Renaissance-style castle, appreciated for the optical illusion of the sun rising and setting in the axis of the vestibule.

Château de Thoiry was built in 1559 for Raoul Moreau, treasurer to King Henry II and an esoteric enthusiast, to further his alchemical research. Built in the Renaissance style, it offers a dazzling spectacle every solstice from its promontory: the sun rises and sets exactly in line with the axis of the vestibule, creating an exceptional optical illusion. Still inhabited by the de la Panouse family for over four centuries, it's well worth stopping off for a visit, along with its gardens (open from June to August), on the way to the zoo.

Je l'ai trouvé sans plus,animaux difficiles a voire a cause de la chaleur surement. C'est la deuxième fois que j'y vais , et ça sera sûrement la dernière. Je pense que j'irais voir plutot celui de beauval .

Festival des Lanternes
Je me suis rendue au parc du Zoo de Thoiry pendant la saison du festival des Lanternes. Autant si le Zoo m’a laissé un peu sur ma faim, je suis restée émerveillée devant la beauté et la féerie de ce festival de lanternes. À la nuit tombée, on empreinte ce sentier tout en lumières et en couleurs et on redécouvre les animaux peuplant notre planète au travers de ces superbes sculptures enchantées. Arrivé devant le château, c’est un festival de couleurs, qui nous emporte.

Nous avons passé la journée dans le zoo et le safari. Nous avons également fait la visite du château de Thoiry. Malheureusement, il n'y avait pas beaucoup de pièces à visiter malgré la grandeur de ce beau château. Mais, cela fait partie de l'ensemble de la visite du parc zoologique.
