Discovering animals

Experience an unforgettable close-up of predators at Fitilieu Zoo – Le Domaine des Fauves. Watch lions up close – shiver under carnivorous birds in free flight – eat in front of jaguars – sleep next to wolves … The Domaine des Fauves will take you on a world tour of predators during your holiday! You can even live unforgettable experiences by becoming a caretaker with the zoo teams or during the “feeding” activities.

Would you rather be close to the farm animals? Go to the educational farm of Domaine Cecolia. You can take part in various activities on the farm, including feeding the goats, chickens, horses, etc.

Family walks in the Vals du Dauphiné in Isère

  • The pond of Malseroud : In the middle of the fields in a sensitive natural area, the path in the undergrowth winds around the pond inhabited by a well-hidden fauna. The walk lasts about an hour, ideal for short legs.
