A Cupulatta
One of Europe's largest tortoise conservation centers, home to more than 150 species of land and freshwater tortoises from around the world, and a popular choice for families.
A Cupulatta sits beside the road from Ajaccio to Coti-Chiavari, set in an oak forest on a hillside. The park keeps thousands of tortoises, including giant Aldabra tortoises and Corsica's native Hermann's tortoise, and runs breeding and rescue programs. Walking trails link the various enclosures, which are explained by information panels, and there is an incubation room. Allow about 2 hours, which suits a visit with children. Admission is about 15 euros. The park is generally open from April to October and closed from November to March. It is about a 30-minute drive from the city center.
