France is known for its delicious food and wines, great art and architecture and celebrated culture of all kinds. But there’s another side to this popular destination that is not as visible – its wild side. Journey through Wild France with Animal Planet HD World’s fascinating new series and observe life in Europe’s typical ecosystems.
Travel through the country where the rich, fertile and well-watered soil has given birth to an exceptional wildlife. Deep in the French countryside, it is possible for the adventurous to spot brown bears, wild boar, griffon vultures or wolves. These are among the creatures getting the chance and space to regain their old hunting grounds in France’s many mountains, valleys and forests.
Presenting the highest-quality footage ever seen, Wild France will air every Thursday at 9 PM, starting January 21 on Animal Planet HD World.
