PARK LES LOUPS DU GÉVAUDAN
Park dedicated to the wolf since 1985 in Saint-Léger, one of the most touristic places in Lozère, guided tours proposed.
This area, which has been entirely dedicated to the wolf since 1985 (on the initiative of wildlife journalist Gérard Ménatory), is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. Covering 25 hectares, it has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Lozère, and is home to over a hundred wolves, representing all five subspecies. To put it simply, it's Europe's biggest park dedicated to wolves, and in 40 years it's undergone a great deal of evolution and innovation. To fully immerse yourself, we advise you to visit the park in different seasons: the atmosphere and behavior of the wolf are never the same depending on the period. Let's face it, this park has a real charm under the snow, especially if you want to observe the newly-arrived Arctic wolves and admire the beauty of their fur.
The visit includes a museographic area devoted to wolf myths and legends, including that of the Beast of Gévaudan, as well as the particularities of the species and current events. The park also features a children's area with a drawing workshop. During guided tours, you'll learn all about wolf ethology. Feeding time, at the end of the afternoon three times a week, is impressive.
Activities are diversifying, with night-time visits at dusk, a perfect time to listen to howls, a virtual tour of Europe's fauna (with RV headset) and a raptor animation organized by Griffondor falconry.
As the ultimate luxury, you can spend the night in the "Tanières du Gévaudan": 4 atypical accommodations to get up close and personal with a pack.

Et petit plus, étant arrivés la veille, nous avons dormi en camping-car sur le terrain communal derrière le parc, ce qui permet d'entendre les hurlements des loups le soir : insolite!
Il est possible de visiter en indépendant ou de se joindre à une visite guidée.
Tout le long du sentier il y a des panneaux explicatifs qui renseignent sur les différentes espèces du parc. Pour avoir plus de détails il est préférable de suivre un guide. Selon l'heure de la journée les animaux peuvent être plus ou moins discrets, mais on n'est jamais bredouille. Des promontoires placés à plusieurs endroits permettent de s'affranchir de la vue à travers les grillages de protection.
Notre guide Sylvain est une encyclopédie vivante qu'on regrette de devoir quitter.
ça coute 32 € pour un adulte avec le billet combiné des " Bison de la Margeride".
