A Tropical Voyage of Discovery
Looking for a unique and exotic day out during your holiday at Camping Arleblanc? Take a trip to the famous crocodile farm in Pierrelatte. Although the drive is a bit longer, you will be rewarded with a one-of-a-kind park—there is truly nothing else like it in all of Europe. Inside, you’ll find a wonderfully warm, subtropical climate, surrounded by lush palm trees, banana plants, and gently flowing water—the home of some truly impressive cold-blooded predators.
The Fascinating World of Crocodiles
As the largest reptile park in Europe, the site is home to more than four hundred crocodiles, caimans, and alligators from various continents. Walking along the raised wooden footbridges, you can get a close-up view of these imposing descendants of the dinosaurs. You might see them lying motionless, basking in the sun along the water’s edge, or gliding silently through the water—all while informative signs explain their survival techniques and the efforts to protect them.
Giant Tortoises, Snakes, and Colorful Fish
The park is home to much more than just crocodiles. You will encounter gentle giants, such as the magnificent Seychelles and Galapagos tortoises, as well as rare monitor lizards, iguanas, and constrictor snakes. Large aquariums house vibrant tropical fish, and in the insectarium, you can come face-to-face with remarkable insects and spiders from all over the globe.
Learning and Experiencing During Feeding Times
Beyond the sheer spectacle, the park focuses heavily on nature conservation and education. Throughout the day, keepers host engaging presentations and spectacular feeding demonstrations, allowing you to witness firsthand just how agile and powerful these animals can be. It is a lively and educational experience that never fails to amaze—captivating curious young explorers and adults alike.

Children can climb and slide in the outdoor playground, while parents enjoy a refreshing drink or a delicious lunch in the indoor restaurant. The pathways winding through the tropical botanical garden are generously spaced, ensuring a relaxing and well-rounded day out for the whole family.
