The Tortoise village is located in a typical Provencal scrubland area characterized by green oaks and cork oaks, rosemary and lavender... It covers about 3 hectares and shelters more 1500 tortoises. You can discover how we take care of these animals, how we feed, breed and protect them.

Tortoises are fed in the morning around 9h30. During summertime, it is easier to observe them in the morning or late afternoon as temperature is cooler than around noon.
