Yesterday, we had planned to go to l'Ile d'Oléron, where Fort Boyard is, but when I learned that it's a 3h30-drive away and that it would be a pretty cloudy day, I suggested that we go somewhere a little closer. We looked up things to do in our region. There are castles to visit, horse-back riding, and different forests to walk through but none of them really seemed appropriate. We did find a place near Guéret, a forest where we can watch wolves in captivity. They have different breeds, namely Italian, Belgian, and Tchecoslovaquian breeds. They also have the Alberta Black wolf and the Canadian Arctic wolf.
The last remaining wolf of french soil was slaughtered in 1940. Now the parc near Guéret is making efforts to reinstate the wolf in France, albeit in captivity. Otherwise, the sheep breeders nearby wouldn't be too happy.
