Maison des Vautours, Vulture observation center in Saint-Pierre-des-Tripiers, France
The center occupies a three-level structure integrated into the cliffs of Gorges de la Jonte, offering multiple viewing points for bird observation.
The facility emerged from a conservation initiative in response to declining vulture populations in the Lozère region during the late twentieth century.
Through educational programs and exhibitions, the center promotes understanding of vulture species and their essential role in maintaining ecological balance.
Visitors can access the center from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00, with admission fees of 7.50 euros for adults and 5.50 euros for children.
The center features strategically placed cameras on nearby cliffs that transmit live footage of vulture colonies to an indoor projection room.
