Located near the Léry-Poses leisure center, Biotropica is a unique zoological greenhouse. It offers visitors the chance to discover a wide variety of exotic animals, including sloths, crocodiles, otters, monkeys, and colorful birds. It's a great mix for a nature and educational break for children, just a stone's throw from the lake.
