Donjon des aigles

Located in a medieval castle in the Hautes-Pyrenees, the Donjon des Aigles houses kites, vultures, eagles, falcons, buzzards, and colorful parrots during summer months.

The stone castle of Beaucens, dating from the 11th century, transformed into a bird sanctuary dedicated to the conservation and display of birds of prey.

The daily raptor flight demonstrations showcase traditional French falconry techniques while educating visitors about the importance of bird conservation in the Pyrenees.

Visitors can access the sanctuary from April through September, with shows scheduled multiple times per day and convenient parking facilities near the entrance.

The birds perform free-flight demonstrations against the backdrop of mountain peaks, allowing visitors to observe natural hunting and flying behaviors up close.
