Musee La Maison des Abeilles, Rocamadour. Up to half a million bees live here behind glass. The display is an astonishing living exhibition of the the life of the domestic bee and the work of the bee-keeper.
Our favorite wildlife park to visit is Rocher des Aigles, also located in Rocamadour. Plan to attend the one of the daily shows of large Birds of Prey performing over the cliff. Up close, personal and outstanding!!! In front of your eyes and in the sky above you the birds will perform their nature show to inform, surprise and entertain you. It is organized around a multitude of symbolic scenes: the acrobatics of the Kites, the fishing Eagles, the resourceful Vultures, the fast Falcon, the perching Chimangos, the walking of Dudule, and the skydiving back to the perch. At the same time, instructive and entertaining, the initiation of the knowledge of birds of prey is the heart of the live show to make you live a magic moment.
