Grande Jeanne Wildlife Park : info and guided tour

Introduction to the Parc Animalier de la Grande Jeanne

The Parc Animalier de la Grande Jeanne is a small public animal park located in the hills above Annecy, at 14 Rte du Semnoz. Set in a wooded environment, it offers a short and pleasant walk around enclosures dedicated to mountain animals or local wildlife, in a natural setting that is easily accessible from the city.

The place is appreciated for its peaceful atmosphere and its integration into the Semnoz landscape. More than just a place to visit, it offers a simple discovery of wildlife, with open views over the surrounding vegetation. Its appeal lies as much in the walk as in the presence of animals seen up close in a natural setting.

The park is known to locals as a family outing spot close to Annecy. Its educational and recreational purpose makes it a popular stop for observing species in a calm environment, without any spectacular staging. The enclosures and walking paths make up the main part of the visit, in a deliberately understated atmosphere.

Among the things to see, the park’s animals and the way they are integrated into the forest site stand out most. The simple, green setting is part of the place’s identity. It is this combination of nature, proximity to animals, and an open-air walk that makes the Grande Jeanne recognizable.
