Experience a unique night in France
Responsible tourism: a meaningful aspect of your stay
Staying with animals in France means choosing a more responsible and meaningful form of tourism. These experiences highlight biodiversity, education, and respect for all living things, offering much more than just a night’s stay. The stay then becomes a true opportunity for discovery and awareness, giving visitors a deeper understanding of ecosystems and an emotional connection to nature.
It is this commitment that makes all the difference. These unique accommodations invite you to slow down, reconnect with what truly matters, and experience a unique moment—perfect for creating lasting memories, whether as a couple or a family.
Immersed in the heart of nature, visitors rediscover the living world, in harmony with its rhythm. This approach also offers a responsible alternative to long-distance travel: just a few hours from home, it’s possible to spend a night among the animals without flying, all while supporting biodiversity conservation.
1/ Sleep at the zoo with the animals
Parrot World's lodges: the most immersive experience
Among the most sought-after experiences for sleeping with animals in France, wildlife lodges hold a special place. Inspired by South American reserves, these lodgings offer a total immersion in breathtakingly recreated animal habitats!
The lodges at Parrot World let you sleep among the animals in luxurious comfort, all while enjoying a direct view of the wildlife. Nighttime becomes a special opportunity for observation, in peace and tranquility.
At Parrot World, three types of lodges are available, each offering a unique experience:
The Jaguar Lodges — perched 3 meters above the ground, with large panoramic windows looking directly onto the jaguar enclosure. A one-of-a-kind face-to-face encounter with South America’s largest cat.
The Amazon Lodges — nestled in the heart of the giant aviary, with breathtaking views of macaws, parrots, and ibises in flight. Wake up surrounded by birds like nowhere else in France.
The Pantanal Lodge — facing a natural pond populated by red ibises and tropical birds, in the soothing atmosphere of the Brazilian savanna.
Each stay includes dinner at Le Panoramic restaurant, breakfast, two-day park access, and a special activity led by animal caretakers.
Additional immersive experiences are available as options, such as penguin feeding starting at €29 or the “Keeper for a Day” activity.
Located just 30 minutes from Paris in Seine-et-Marne, Parrot World is the only place in the Île-de-France region where you can sleep among South American wildlife in an immersive and comfortable setting.
2/ Dome and bubble homes
Sleep Amidst Nature, With a Twist
For those seeking a more contemplative experience, geodesic domes and transparent bubbles offer another way to sleep among the animals. Here, the connection is more sensory than visual, but just as memorable.
These accommodations let you spend a night with the animals under the stars, lulled by the sounds of the surrounding nature. Waking up at sunrise, to the sound of birdsong or the quiet movement of wildlife, transforms your stay into a truly timeless escape.
This type of unique nature lodging is ideal for couples and slow tourism enthusiasts seeking tranquility, romance, and a chance to disconnect.
While the bubbles offer a beautiful view of the starry sky, they do not allow you to observe wild animals up close. For those who wish to go further and truly sleep face-to-face with the animals, Parrot World’s wildlife lodges remain the most intense and memorable experience available in France.
3/ Eco-lodges
Sleeping with animals responsibly
Ecolodges offer a different way to stay among animals—one that is gentler, more subtle, yet deeply immersive.
Here, it’s not about sleeping directly with the animals per se, but about sharing a living environment where wildlife is an integral part of the daily landscape.
Set in the heart of nature, often in rural or wooded areas, ecolodges are designed to blend harmoniously into their surroundings. You wake up to the sound of birdsong, evenings are punctuated by the nocturnal sounds of the countryside, and wild or domestic animals roam freely around the lodgings. This closeness creates a genuine sense of spending the night with the animals, without artifice, in total respect for the ecosystems.
Ecolodges allow you to reconnect with nature, but the wildlife remains discreet and unpredictable. At Parrot World, proximity to the animals is guaranteed: you literally sleep right in front of them, separated only by a panoramic glass wall. A rare intimacy, impossible to find in a traditional ecolodge.
4/ Treehouses
A childhood dream, nature-themed weekend edition
Treehouses are among the all-time classics of unique nature-based accommodations. Sleeping among the animals takes on a poetic and nostalgic quality here, appealing to people of all ages.
High up in the heart of the forest, these cabins offer a unique auditory and visual immersion. Wild animals roam freely on the ground, while birds become your closest neighbors.
This type of accommodation is ideal for a rejuvenating weekend in nature, offering both a change of scenery and comfort. It allows you to spend a night surrounded by animals in complete privacy, far from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Treehouses enchant with their poetic charm, but wild animals are rare and elusive there. If you’re looking for the certainty of sleeping alongside extraordinary animals—jaguars, free-flying parrots—the lodges at Parrot World are in a league of their own.
5/ Sleeping with farm animals
A gentle and authentic immersion
For those looking to spend the night with animals in France, educational and eco-friendly farms also offer meaningful experiences that are perfect for a family weekend in nature.
These unique nature-based accommodations let you share in the daily lives of farm animals, understand their way of life, and teach both children and adults to respect all living things. Here, spending the night with animals takes on a reassuring, warm, and deeply human dimension.
This type of accommodation is particularly appealing to families seeking simplicity, educationalvalue, and moments of togetherness. It offers an excellent first step toward sleeping in close proximity to animals, in a peaceful rural setting.
Educational farms are ideal for a first encounter with domestic animals. But for a truly unforgettable experience with South American wildlife in the heart of an immersive wildlife park, Parrot World offers something unique in France.

FAQ
Where can you stay with pets in France?
There are several options for staying overnight with animals in France: wildlife lodges in zoos, transparent domes in the great outdoors, eco-lodges, treehouses, or educational farms. For a truly immersive experience with wild animals such as jaguars, penguins, or parrots, the Parrot World lodges in Seine-et-Marne remain the most comprehensive option available near Paris.
How much does it cost to stay overnight with pets in France?
The price for a one-night stay with pets varies depending on the type of accommodation and the destination. At Parrot World, lodge stays include accommodation, dinner, breakfast, two-day park access, and a special activity. Additional experiences are available starting at €29, such as penguin feeding.
Is it possible to sleep with wild animals in France?
Yes, this is possible at certain wildlife parks that offer immersive lodging experiences. At Parrot World, in the Île-de-France region, you can sleep right in front of wild South American animals—jaguars, parrots, and scarlet ibises—in comfortable lodges with a direct view of their habitats.
Is it okay for children to sleep with pets?
At a zoo or wildlife park like Parrot World, you sleep right in front of identified wild animals, in an environment designed to maximize proximity and comfort. At an ecolodge, the immersion is more subtle—the wildlife is wild and elusive, with no guarantee of a direct sighting. The two experiences are complementary but do not offer the same level of intensity.
Do I need to book well in advance to stay with the animals?
Immersive accommodations like the lodges at Parrot World are in high demand, especially on weekends and during school holidays. We recommend booking several weeks in advance to secure your preferred dates and lodge type.
