At Thoiry park, in the Yvelines region outside Paris, there are many surprises in store. #Thoiry is not a typical zoo, since the #animals live in semi-freedom. The safari is the main attraction. Visitors get around in their own cars or on board a so-called bush truck to discover 180 different species of animals up close, including lions and #elephants. FRANCE 24 takes you behind the scenes of the park, which attracts half a million visitors a year.
