Reserve des Mont d'Azur

Safari park where animals live in their natural habitat

Featured in: Sights & Sites

Come and see bison, deer, horses, boars and hawks roaming on 700 hectares of land, just one hour from the French Riviera

A large animal reserve where over 500 native European breeds can be seen in their natural surroundings.

Enjoy guided walking safari tours, horse drawn wagon rides, or even see the animals at dawn and dusk on an overnight stay in the reserve's on-site accommodation. The reserve also carries out important ecological work with rare species, which you can learn more about at the centre.

Open to the public from 1 March to the first weekend of January. To respect the high ecological standards established by the scientific team, the number of daily visitors is limited and guided visits are preferably booked in advance. Guided safaris start at around 20€, with discount prices for teenagers and children.

Directions

The reserve is in Domaine du Haut-Thorenc; 40 minutes drive from Grasse and just over an hour from Draguignan and Nice.

Upcoming Events

You will not be short of entertainment in this beautiful French Riviera town, especially during the summer. Perhaps the best known of all the events is the highly glamorous Cannes Film Festival – certainly worth a day trip to the city just to see which celebrities you can spot. There are also markets, international fairs and plenty of cultural and musical festivals.
