Le rocher des aigles, Bird sanctuary in Rocamadour, France.
Le rocher des aigles is a bird sanctuary in Rocamadour that houses over 400 birds representing about 60 different species, including eagles, vultures, condors, falcons, and various parrots. The facility features a diverse collection of avian species set within an installation overlooking the Rocamadour canyon.
The facility was established in 1977 and has grown into a leading European center for the protection and breeding of endangered bird species. Since its founding, the park has focused on conservation efforts for raptors and other threatened species.
The daily flight demonstrations showcase the natural behaviors and hunting techniques of different raptor species presented by experienced falconers. Visitors can watch these birds use their instinctive abilities in action.
The park operates from April through September with four daily shows during peak season. Visitors should allow adequate time to experience both the facilities and the flight demonstrations fully.
One memorable experience is watching birds fly freely above the Rocamadour canyon, with some demonstrations featuring multiple species soaring together. These flight scenes set against the dramatic gorge backdrop create unforgettable moments for visitors.
