Mount Faron Zoo Fauverie

Created in 1968, this wildcat breeding center is the only one of its kind in France. It ensures the survival of endangered species.

The Fauverie du Mont Faron is not a conventional zoo, but a carnivore breeding center specializing in felines that are critically endangered: tigers, lions, leopards, jaguars, ocelots, servals, caracals, lynx, Siberian cats, and marsh cats—as well as wolves, brown and striped hyenas, raccoons, and hamadryas baboons—await you for a visit lasting over an hour.

In the event of a severe or extreme red fire risk, the road, the cable car, and the shops at Mont-Faron will be closed.
