Charente region, it's located between Saintes and La Rochelle. It boasts of having 1600 animal and being 30 acres of the most important zoological garden in France.

Sea lion and parrot shows run from April to end of October. The zoo is wheelchair accessible. Parking is free, dogs are not allowed in the zoo, even on leads. The entry price is reasonable at adults: Euro 14 and children 3-12: Euro 10.
