The Parc zoo du Reynou is a zoological park situated in the Haute-Vienne region, in the commune of Le Vigen. The park covers more than 60 hectares and houses more than 600 animals from over 130 different species. It opened on July 1, 1997 and presents a wide variety of species ranging from pygmy marmosets, the smallest monkey in the world, to Rothschild's giraffes, as well as many other species of wild animals and birds. It has been designed to allow each animal to reside in a close approximation of its natural environment. The animals are divided geographically into two African plains, two Asian plains, a South American sector, an Australian sector and a mini-farm. The park is organised around the Haviland family château and atypical rock gardens. The gardens were created by André Laurent at the end of the 19th century, at the request of Charles-Édouard Haviland. Many of the plant species are rare for the region, including giant redwoods and American oaks.
