Le PAL is a theme park and animal park located in Saint-Pourçain-sur-Besbre, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France. It operates seasonally, opening from April to September and closing in winter. The park ranks as the fifth-largest in France by attendance, recording 730,000 visitors in 2024, and has been led by Arnaud Bennet since 1989, with a sizeable workforce. In 2024, Le PAL unveiled its largest expansion since opening, introducing a Scandinavian-themed district by a lake with houses featuring vegetated roofs and elevated terraces for a lakeside snack. Key attractions include Fjord Explorer, a ride that starts as a boat trip and rises to about 30 meters before ending with a 20-meter descent into the lake, and the park has announced a new Voyage au-dessus du Monde for 2025.
