Shelter rules to ensure everyone's well-being
To ensure the safety of our animals and the comfort of our visitors, we have drawn up a few simple rules to be observed during your stay:
Respect for the enclosures: We ask you not to enter the animals' enclosures without our presence. To enjoy their company, you are invited to observe them through the fences, which contributes to their tranquillity.
No smoking: If you smoke, please do not scatter your cigarette butts on the grounds. This helps keep our natural area clean and prevents fire hazards.
Waste management: We encourage you to take your waste with you at the end of your stay. Containers are available 20 meters from the refuge, by the roadside, for easy disposal.
By following these guidelines, you are helping to preserve the safe and healthy environment of our shelter for all our visitors and animal residents. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
