Getting here

Travel to the zoo the eco-friendly way – by metro, RER train, tram, bus or the Velib’ or Autolib’ bike and car sharing schemes!

Getting here

The possibility of parking near the zoo cannot be guaranteed, especially in the case of sunny weather (high attendance at Bois de Vincennes and Lac Daumesnil). Several means of public transport make it easy to reach the park. That’s why, in a logic of practicality but also of sustainable development, we strongly advise you to favor public transport.

We don’t have a private car park. To facilitate the arrival of car owners under advantageous conditions, the Parc Zoologique de Paris has approached structures who offer preferential rates for certain car parks near the Park. After parking in one of these car parks, you can reach the zoo in a few minutes and in complete peace of mind using the metro, buses or even the tram.

To book your parking space in advance and enjoy reduced parking fees, go to the on-line booking centre at parkingsdeparis.com.
