Espace Faune de la Forêt d’Orient

Présentation

On a 50-hectare peninsula on the shores of Lac d’Orient, between Mesnil-Saint-Père and the Maison du Parc, the Espace Faune invites you on a journey through time, to meet the large mammals that once inhabited our forests and those that still live there today. Majestic deer, discreet roe deer, burrowing wild boars, but also aurochs, elk and Przewalski’s horses roam here in semi-freedom in their natural habitat.

From the observatories on the edge of the woods, arm yourself with patience and silence to observe these fascinating animals, particularly visible at the end of the day. But the experience doesn’t stop there: also explore the wealth of local fauna and flora, from the little people of the educational pond to the birds of the nature reserve.

A unique site, accessible to all (labeled Tourism & Handicap), where nature and history intertwine for an unforgettable immersion in the heart of the Forêt d’Orient Regional Natural Park!
