Le Jardin des Tortues is a botanical garden and wildlife park dedicated to tortoises and turtles, located in Les Avirons on the French island of Reunion. Opened in November 2019, the park houses more than 500 specimens of land and freshwater turtles, including giant Seychelles tortoises that visitors can approach and interact with alongside animal caregivers. The facility is designed for families of all ages, including young children and those with reduced mobility, and offers seasonal educational activities, a snack bar, picnic areas, and event spaces. Its combination of species diversity, hands-on animal encounters, and beautiful island setting makes it a welcoming and educational destination for visitors exploring the natural wonders of Reunion.
