Forêt des singes de Rocamadour, Primate conservation park in Rocamadour, France
The Forest of Monkeys is a primate park in Rocamadour where Barbary macaques live freely across a large wooded area. The space is designed to let the animals move around naturally within open forest sections.
The park was established in the 1970s to protect Barbary macaques in a natural setting. It became one of the most visited attractions in the Lot region over time.
The park lets visitors watch the macaques in their daily routines and natural behaviors up close. You observe how they interact with each other, find food, and move through the forest just as they would in the wild.
You walk through marked paths to move between different forest sections. Comfortable shoes and time to move slowly help you see the macaques properly in their surroundings.
The Barbary macaques here represent one of the last protected populations of an endangered species. The park focuses on conservation work to keep this rare primate from disappearing.
