We have been offering wildlife holidays in the French Pyrenees since 1987. Each week we offer a programme of gentle wildlife walks, knowing the area so well we can combine the very best scenery with the very best spots for wildlife, our local experience tells us exactly where to go, whatever the season!
Guided wildlife walks €30 / day, transport included.

We are privileged to work each year with both the leading botanist and ornithologist from the Parc National des Pyrenees for our specialist bird and flower weeks, their experience of over forty year's of professional observation and study is unequalled. In general late May to the end of July are the best times for the wildlife, but there is something to see whatever the month. Do please contact us personally, we will be happy to offer detailed information, send species lists and offer lots of good advice.
