Jardin d'Oiseaux Tropicaux

The Jardin d'Oiseaux Tropicaux (6 hectares) is an aviary and botanical garden located on the Route de Valcros, La Londe-les-Maures, Var, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France. It is open daily; an admission fee is charged.

The garden was established in 1989 and in 2008 was designated a Jardin Remarquable by the Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication. It contains about 450 tropical birds representing 80 species from Asia, Africa, and South America, with notable collections of curassows, hornbills, kookaburras, parrots and parakeets, pigeons, and touracos. Its landscaped gardens contain national collections of agaves (more than 100 taxa) and yuccas (more than 40 taxa), as well as palm trees.

This garden is now called Jardin zoologique tropical.
