The construction of a brand new zoo in Paris, bois de Vincennes

The construction of the new zoo in Paris, le Parc Zoologique de Paris, has been carried out by Bouygues Construction, a company with many years of experience in innovative projects, in France and elsewhere. As part of the Chrysalis project, Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France was responsible for the full renovation of Zoo de Vincennes, which first opened in 1934. Every care has been taken to ensure the well-being of the animals in the new zoo, with in particular the installation of heating from fake rocks and the construction of a tropical greenhouse which is heated to 25°C all year round. Visitors can observe animals living in virtual freedom in five vast bio-zones that include 16 ecosystems. This timelapse will give you an idea what happened during the transformation of the old ‘Zoo de Vincennes’ into a modern zoo ‘le Parc Zoologique de Paris’, that is reorganised into 5 vast biozones for the well-being of the animals (Source: Bouygues Construction website and YouTube channel)
