Turtle Village

Source: www.provencebeyond.com. Posted on 08 May 2006.

The Village des Tortues is a zoological park for turtles, set in a nicely wooded location next to the village of Gonfaron in the department of the Var, on the edge of the Massif des Maures.

With its vast variety of turtles, the Turtle Village park is a great amusment for kiddies of all ages, and is very educational about our fine armoured friends. We visited on a busy holiday weekend, and watched not only the turtles, but all the little kids running about with great excitement.
