Doue la Fontaine
A pretty town with a very busy, good street market, each
Monday.
The zoo is well worth a visit. Not caged animals, but free
roaming in natural surroundings. The site is an old quarry
and has been adapted imaginatively.
All the animals are endangered species that are bred to be
released back into the wild and really seem contented, the
viewing areas are very close to the animals. To first of all
look for a Bengal Tiger, well camouflaged amongst the foliage,
and then watch it walk out into a clearing to sun itself is
awesome.
The rose gardens and rose water factory are close by. If you’re
into roses, there must be every type planted in the gardens,
you can imagine the perfume.
