One of the most celebrated landmarks in eastern Paris, The Grand Rocher, a 65m fake boulder that dominates the skyline around the Bois de Vincennes, is the defining symbol of the French capital's zoo.
Now, the renamed Parc Zoologique de Paris is ready to open its gates once more after being closed for nearly six years for a €133m renovation. Managers say it is the first time a zoo has been completely rebuilt.
The 14.5-hectare site, with about four kilometres of walkways, has been designed with the animals in mind. They have been grouped by region rather than type: Madagascar, Patagonia, Guyana, Europe and Sahel-Sudan.
