Because the City of Paris is committed to supporting animal welfare, the Animal House officially opened its doors on February 4, 2025. Located in Bercy Park, the center is designed for everyone interested in learning more about animals, whether they are pets or wild creatures. Following a unanimously approved motion by the Paris City Council, the Animal House was renamed the “Animal House in the City – Jane Goodall” in tribute to the renowned English primatologist and animal advocate, who passed away on October 1, 2025.
