Come let's listen to the deer roar!

The end of summer coincides with the beginning of the courtship of the stags who cry out at nightfall and fight to keep their place as the dominant male. This is an opportunity for nature lovers to stroll through the forest to attend this show which only takes place once a year.

3 hours of activity around the deer with the family

Being able to listen to the slab of the deer and hear them fight to win the favors of the deer, this is what the Parc de Boutissaint offers in Yonne, near the town of Treigny. Only 1h30 from Paris, the Burgundian animal park organizes evenings every Saturday in September to discover the roar of the deer. For 3 hours, wildlife lovers are invited to participate in this annual sound show, while keeping their distance, so as not to disturb the deer. It is especially to hear their powerful cry and their antlers clash during their fights. Each deer gathers deer around him to reign over a pack, defending his place, the other deer are then hunted and then face the dominant male to be able to conquer deer too.

Local products and discovery of deer

With 40 deer, the Boutissaint animal park has the largest population of deer in France in semi-freedom, but also wild boar, roe deer, etc. The park offers for these evenings, a meal with local products to immerse yourself completely in the region before being informed about the deer and their slab, and starting the two-hour walk in the animal park of Boutissaint.
