La Bourbansais Zoo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the marine world, it’s a zoo we’re proposing. A short distance from the Saint-Malo campsite (25 min by car), you’ll find the Bourbansais zoo in Pleugueneuc, an ideal place for a family day out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This zoo is home to a wide variety of animals, from tigers to monkeys and giraffes. Bonus? This zoo is set in the grounds of a magnificent ch\u00e2teau. Imagine a show of birds of prey against the backdrop of a perfectly preserved 16th-century building. The perfect activity for your Saint Malo vacation, wouldn’t you say? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

The magic outing of your vacation: a dolphin encounter!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make way for the magic. Who hasn’t dreamed of swimming with dolphins? Continue your stay with us by embarking on an unforgettable outing with dolphins. Off the coast of Saint-Malo, you may be lucky enough to meet these intelligent marine creatures in their natural habitat. Did you know that over 400 of them live in the bay? For 4 hours, if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to observe them freely, as well as other species such as seabirds, jellyfish, sunfish and seals. All you have to do is head for the port of Cancale to get on board! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Return of the Wolves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Continuing with magical encounters, you don’t spend your vacations in Brittany for nothing. The wolf is another fascinating animal! He’s waiting for you in Combourg (a small town full of character that’s a must-see for its castle and magnificent lake, by the way:). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too often presented as the “big bad wolf”, come and meet this wild animal. From mid-July onwards, 1 hour of tales and stories are told outdoors in the presence of 2 semi-wild wolves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn more about these emblematic animals, their behavior, their role in the ecosystem and the efforts being made to protect them. Your kids will be thrilled! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
