A new family adventure is settling in Croix

Let’s not kid ourselves: finding a day out that delights both kids, teenagers, and parents can sometimes feel like a miracle. Le Monde de Noé ticks all the boxes. Already established in two locations in Paris, this concept is finally making its way near Lille with one mission: to reconnect city dwellers to the animal world through a gentle, playful, and discovery-filled immersion.

The venue resembles a little indoor exploration park, designed like a dreamlike nature where each space tells a story. And the best part: the animals present are all rescues, adopted from shelters or saved after being abandoned.

A 1.5-hour journey through a reimagined nature

At Le Monde de Noé, there are no lined-up cages : we explore three imagined ecosystems to get closer to the animals in a whole new way.

In the Ranch, we gently settle in among giant rabbits and rodents living their best lives.
In the Jungle, we discover a tropical universe filled with colorful birds, aquatic creatures, and a few surprises at kid-height.
Then we reach the Base Camp, a sort of final chapter, revealing the mysteries of the planet through curiosities, insects, and expedition gear.

All of this is guided by Rangers, passionate keepers who accompany each small group, share stories, explain animal behaviors, and raise awareness without being preachy.

The Little Awakening: a program for kids from 1 year old

A big highlight of this new place: a discovery workshop for children aged 1 to 4 years, designed to gently help them understand their emotions, stimulate their five senses, and develop a calm relationship with animals.

With a small group of four, animal mediation, cozy surroundings, and help in overcoming little fears… It’s gentle, reassuring, and just perfect for little explorers who are discovering everything for the first time. A truly kind and nurturing experience.

Rescued animals... and pampered!

Giant rabbits, ferrets, parakeets, carp, insects... All have been adopted after being abandoned or spending time in a shelter. The World of Noah is designed around animal welfare: enriched enclosures, retreat zones, rotation of animals, veterinary support, limited interactions... Nothing is left to chance, and the goal is clear: to create a bond, not a miniature zoo.

At the opening in Lille, new residents will join the adventure, including an unprecedented decor: the kingdom of guinea pigs. We promised you cuteness!

A meaningful outing (that breaks the routine)

The experience is loved by families and curious city dwellers alike. You learn, you touch, you observe, you marvel... and you leave with that rare feeling of having lived a moment that feels good. And for children, it's often the spark that ignites a lasting fascination for animals: exactly what the founders envisioned.

date creators, Edgar and Hector Bonvallot, hoped to create the concept.
