See main article: Paramaribo. Rainville is a resort in Suriname, located in the Paramaribo District. Its population at the 2012 census was 22,747.[1]
The Rainville resort is home to the Paramaribo Zoo. The zoo was opened in 1972. Unlike most zoos, about 75% of the animals are local wild animals who had been either confiscated or were former pets.[2]
Rainville is home to the Combé neighbourhood. It started as a plantation, and was turned into a village in 1791.[3] The neighbourhood has been named after Nicolaas Combé, a French huguenot and one of the early colonists, who was persuaded to move to Suriname from Berbice.[4]
It is the oldest neighbourhood of Paramaribo, and contains small wooden houses with their own character.[5] When the city centre was designated a Unesco World Heritage Site,[6] Combé was listed as a buffer area.[7]
