Because the City of Paris is keen to support the animal cause, the Maison de l'Animal will open its doors from February 4, 2025. Located in Bercy Park, this new place is aimed at those who wish to know better animals, whether domestic or wild.
Several major projects are to see the light of day Paris in 2025: press cartoon house, memorial garden, new urban forests, but also house for animals. It is within the Bercy park – not far from the hedgehog care center in the Bois de Vincennes – that this “ Animal House » must officially open its doors from February 4, 2025. With this new place, the City of Paris wishes to address those who want to better understand the animals we encounter in the city, whether domestic or wild.
The Animal House will be an opportunity for future visitors to improve relationships between humans and animals, but also to care for and protect animals, in particular by adopting good practices to live well with them.
To do this, the Animal House will house an access point to veterinary carewith hotlines accessible to people in precarious situations or homeless people. Support to ensure the medicalization and monitoring of animals (dogs and cats) will also be offered.
To raise awareness of the animal cause, the Animal House will organize several educational activities : dog and feline education workshops, temporary thematic exhibitions or even school and extracurricular activities.
Finally, in order to support animal protection, spaces for dialogue and debatearound abandonment and abuse for example, will be organized in close collaboration with several associations.
Note that the Animal Houseobviously accessible to pets, will therefore open its doors from February 4, 2025. Please note that the place will not be open permanently. It will welcome visitors the first week of each month, Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
