If the installations are now considered much too small to receive live animals (any installation is much too small anyway, I find any kind of zoo depressing, the idea of watching prisoners sunk in their neurosis doesn&rsquo;t appeal at all to me\u2026), the refurbished buildings and cages now showcase flashy resin animals, bringing some colour to the park (Marseille doesn&rsquo;t particularly shine by the maintenance of the parks and\/or their landscaping).
