Huan Huan and Yuan Zi, the two giant pandas loaned by China to the France, will stay at Beauval Zoo in Loir-et-Cher until 2027. An extension negotiated during Emmanuel Macron's state trip to China that ended at the end of last week.
The two plantigrades leased to China arrived in Beauval in 2012, initially for ten years, to become one of the main attractions. Beijing uses pandas as symbols of its diplomatic friendships.
