Thoiry Lumières Sauvages

For 7 years now, in the run-up to Christmas and the festive season, curious giant colourful animals have been invading the gardens of château de Thoiry and the labyrinthe at Wow Safari Thoiry.

An extraordinary journey inspired by Jules Verne

For the 2024-2025 edition, Thoiry Lumières Sauvages plunges us into the ‘Extraordinary Voyages’ of Jules Verne. Discover fantastic worlds through light sculptures depicting iconic scenes such as ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’, ‘Journey to the Centre of the Earth’ and ‘From the Earth to the Moon’.
Aerial adventures, underwater dives, subterranean worlds and space explorations… set off on a fabulous journey through wonderful worlds in the heart of nature.

An enchanted experience

As soon as night falls, the 2,500 illuminated sculptures, entirely handmade and covered in silk, light up to create a magical atmosphere. Each pathway offers a new discovery, whether it's a mysterious island inhabited by exotic insects, an aerial exploration of African fauna, or an unforgettable underwater adventure.

A magical night in the heart of nature

To respect the animals and their way of life, the Lumières Sauvages tour takes place away from the zoo. Make the most of your visit to get to know the animals of the zoo and the safari before embarking on your illuminated escapade as soon as night falls. And for an even more complete experience, reserve your den and spend a night watching the bears and wolves evolve right next to you. An unforgettable experience for all the family!

An ecological commitment

As well as being spectacular, the event makes a point of minimising its environmental impact. Thanks to the use of more than 20,000 new-generation LED bulbs, Thoiry Lumières Sauvages is able to offer intense luminosity while controlling its energy consumption.
