To be honest we expected this to be a horrible place, luckily our friends recommended it to us and so we decided to go there on a rainy day.
The  "Parc Africaine de Siegan" is a huge Zoo located at the border of the etang de bages et siagan.
There are parts where you can drive through with the car. I know this is nothing compared to the real africa but it's quite impressive and much nicer than seeing them behind a fence.
Then there's a big and really nicely made area down at the étang where you can walk through. Here you really don't know anymore which bird belong to the parc and which just happen to spend the summer here. Storks building their nests, pelicans too and plenty of flamingos.

The entrance to the park is quit expensive 26€ per person kids starting from 4 years pay 20€.
But you get a lot your your money. You can easily spend the whole day in this park.

The park opens at 9am and is open till approx. 16.30 pm
