Europe 
Tropical temperature for breeding 500 crocodiles

The crocodile Farm, Pierrelatte (Drome - France) - COGEMA* / J.M. Taillat

With 6,500 m2 of covered surface area, heated by hot water provided by the EURODIF uranium enrichment plant (Drome / France), the crocodile Farm is the largest tropical greenhouse open to the public in France. Its more than 600 species of tropical plants will shortly earn the crocodile Farm a listing in a French botanical gardens guide.

Helping to preserve endangered species, the farm is home to 500 crocodilians and 6 young gharials. Some 200,000 visitors have already come through since the farm was opened, in 1994.

The crocodile is the brainchild of founders, Luc and Eric Fougeirol, who have both a passion for the reptiles.
