15 minutes (13 km) from Camping La Plage in Meyronne, Le Rocher des Aigles in Rocamadour is an essential outing to see birds of prey and parrots in a spectacular setting, above the canyon.
Created in 1977, the park offers free-flight presentations where eagles, vultures, falcons, and owls provide a real “wow” moment, while remaining educational thanks to the handlers. As a committed eco-park, the site also emphasizes an approach focused on conservation and animal welfare, for a visit that is both moving and meaningful.
Discover the Park
Le Rocher des Aigles is an iconic bird park in Rocamadour, dedicated to birds of prey and parrots, set in a spectacular natural setting on the edge of the canyon. The site is home to over 300 birds representing around 60 species, allowing you to observe great diversity: eagles, vultures, falcons, condors, as well as owls and barn owls, not to mention the brightly colored macaws and cockatoos. The visit unfolds as a progressive discovery: you move from observation areas to viewpoints, with information to better understand the lifestyle, power, and adaptation of these birds.
Free-Flight Shows
The highlight is the free-flight presentations, designed to see the birds soar with all their power, as in their natural habitat. From the stands, you watch the birds of prey take flight above the site, skim the cliffs, and return to land nearby, while the handlers comment on the species, their behaviors, and conservation issues.
A Committed Eco-Park
Le Rocher des Aigles presents itself as an eco-park: here, the park is both a living space and a visitor attraction. The goal is not just to “display” birds, but to conserve and protect species (some of which are threatened), while raising public awareness. Official tourism information specifies that the site upholds ethics that respect the biology of the birds and animal welfare.
