Château de Thoiry

Château de Thoiry, built in 1559 by the de La Panouse family near Paris, represents a unique blend of Renaissance architecture with modern wildlife and botanical experiences across 150 hectares. The castle itself, still home to the Counts of La Panouse and available for guided tours, features architecture based on the golden ratio. The estate is renowned for Thoiry ZooSafari, hosting nearly 1,500 animals of around 100 species living semi-wild across an 8-kilometre drive through an African Reserve, alongside France's largest plant maze and designated Remarkable Gardens. Special offerings include candlelit concerts, escape games in historic cellars, and innovative interactive experiences blending history with contemporary entertainment.
