What people say
"We visited Paris during the heatwave of June 26. Last day of our stay there we decided out if the blue to visit the zoo. It was a great decision. Decent ticket prices and a great variety of animals. My children were thrilled. Even though the animals seemed a bit exhausted by the heat and they were trying to find shadows to relax, we managed to get a good look to many of them. We loved the penguins, the giraffes and the flamingos. There are great spots for picnic too. If you go to Paris, don't miss the zoo. Cheers"
