An immersive experience in the monkey forest

This concept, created in 1969, allows visitors to discover the natural behaviour of this fascinating species without cages or barriers :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.
Observe, understand, raise awareness
The report highlights one of the park’s core principles: encouraging visitors to observe natural behaviours. Social interactions, hierarchy, communication and daily life can all be observed throughout the visit :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.
Guided feeding sessions also provide valuable insights into the species, its diet and its way of life.
A commitment to conservation
Beyond the visitor experience, La Montagne des Singes plays an active role in raising awareness and protecting the Barbary macaque, a species currently endangered with fewer than 8,000 individuals remaining in the wild :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}.
Through educational and scientific actions, the park contributes to a better understanding and preservation of the species.
A nature experience like no other
This report perfectly reflects the essence of La Montagne des Singes: an immersive visit, close to nature, where observation and understanding of wildlife take center stage.
