Zoological Park of Champrépus
The zoological park of Normandy was born from the passion of Lucien Lebreton (the grandfather of the current owners) on July 10, 1957. The zoo of Champrépus first welcomed animals from the region and then the collection grew, the park becoming, at that time, the first "care center" of the department.

Domaine des Rouges Terres - Educational farm
Discover the animal park of the Roncheville orchard where 25 species of Norman breeds live together.
The orchards of Calvados were born from a desire and a need to return to the roots in our beautiful region of Normandy.
To care for, plant, graft and harvest in the pure natural tradition, without any pesticides, to leave to our future generations a beautiful heritage of nature that we have respected. Labelled Nature&Progrès and Agriculture Biologique, their orchards include 400 varieties of apples (for knives and juice).
The treasure hunt, the playground and the beautiful store make the Roncheville orchard an ideal, playful and rural outing for the whole family!
