About La Ferme aux Crocodiles - Réserve Tropicale
At Pierrelatte in the Drôme, La Ferme aux Crocodiles is a unique tropical reserve devoted above all to crocodilians, housing hundreds of crocodiles, alligators, gharials and caimans beneath an immense heated greenhouse where the humid air and luxuriant vegetation recreate the tropics. Wooden walkways thread past basking giants, from Nile crocodiles to rare species saved from extinction, while the greenhouse also shelters giant tortoises, birds, turtles and a jungle of exotic plants. Founded in 1994, it is both a popular family attraction and a serious centre for the breeding and conservation of threatened reptiles. Warm even in winter, exotic and genuinely thrilling, La Ferme aux Crocodiles offers an immersive plunge into the world of these ancient predators — a fascinating and unusual day out in the Rhône valley.
