Guided safari on foot
2h wildlife immersion

Alone or with your family, enjoy a rare experience of communion with wildlife! Change your relationship with the wild by becoming an animal among animals, bound to them by a deep respect.

The La Réserve walking safari, is the only safari in Europe allowing you to observe groups of bison, wild horses, deer, fallow deer, elk or wild boar at suchclose quarters.

Guided by our experts and equipped with your most comfortable footwear, you’ll survey the wooded plains in search of animal clues and observe the complex behaviors of wildlife. No pens, no bars. Between you and them, twenty meters or so and nature as far as the eye can see.

For safety reasons, children under -5 years of age cannot take guided walking safaris, and will have to take a carriage safari, accompanied by parents.

Guided safari in a horse-drawn carriage
1h15 ride through the Reserve

Pulled by two sturdy draft horses, Mulassiers poitevins or Boulonnais, the carriages take routes that differ according to the time and day to follow the movements of the wild animals.

The Reserve is not a zoo and many animal species sometimes remain discreet during rides. But with 700 hectares of nature, no doubt you’ll have plenty to see or discover about biodiversity.

A horse-drawn carriage safari is ideal for youngsters or anyone looking for an enjoyable activity without too much effort. Accompanied by a naturalist guide, come and discover the life of European bison, wild horses, elks, deer, hinds or wild boars…

It is strongly advised to book your safari before coming on site.

A unique experience that our family did yesterday at the Reserve des Monts-Azur. We've seen the wild european buffalos, the deers and the wild horses that originated in Mongolia. This reserve is a 700 hectares with free wild animals roaming around the place without human help. They co-exist in this habitat. I was amazed to see them sooo close! It's a different experience than seeing animals on captivity. I recommend for families visiting this place:-)

Not far from the city, nice drive!
If you’re gonna take a carriage, you can see the animals closer and there’s no need to wear sneakers if you’re not gonna do the promenade.
Carriage: 1 hour
Walking: 1.5-2hrs

This is a great mini safari in the mountains! You can see horses and bisons in the wild. Walking tours or in the carriage. Very beautiful nature and nice staff.
Please note that it is usually cold in the mountains so dress appropriately (long sleeves and trousers are recommended).
You can have a very good lunch at moderate price in the restaurant. Book in advance.
Nice boutique with souvenirs.
Children liked the tour very much.
We did not stay for the night.

Very beautiful reserve with stunning views. You can observe the animals in peace. Don't forget the binoculars! The crepes were very delicious.
Attention for non-French speakers: we had asked before booking if an English-speaking tour guide is available and this was not a problem. Unfortunately, on-site this was limited to just a few sentences and we understood almost nothing. That was very unfortunate!

Where do i start... Amazing place, the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, great fun and spoke excellent English! We booked private carriage tour for our family. We loved seeing all the animals and learning a lot. We went to the restaurant for lunch, they had a great selection including children's menu. The food was beautiful and plentiful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone local or tourists! Thank you
