France welcomed its first giant panda cub on August 4, 2017. The cub was later named Yuan Meng, meaning “a dream come true,” and became the first giant panda born in France to survive. ZooParc de Beauval often described him as energetic and fond of using slides, climbing structures and ladders. In July 2023, Yuan Meng ended nearly six years in France and returned to China.
