Homepage Le parc The New World The new world North America harbours vast expanses of wildlife, great plains, huge forests, and lakes. These landscapes hold a fascination that bridges the gap between the old world of Europe and America, the new world where everything is possible, including living at one with nature. Let’s explore the wide-open spaces of North America The “new world” at Sainte Croix is a new 8.5-hectare enclosure, home to bison, black bears, coyotes, raccoons, prairie dogs, porcupines and skunks. Our New World includes a themed restaurant, a large play area and two types of lodge to sleep close to the animals, plus a reception area for all lodges in the park. King of the Prairie, by John Lopez We humans take over wild habitats and exploit them, more or less wisely, sometimes annihilating whole eco-systems in the process. But things can change. The monumental sculptures of American artist John Lopez show how manmade objects can take on a new lease of life. His bison sculpture for Sainte-Croix is made of reclaimed objects from the American frontier, “Wild West” era. A fitting tribute to the King of the prairie. 120 hectares of unspoilt countryside Spanning 120 hectares, the Parc Animalier de Sainte-Croix is home to a selection of European fauna and a contributor to worldwide biodiversity. Explore the five areas of our leafy park where 1,500 animals representing 100 species roam freely. Nature lodges Surrounded by wildlife Stay over with your new friends.
