Parc animalier de Sainte-Croix, Wildlife park in Rhodes, France

Parc animalier de Sainte-Croix is a wildlife park near Rhodes with large natural areas designed for European animals. The grounds feature different zones where visitors can watch wolves, bears, deer, and other species roaming in open spaces.

The park opened in 1980 and grew from a small local project into a major center for European wildlife. Over time it became known for its work protecting and breeding endangered animal species.

The park teaches visitors about European wildlife and nature protection through guided tours and exhibitions you can explore. These programs help people understand how animals live and why they need our help.

The park has accessible paths throughout so all visitors can move around easily and see the animals. It's best to arrive early in the day when the animals are most active and it's less crowded.

Visitors can stay overnight in nature lodges scattered around the park and watch wolves and bears from their rooms. This rare experience allows you to observe animals in a way most people never get to do.

Hidden places of Grand Est: medieval forts, Renaissance castles and forgotten abbeys

The Grand Est displays a rich architectural and military heritage, from fortified structures like the Fort of Mutzig and the La Ferté ouvrage on the Maginot Line, to princely residences such as Château de Lunéville with its French gardens. The region also preserves religious sites like the Abbey of Sturzelbronn in the Vosges forests and the Jesuit College in Reims, founded in the early 17th century. Urban centers feature notable architectural complexes: the Kammerzell House in Strasbourg exemplifies 15th-century Alsatian half-timbered construction, while the Ducal Square in Charleville-Mézières reflects Renaissance urban planning. The Humanist Library in Sélestat holds over 150 medieval manuscripts and ancient books. Technical sites like the old Chappe telegraph tower in Saverne recall early communication history before the electric era. Historic parks, including that of Château de Pange with geometric gardens and stone bridges, offer pathways through centuries of landscape design.
