When we were <a href="/canada/">travelling in Canada</a>, we spent 5 hours in the Zoo Sauvage de Saint-Félicien. I'm not a great lover of zoos, but this one is different because it has a nature reserve housing numerous North-American animal species. Here, the animals aren't kept in cages, but the people are! You travel through the reserve in a train protected by metal grilles on the windows. On the way, we saw the different natural environments of Canada passing before our eyes: from the tundra to the northern forest of the Taiga Cordillera, via leafy pinewoods and vast prairies. Then we explored the zoo on foot through all the different areas, from the Arctic to Asia, from mixed forest to Mongolia, discovering the flora and fauna native to each of them. We also saw some of the animals being fed, such as the Japanese macaques, the tigers, lynx, grizzly bears and polar bears, accompanied by the explanations of the guide.

Saint-Félicien is a city that's famous for its 'Zoo Sauvage', an unmissable sight where you can explore the diversity of flora and fauna.

The "Zoo Sauvage" - the "wild zoo" wildlife park in Saint Félicien is certainly the region's foremost attraction, but unfortunately I didn't get the chance to visit, so it would be difficult for me to comment on it. Personally, I really enjoyed my visit to the dairy at "La Ferme des Chutes" - "Waterfall Farm" in English - where cheese and yoghurt are made, as well as the village brewery and the "La Chouape Brewing Co." microbrewery. I'd like to thank my good friend Geneviève for being so passionate about introducing me to the town - as well as the surrounding areas, each of which seems more delightful than the last. If I'd had more time to explore the area, I'd love to have explored the town and the surrounding area by bike on the "Veloroute des Bleuets" - a network of cycle paths. In addition, going to Saint-Félicien in early August means that you can attend the region's largest sporting event, one which is <a href="/canada/">unique in Canada:</a> - hydroplane racing on Lake-Saint-Jean. It's definitely something to do on my next visit.
