Le Donjon des Aigles
Watch more than a hundred raptors, including Andean condors and bald eagles, fly freely over the ruins of a medieval castle, with the Arrens valley as the backdrop.
This castle ruin in the village of Beaucens is home to over a hundred birds of prey from around the world. During the daily afternoon flight show, Andean condors, bald eagles and others swoop over the heads of the audience, with the Arrens valley and the mountains behind them. The show lasts about an hour, and admission is about €18. Suitable for families, and about 20 km from Lourdes.
