Big Game in France Minimize

France has enjoyed over two thousand years of hunting history.  There are many species of wild animals and 95% of the hunting takes place in free ranging areas.  There are also some fenced areas from 1,000 to 7,000 acres.  We organize hunts in France to stalk European Red Deer, European Roe Deer, European Fallow Deer, and Wild boar.  Our hunting area is from 50 to 150 km from Paris.

For your entire stay, you will have an English speaking member as your guide.  In addition to the hunting, you and your possible companion would be well placed to take advantage of all the opportunities Paris has to offer.  Alternatively, there may be other things you might like to see or do while in France.  Our Paris office would be more than happy to be of assistance.
