Le Pal in Dompierre Sur Besbre, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is a very large, family-run animal and amusement park. Opened in 1973, the park houses an outstanding selection of family-friendly rides, interesting roller coasters, great shows, as well as some of the largest animal enclosures and aviaries you will come accross in an European zoo. On top of that, the park features beautiful themed areas throughout the theme park and the zoo.

Fun Fact #1: There is a single rider entrance at almost every attraction within the park. The system is widely used and leads to overall smaller waiting times.

Fun Fact #2: There are two large loops throughout the zoo. You can follow the Circuit Court for 90 minutes or the Circuit Long for 3 hours. Both times are highly optimistic, as at a normal visitor pace you will need longer!
