L'Île aux serpents to close

[Fred]

The L'Île aux serpents at La Trimouille is set to close on August 31st

The owners have told staff that they will not reopen, and put the closure down to decline in attendance and the economic situation.

Not surpised it's closing Fred. It's incredibly dreary after about thirty seconds. But there again, reptiles don't do that much.

Took a small grandchild there last year and he couldn't see much - mainly because a lot of exhibits are way above his eye level.

However, he really enjoyed feeding time at the Planete de Crocodiles at Civaux. It's right next to the nuclear power plant in case anyone is wondering and feeding time is midday.
