PARK LES LOUPS DU GÉVAUDAN
Go there and contact
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.

A tous ceux qui disent ne pas voir les loups. Vous voulez voir les loups : taisez vous. Dès qu'ils entendent des personnes parler, ils s'en vont au fond du parc. Et ne reviennent que s'ils n'entendent plus rien.
Le gite avec vue dans le parc des loups gris était une pure merveille. Voir et photographier les loups loups pendant des heures. Ils jouent courent, dorment à quelques mètres seulement (voir mes photos plus loin). Et de 18h jusqu'au coucher du soleil, c'est un bonheur absolu.
PS: Pour le guide, il serait bon d'arrêter de propager la théorie erronée des couples alpha beta, omega. L'auteur de cette théorie de 1970, David Mech, a lui même publié un article en 1999 pour s'excuser de son "énorme erreur".
Il n'y a pas de chef dans une meute de loups !
Pas de dominants ou de dominés.
La meute dans la nature est une famille.
Le parc est petit, les toilettes étaient très sales, la serveuse du snack très désagréable. Heureusement qu'il y a des jeux pour enfants la visite est très rapide pour le prix.
