Forêt des singes de Rocamadour, Primate conservation park in Rocamadour, France
The Forest of Monkeys extends across 20 hectares of natural woodland where 150 Barbary macaques roam freely within designated areas.
The Forest of Monkeys opened its doors in 1974, becoming the second most visited attraction in the Lot department after Padirac Chasm.
The park serves as a research center where scientists conduct behavioral studies on macaque social interactions and communication patterns.
Visitors receive popcorn upon entry to feed the macaques while following the guided nature talks that occur every 45 minutes throughout the day.
The Barbary macaques move unrestricted through the forest, enabling visitors to observe their natural behaviors without barriers or enclosures.
