This project
has for objective to build an animal reservation north of the department
of the Alpes-Maritimes on 350 hectares of land. Animals such as european
bisons, reindeers, elks and Prévalsky horses will be able to
live at liberty and the public can admire them from open carriages,
which will be provided to transport them around the park. The Maison
de la Forêt (the forest house), an 80 meters long bird shaped
construction, is the public's reception center. Supported on piles it
spans a river by means of its 25 meter-long arches.

Footbridges
provide easy access. The north side of the building, with few openings,
contrasts sharply with the south, where numerous large openings give
out to the surrounding awe-inspiring landscape. About 30 horses will
be sheltered by the stables, which will also serve as stockage for the
carriages. These two constructions will be built using locally grown
wood, in order to develop and revive the economy of the highlands.
