Things to do in Saint-Étienne for self travelers

You don't need to travel thousands of kilometers for an authentic wildlife experience. At Safari de Peaugres, just one hour from Lyon, Valence, or Saint-Etienne, over 1,000 creatures roam freely around spacious environments that replicate their natural habitats. The largest animal park in the entire region has routes and zones designed for driving or walking, so you can explore African Savannah-like plains, American forests, and other far-flung habitats from your car, or on foot – all in the heart of Auvergne Rhône-Alpes! Along the way, you'll see elephants, zebras, rhinos, hippos, antelopes, black bears, bison, tigers, wolves, snow leopards, monkeys, reptiles, and lots more!
