Parc de l'Auxois

Côte-d'Or, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

The Parc de l'Auxois, at Arnay-sous-Vitteaux in the Côte-d'Or, covers 35 hectares of countryside by the river. It presents many animals from around the world: tapirs, capybaras, maras, kangaroos, monkeys, ostriches, porcupines and raccoons.

The park also offers attractions: a swimming pool with water games, a little train, horse and carriage rides, a mini golf course, fairground rides and a hedge maze. A riverside picnic area, a cafeteria and a shop complete the site.
