THE TURTLE GARDEN
Tropical garden and giant tortoises of the Seychelles in Les Avirons.
This unspoilt estate is above all the story of a life: that of Alfred, a passionate fan of turtles and endemic plants, who imagined and built this tropical Eden after many years of perseverance. This 6,000 m² exotic garden is home to 400 turtles, including 200 of the Seychelles' famous giant tortoises, which you can feed and get up close to alongside our animal caretakers. Soigneur d'un jour" mornings are also organized on Wednesdays (except during school vacations). A natural interlude in a very pleasant atmosphere for young and old alike.

Très chouette expérience avec Mélanie qui nous a accompagné le temps d'une matinée. Une vraie amoureuse des tortues, et ces dernières le lui rendent bien.
Nous avons pu écouter ses explications, lui donner un coup de main pour donner à manger et soigner ces petites bêtes en nurserie.
Quelques gratouilles et caresses également aux plus grandes, elles adorent ça.
Nous avons adoré et nous n'avons pas vu le temps passer, on recommande vivement.
