dessiedog Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I have heard, 2nd / 3rd hand, that dogs are not allowed in French National Parks, even on a lead.Can anyone confirm whether this is correct? If access is allowed, is a lead necessary at all times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pads Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Does that mean the people who live there cant have dogs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 [quote user="Pads"]Does that mean the people who live there cant have dogs ? [/quote]No, it doesn't mean that. The ref given by Christine Animal is a summary for visitors. You can live within the parc boundary with pets, but they can't go out and about into the heart of the parc even on a lead. Each parc has detailed rules regarding working farm dogs and hunting dogs, and when (as in which season) and where they can go.Access for assistance dogs (guide dogs etc) is also limited, assistance dog owners are advised to contact the management of the parc concerned for detailed info. before they visit.In regional parcs and nature reserves you need to check out local signs before going walkies with your canine companions.
