- Aimie1 contributionwonderful birds and men!Pleasantly surprised by the ethics of the falconers! An ethic and a vision of things that seems fundamental to me today, based on respect, the well-being of birds, listening to them and mutual trust. I had a great time with them, despite the weather. I'm sharing some photos, taken so far. Aimie Kasztelan (with annoying grandpa) :)Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten 19 May 2024
- batistou34Serignan, France25 contributionsExciting passionate falconersThe visit of the aure eagles is a nice, surprise. Few birds but explanation panels for each of the birds presented. An animator at the top, falconers who give throughout the show and share their passion. Here you are as close as possible to birds and nature. Totally different from the bird shows I rarely see in other large parks but so much more rewardingVisited July 2024Travelled with familyWritten 19 July 2024
- Jess Jeremy D24 contributionsPleasantly surprised, To do!The visit of the aviary and its educational show is a stopover to do around Arreau. The small visit is very interesting, it is done as close as possible to the birds. The show is very informative, the team is very generous. Very good time with the family and Arreau wants to stop there.Visited August 2024Travelled with familyWritten 12 August 2024
- bogaga22 contributionsWe loved it.Real good. You can feel kindness towards animals. We were shown a raptor in training and this is the first time I've seen this. The explanations are clear. The show is organized according to the mood of the birds and that I find top. A big bravo to the whole team and of course to the different raptors who are real artists and athletes!Visited August 2024Travelled with familyWritten 18 August 2024

Great experience. In summer the shows are at 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. You have to be there 30 minutes before because on the hiking trail that leads to the show, there is a presentation of birds of prey. During the show you have 2 show points and it lasts approx. 1h30 (depending on the wishes of the animals, it remains live and living beings so the shows are never the same). We loved the presentation of the host and the work of the trainers as well as the respect and love of animals! To do again 😊

A great time getting up close to the birds for 2 hours. It begins with a walk along the habitats of the numerous birds, then we arrive at the place where the show takes place. The 2 trainers are top notch, very professional, very close to the birds they really love, sharing with ease. Very informative. We have adored. Very reasonable price as well as the souvenir shop. A must-do for the enjoyment of young and old alike!

This spaces cares for wounded birds and re-releases or raises & keeps permanently disabled birds. A surprisingly large variety of raptors.
The chance to develop a love of birds and appreciate them close-up is a valuable first step in allowing our children to reconnect to nature. This Attraction is educational and valuable from this perspective. However I would like to see the birds given Much longer ropes for the 22hours per day the tourists are not present.
Plus flying time every day, for every bird. Or much larger cages for those not let out at all.

Very interesting and well explained! They really show and explain to us how important a loving bird to trainer relationship is and how much they care for them. The trainers are very passionate and you can really see the love they have for their birds. Very detailed show lasting about 1h30, we see many birds and saw the training process. It was fascinating to hear the explanations that went along with their training and the birds themselves. Very nice people! Many birds to see, ranging from common to very rare.
Highly recommend! Thank you for such a great show!!!

This is a mess. There are explicit instructions at the tourist office listing trails 4 and 5. Yet these trails and trail heads are marked with forestry numbers..15 & 16!

Apparently your opinion concerns hiking trails and not "Les Aigles d'Aure - Volerie des Pyrénées" ...

Great site. At some point the sky filled with different eagles and birds. Impressive and a unique chance to see these magnificient birds up and close. The aviary is situated on top of a hill so be ready to walk (pushchairs and wheelchair will have trouble going up). There are also some electrical power lines just above...not sure if this is safe for everyone. This said, the explanations were very interesting but for philistines like us a summarize printing would have been great. Highly recommended.

We visited with our 18 months old son. After a short but steep walk you join the top of the mountain. You can watch already the birds from close. Then the demonstration is 1h long. Very educative and interesting for all age. Our son was hypnotised.

This visit remains as an incredible moment, combining a proximity with the birds as never experienced, the vast knowledge and humor of our guide. And a fantastic scenery. Do not miss it if you pass by in Vallee d Aure

Beautiful natural setting of the High Pyrenees. Very interesting visit. The explanations are well given for each variety of birds. The show is very nice, flying above the spectators.

Hello, We taking a slow travel through south France. We like old medieval villages and nice natural views. Should we pass through arreau? Spend some time there? any places we should add to our itinerary in the Pyrenees?

Les aigles d'Aure
Arreau, France
Hello, we give you here some informations (which will depend on your availibilities, time and season (weather)
On your way down to the french Pyrenees, you should see FOURCES (Gers), SAINT-BERTRAND de Comminges (Haute-Garonne), MIREPOIS (Ariège), and, of course CARCASSONNE (AUDE). In Aude also, a lot of old extraordinary castles (châteaux Cathares) and the impressive gorges of Galamus.
Not far from ARREAU, we have the Néouvielle Réserve, on the right on the road towards Spain. Magnificent natural site, but not accessible during winter (because of the snow, take advices from tourism agencies).
On the spanish side of Pyrenées, through ARREAU, and the ARAGNOUET- BIELSA tunnel, for example, you could enjoy the old city of AINSA, and wild mountain landscapes around. Farther west, alwails in Spain, you have to see the surprising "Arizona-like" red cliffes of RIGLOS... , with near the magnificent castle of LOARRE. And farther, farther west the "hoz de ARBAYUN" (ARBAYUN big gorges)
With the hope that this answer will not be too late, have a good trip !
