About
Les Loups du Gévaudan, situated in the picturesque village of Sainte-Lucie in Lozère, is the largest wolf park in Europe and offers visitors the unique opportunity to observe gray, white and arctic wolf subspecies in a natural and protected setting. The park combines guided tours, interactive educational activities, themed events such as night‑time wolf encounters, and dedicated areas where visitors can observe the wolves from close range. With a rich network of walking trails, observation points, and a play zone for children, the park is designed for both educational and family-friendly experiences. Daytime visits feature a one‑hour guided tour with professional keepers explaining wolf biology, social behavior, and conservation efforts. Visitors can also attend “point rencontres” for Q&A sessions, enjoy dedicated feeding moments, and explore themed exhibitions that showcase the wolves’ habitats and the surrounding flora. In summer, special nocturnal tours offer an immersive experience in the evening, complete with lanterns and guided storytelling. In addition to wildlife encounters, the park hosts educational programs for school groups, corporate team‑building events, and wedding or celebratory gatherings in the nearby Grange de Sainte‑Lucie.
