About Les Maitres du Ciel - Fauconnerie en Vendee
Les Maitres du Ciel is a falconry centre at Le Moulin de Charin in La Pommeraie-sur-Sevre, Vendee, fifteen minutes from the Puy du Fou. It is built around a falconry ground with free-flight demonstrations and teaching workshops rather than a walk-through collection: visitors meet the birds, learn how they live and where they sit in the ecosystem, and a half-day initiation from age eleven puts them in the field with the falconer.
Sessions are also run for schools, conservation associations, specialist care centres and works councils, and are sold as gift vouchers.
Visitors can park in the designated parking areas near the entrance of the zoo. Parking is paid, so be sure to bring cash or a credit card to cover the fee. Arriving early is recommended to secure a good spot, especially during peak visiting times.
