A real turtle sanctuary and not just a turtle "zoo" - A turtle park where the youngest can discover the different species of this animal. Turtles large, very small, red yellow, in short of all shapes and colors. But the most interesting thing is that the staff on site ensure the welfare of the animals. Not there to do animation they seem to care about turtle health! Even more, the park also has a plan to achieve self-sufficiency by reducing its impact. A pleasure to visit and see that it is possible to reconcile animal park with a human / ecological aspect! A must in the sector

Place to visit - We went to this place to occupy an afternoon and we were not disappointed. The place is very nice in summer because the visit is partly under trees, so it allows to enjoy all these beautiful turtles without being too hot and risk sunburn. As for turtles, there are many species, enough to be amazed, accompanied by small explanatory panels even if these could have been a little more developed. In any case, we recommend this visit!

To live ! - As soon as we arrived, a super kind welcome, a super nice guide with clear and interesting explanations, with little notes of humor specific to the Corsicans... Large, small, terrestrial and aquatic turtles... and adorable cats ... The trip there is well worth it! Prestu! Didier Arsenal and Mady from Brussels

Visiting Franklin the Turtle's Home - It’s a beautiful park for those who are passionate about it. The staff who welcome you are very pleasant, the turtles are very well looked after (only problem at the end of October the turtles start to hibernate) I highly recommend stopping there if you pass by there on your way to Ajaccio.
