Parc à cigognes, Stork park and petting zoo in Ensisheim, France
Description
Parc à Cigognes is a petting zoo and animal park in Ensisheim that spreads across green land where white storks nest and farm animals live alongside each other. Paths wind through different areas with playgrounds and spots where you can sit and eat with your family.
History
The park was created to protect white storks, which nearly vanished from this region during the 1900s. Today it plays a role in reintroduction programs that bring these birds back to the Alsatian landscape.
Culture
White storks carry deep meaning in Alsatian culture, and this place lets visitors understand their importance to the region through direct observation. You can see how the animals live in a space shaped by their local significance.
Practical
The park is free to enter year-round and has well-kept paths that are easy to walk throughout. You can move through it comfortably with children and strollers, and signs help you find your way around.
Did you know?
The park lets visitors watch storks actually building nests and raising their young, which is especially striking during breeding season. This closeness to the birds makes it possible to see their daily life and behavior up close.
