House allowing to discover all the secrets of the king of our forests.
In the heart of the Cosson massif, which is home to one of the most beautiful deer populations in France, the Maison du Cerf is located in a typical Sologne building. You will discover all the secrets of the king of our forests: his birth, his family unit, the fall and evolution of his antlers, his bellowing, etc. You will be immediately in the mood thanks to the sound animations, surrounded by educational panels, slide shows and films that will allow you to learn more about the deer, the largest wild mammal in France. The Maison du Cerf organizes evenings between mid-September and mid-October, including a visit to the museum and an outing to listen to the bellowing of the deer for people over 12 years old. The hoarse calls of the big deer, the noise, the atmosphere between dog and wolf and the experience of the animal kingdom itself make these outings unforgettable. At dawn and at dusk, two moments as mysterious as each other, and even if everything seems to oppose them, these are nevertheless the two moments that the stag favors to bellow.
The commune of Villeny has beautiful communal paths to walk in the forest. You will find at your disposal brochures with the pedestrian circuits. But the stag remains a wild animal, so it is by definition difficult to observe because it is afraid of humans. To have the chance to see it, you will have to remain discrete, to privilege morning or evening hours, but also to have a good dose of luck.
