LA FERME DU PARADIS
RIEUMES
Ideal for holidays and a day out with your family! In our scientific and cultural theme parks, such as the Cité de l’Espace, knowledge is on offer in a fun and interactive way. A visit to the African reserve in Sigean or to the Gévaudan Wolf House - and you can reconnect with the beauty of the animal world. In Occitania, a whole host of other theme parks provide a wide range of entertainment.
Curious visitors of all ages can explore the huge interactive complex at the Cité de l’Espace in Toulouse. This is the biggest theme park dedicated to space in Europe. Logically enough, since Occitania was the birthplace of the European aerospace industry.
A radical change of direction with the Prehistory Park in Tarascon-sur-Ariège - you will find yourself transformed into explorers of lost worlds!
Other smart and fun destinations: the Gallic Village in Rieux-Volvestre, the Pyrène Forges near Foix or the Vieux Mas 1900 (the old farmhouse) in Beaucaire.
Don't miss
Airbus in Toulouse, a gigantic attraction! The assembly area of the A380, the world's biggest plane, is not a theme park, but its exceptional character makes it one of the most attractive sites in Occitania.
In Occitania, you can see wild animals living in semi-liberty: head for the African Reserve in Sigean, for African Safari on the outskirts of Toulouse, for the Gévaudan Wolf Park or the European bison reserve in Sainte-Eulalie, among others.
Occitania's rich animal life can also be seen at sanctuaries like the Pyrenees Animal Park in Argelès-Gazost, the Maison des Vautours in the Jonte Gorges… For birds of prey displays, make for the Donjon des Aigles de Beaucens or the Ecoparc du Rocher des Aigles in Rocamadour.
