THE MONKEY FOREST
Here, the monkeys welcome you in their forest: approach them like nowhere else, share a moment with them.
This 20-hectare forest is home to over 150 Barbary macaques (or magots), a protected species native to the mountains of Morocco and Algeria. The visit takes place amidst the free-ranging monkeys along a 1.3 km itinerary. Getting up close to the animals promises to be an emotional experience. You'll discover the way they live in groups, their games, their lifestyle, their habits and more. Animal feeders are on hand every 45 minutes. New: an educational trail will be introduced in 2024.

Members' reviews on THE MONKEY FOREST
Une balade avec des singes en toute liberté, c'est à faire !
La jeune fille qui fait l’animation a eu une parole déplacé devant tout le monde.
Un jeune papa accroupi , tenait sa petite fille dans ses bras et n’a pas bougé lors du passage du magot afin que le singe ne se sente pas agresser. Mais voilà que l’animatrice dit : j’ai dit pas à moins d’un mètre des singes. Et je vois qu’on ne m’écoute pas! Des jeunes filles très sympathiques sont postées ça et là. Et on a un peu l’impression d’être flickés.
