Overview

Clères Park is a zoo founded in 1919 by the ornithologist and naturalist Jean Delacour on an exceptional site. It features both an English-style botanical garden with rare plant species and a castle whose history dates back to the 11th century. 1,500 animals live in this wildlife park, nearly a thousand of which roam freely. The animal collections are primarily focused on birds, but there are also many mammals.

Why This Site Is Essential

Clères Park offers a unique experience that combines three treasures: A remarkable architectural heritage, featuring a castle and historic buildings dating back to the 12th century. An exceptional collection of wildlife, featuring rare species and birds living in semi-freedom. A rich variety of plant life, with a landscaped park featuring a wide range of plant species and certified as a “Jardin Remarquable” (Remarkable Garden)? An ideal place to combine exploration, nature, and history.
