Enclos à cigognes, Stork sanctuary in Rouffach, France

The Enclos à cigognes features multiple enclosures where white storks reside, offering visitors direct observation opportunities of these large migratory birds throughout the year.

During the 1960s and 1970s, stork populations in France faced near extinction, leading to the establishment of this conservation center in the Alsace region.

The center maintains feeding sessions at specific times, allowing visitors to learn about stork behaviors while maintaining traditional connections to Alsatian wildlife.

Visitors can access the stork park freely at any time, with guided feeding sessions occurring at 5 PM in summer and 4 PM in winter.

The facility supports a reintroduction program where storks build nests reaching 1.4 meters in diameter and weighing up to 500 kilograms.
