Welcome to Parc de Launay, an ancient estate situated in the beautiful Loire Valley in central France. The park surrounds the grounds of a 16th century Château and wild boar have been hunted on the land for many centuries. English owned and run for the past six years, the estate provides a unique experience, combining the finest traditions of French boar hunting with unparalleled levels of service and comfort.
The boar on the estate are descended from ancient bloodlines and are managed in a truly sustainable way, which maintains their pure status and outstanding wild characteristics. We hunt in a traditional manner, using hounds that, like the boar, have bloodlines going back many generations. Typically the huntsman will identify a suitable boar to be shot which will then be separated from the sounder (group) by the hounds. Each hunter will have the opportunity to shoot at least one boar per hunt day.
We believe we provide a unique service to our clients: a personal touch that ensures hunters see every detail of the hunt, from moving people around the estate on mini safaris to tracking a particularly cunning boar or watching the hounds at work. We pride ourselves on providing outstanding quality of service and superb and exhilarating hunting. We consistently achieve guaranteed numbers on driven days and are able to offer a limited number of exclusive private hunts for groups or syndicates.
Whilst we do not guarantee specific weights or sizes of quarry we shoot only extremely fine specimens and our clients frequently have their trophies mounted.
We hunt boar from the beginning of October until the end of February and can tailor a package to meet your specific requirements. Any quote provided will give you a complete breakdown of your day's hunting with no hidden extras.
A trip to Parc de Launay is an experience to be treasured, not only because of the spectacular sport, but also because of the immense enjoyment gained from spending a day in the beautiful Loire Valley, hunting a truly wild animal in its natural habitat and enjoying French hospitality of the very highest standard.
We look forward to sharing this experience with you.
