  Meet over 1,000 turtles of more than 30 different species.
  
  Just 20 minutes from Toulouse, the turtles are waiting for you in a green and exotic setting. All the turtles are either abandoned or seized.
  
  They now live happily in the Refuge's ponds and enclosures, where our nature guides will show you around and share their knowledge of turtles.
  
  Entertainment, a shaded picnic area, a secure playground, a refreshment bar and a snack bar with home-made and local products, everything is designed to ensure that you have a good time in nature.
  
  If you're planning a group outing (school, day-care center, adult groups...), remember to book in advance.
