Discover a wildlife park in the heart of the forest, entirely dedicated to wolves.
The Maison des Loups opens on April 12!
The park is open daily for groups.

For the first time, the park opens its doors during the winter!
Join our guided tours to discover the secrets of this emblematic animal. Accompanied by our passionate guide, explore the park behind the scenes and meet our 5 wolf packs. Learn more about their behavior, their crucial role in the ecosystem and the specifics of each subspecies represented. An enriching, immersive experience for young and old alike, that will help you better understand and appreciate these magnificent predators.

Spring to Autumn:
In an unspoilt natural environment, you can observe wolf packs from Europe, Poland, Canada and the Arctic. And to get to know them better, come along to their feeding!
Welcomed at La maison des loups in the ticket office building, you'll have independent access to the animal park located in the forest...
Visits last from 2 hours to a full day.

Over 5 hectares of forest at the heart of the Orlu National Wildlife Reserve, where you can get to know the park's different packs of twenty-five wolves.
To get to know them better, we advise you to listen to the carers' comments during feeding sessions (around 2 or 3 feedings a day / see schedule below). You'll get to know the new Mackenzie-type Canadian wolf family at a feeding or in the viewing tunnel.

The visit continues with the mini-farm next to the trout pond.
Young and old alike will be delighted to see the 3 little pigs, sit on the tractor, stroke Mr. Seguin's goat, meet the rabbits including the Géant des Flandres (largest rabbit), observe the hens, roosters, guinea pigs and baby chicks... A timed track lets you find out if you're running faster than the Wolf!

The Maison des Loups also offers a range of activities in the park:
- an auditorium,
- a storytelling square
- an archaeological workshop,
- a gold-digging experience,
- trails: ornithological to discover local birds, and barefoot to activate your senses.
