In February, Parc de Sainte-Croix invites you to discover a natural spectacle as rare as it is fascinating: the mating season. At this time of year, nature reveals all its strength and sensitivity. Elegant parades, powerful songs, games of seduction and close encounters punctuate the life of the species in an authentic winter setting.
On immersive walks through the park’s wide-open spaces, observe the emblematic behaviors of this key period in the animal life cycle. Guided by the peaceful ambience of the forest and the energy of the living, you’ll learn to recognize the rituals specific to each species and understand their essential role in the preservation of populations. This immersion allows you to approach European wildlife in privileged conditions, as close as possible to its instincts and social interactions.
This experience is for all nature lovers who want to experience something different, away from the everyday. With family or friends, you’ll share an educational, sensitive and enriching discovery. To observe the mating season is to understand the complexity of the wild world and appreciate the beauty of its balance.
Book your visit to the Parc de Sainte-Croix and let yourself be carried away by the intensity and poetry of the mating season in Eastern France.
