La Dame Blanche is an association with a doublel vocation, for not only does it look after the animal park, but it also coordinates a centre for the preservation of Europe’s wild fauna. The centre welcomes, cares for and rehabilitates wounded animals, before returning them to their natural habitat. The animal park extends a truly warm welcome to all visitors. Take the time to pay us a visit. Your visit can also help to fund the association’s action. Goats, foxes, wild boar, badgers, deer, fallow deer, peacocks and a range of pet animals from Normandy and elsewhere (llamas, alpagas, exotic birds) also thrive here, in perfect harmony. Unfit for release, for disabled or too tame to return to the wild, some animals have also decided to stay within this comfortable and peaceful environment.
