The wildlife park

In the heart of the 300 hectares of Domaine du Bouchard, nature can be observed, discovered, experienced… and sometimes observes you in return.

Fallow deer, red deer, mouflon, and wild boar roam semi-freely in this vast, protected haven. Around the farmhouse, donkeys, ponies, horses, geese, ducks, rabbits, and chickens add rhythm to daily life. And in the sky and undergrowth, foxes, genets, weasels, and majestic birds of prey—short-toed eagles, buzzards, kites, golden eagles, griffon vultures, Egyptian vultures, and bearded vultures—are at home here. You are privileged guests.

Whether with your hosts or on your own, you'll have the opportunity to get up close to these animals! We offer a truly immersive experience in our cottages located in the heart of a wildlife park!

Feeding the animals

With a reservation and a voluntary contribution (a small donation box awaits you in the 4x4), you can accompany the zookeeper during feeding time. A special moment, up close to the animals.

As places are limited, we sometimes have to make choices among those registered. Whenever possible, we give priority to guests staying in cottages outside the park, people with reduced mobility, families with young children, and guests of the Tramontane cottage. We always do our best to ensure that this remains fair and considerate.

You can bring dry bread, fruit, vegetables or corn: they will come to meet you more easily.

An immersive experience

Here, you don't just visit a park, you experience it. Observing a deer at dawn, encountering a fallow deer at the bend of a path or looking up at a bird of prey in full flight… each encounter is authentic, unique and memorable.

Take your time, walk slowly, open your eyes wide: nature loves discretion.

Let's take care of our paradise

Respect for animals and their environment is essential. We strive to preserve the park's balance, protect wildlife, and maintain a harmonious natural setting. Together, let's adopt the right practices so that this little corner of paradise remains as vibrant as it is preserved.
