Rocher des Aigles
About
Nestled in the heart of the Parc naturel régional des causses du Quercy, the Rocher des Aigles offers an immersive bird‑watching experience where visitors can explore free‑flying raptors, vibrant parrots and nocturnal owls in a setting that respects their natural habits. Guided tours describe the instinctive flight patterns of eagles, falcons and other birds of prey, while interactive exhibits highlight conservation efforts and the challenges of re‑introducing endangered species. Whether you’re watching a dramatic noon flight of a golden eagle or enjoying the playful chatter of parrots in the afternoon, each visit is both visually spectacular and educational. The park encourages family visits, school trips, and wildlife enthusiasts alike, providing a hands‑on learning environment about animal behavior, ecological preservation, and the importance of protecting diverse habitats. Tickets are sold at the entrance and for special events, such as the “Journée Découverte” discovery day. 2025 discovery day tickets are priced at €110 per person for the balanced package, and €120 per person if lunch is included. Reservations can be made online via the official website, though walk‑in admission is also available for most days. Guests can also visit the nocturnal aviary, where owls and other night‑flying birds perform after dark, and the stage where daily raptor and parrot shows are held, giving insight into the birds’ natural behaviours in an engaging and respectful way.
