Maison des vautours, Wildlife museum in Saint-Pierre-des-Tripiers, France.
The ornithological museum occupies 500 square meters of space with modern video systems that monitor vulture colonies in the Jonte gorges through strategically positioned cameras.
The museum records and documents the natural presence of vultures in the Jonte gorges, which dates back thousands of years before their systematic reintroduction to the region.
Educational programs at the museum contribute to local environmental protection by teaching visitors about vulture behavior, biology, and their vital role in the ecosystem.
The museum welcomes visitors from April through November, with summer hours extending from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM and adult admission priced at 7.50 euros.
An observation deck equipped with specialized telescopes enables visitors to watch vultures soaring below their vantage point in the natural rock formations.
