The monkey valley in Romagne

Find yourself in direct contact with over 30 species of primates, more than 400 animals that thrive in total freedom in a natural, wooded environment on a 16-hectare territory. Discover Europe's largest chimpanzee territory and France's largest gorilla group. Experience some surprising moments: the feeding sessions that take place regularly throughout the day. La Vallée des Singes has recorded over 500 births since it opened, including 10 baby gorillas who are growing up peacefully. Various exhibitions take you behind the scenes of La Vallée des Singes: the arrival of a new animal, care, births and research. A film retraces the birth of Kwanza, one of the baby gorillas born at Vallée des Singes!

Exclusive: Bonobos! La Vallée des Singes is the only zoo in France to welcome Bonobos or Pygmy Chimpanzees (Pan paniscus). Only seven zoos in Europe currently feature this unusual species. Take advantage of a unique opportunity to observe this emblematic species in an exceptional setting: a large building and a territory of over one hectare. This species is closely related to humans, sharing 98% of their genetic heritage! Bonobos, native to the forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo, live in groups, are tree-dwellers and excellent bipeds. Their diet is essentially vegetarian, made up of plants and fruit. Bonobos are adepts of “convivial sex”, their sexual relations being social rather than reproductive. You'll be amazed at how close we are! You'll love them! You'll also be amazed by the first bonobos to be born in France! La Vallée des Singes is home to the largest group of bonobos in the world!
