RESERVE DE BEAUMARCHAIS

What RESERVE DE BEAUMARCHAIS does

RESERVE DE BEAUMARCHAIS is a privately held French SARL operating a 50+ hectare wildlife park and agritourism estate in Autrèche, in the Loire Valley (Centre-Val de Loire region). Founded in 1976 on the acquisition of the Beaumarchais domain and an initial wild boar breeding herd, the company has progressively diversified into large game breeding, public visitation, restaurant operations, and on-site food production. Core activities center on the Safari Train, a guided tour of semi-free-range enclosures housing wild boar, fallow and red deer, bison, Corsican mouflon, ostriches, emus, rheas, and Bennett's wallabies, delivered via two small train vehicles with a film presentation.

The commercial offering combines the paid Safari Train experience with L'Auberge, a seasonal (April–November) farm restaurant serving regional game specialties for lunch service, and a boutique selling homemade charcuterie (rillettes, terrines, hure), ready-cooked civets, fresh and frozen game meat, ostrich and rhea eggs, decorative egg shells, tanned leathers, deer antlers, and live young wallabies. Complementary revenue streams include themed seasonal events (Easter, Mother's Day, Wild Boar Lunch, Deer Rut evenings), a donation-funded nocturnal spectacle, children's birthday parties, and a Safari Pass annual membership (€30 adult / €25.50 child).

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through walk-up ticketing and on-site purchases; there is no e-commerce or online reservation system. Group bookings (20+ persons) are handled by phone and serve schools, medical and accessibility institutions, associations, families, companies, and tour operators at a discounted €7 per person. Distribution is reinforced through logo partnerships with regional tourism entities (Touraine Loire Valley, Amboise Val de Loire, Château d'Amboise, Blois Chambord, Azay Chinon Val de Loire, Autour de Chenonceaux) and earned media via La Nouvelle République, France Bleu Touraine, and review platforms. The company is family-owned under director Jean-Baptiste PARENT, with €180,000 registered capital and 5 employees.
