Any animal shelters, vet clinics, wildlife parks etc that offer work experience/volunteer placements in Paris?

Question

I have basic level of French, (I can communicate to get my point across).

I am going to be in Paris in January 2009, and with my travels I am looking at the possibility of getting some work experience for a couple of weeks. (With animals, since it is my field of study next year)

I am starting vet school in February 2009, and I have already had experience with animals, working at a shelter for 2 years, and a vet clinic this year. - So I am not inexperienced.

Does anyone know of anywhere in Paris that will possibly take in a student of 2 or so weeks?

(I am going to Paris, but will consider travelling to other parts of France if offered an opportunity)

Merci beaucoup!!

Hello!!

In France, I know "Le Zoo de la Palmyre" (I think it's the BEST French Zoo) But it isn't near Paris. It is to 275 miles from Paris (442 km) =S . But it is to the seaside ;)

I already went and it was so GREAT. I had really loved it!

There are many animals!! Nevertheless I think it's better in Summer.

In Paris, there is "The Vincennes Zoo" but I think it is less awesome than Palmyre Zoo. (sorry but I haven't found any link)

You should make some inquiries when you are in Paris.

Have you already phoned in France for this? I think it'd be the best way to know for begining.
