After the fires and heats this summer, the hunting season starts this Sunday in the majority of the country in a climate of tension between ecologists, who want to postpone it to protect wildlife, and hunters who deplore a vision far from their reality and defend their practice.
The hunting season begins on Sunday 13 September for the southern half of France. Unrestricted opening with the exception of burned areas. In many parts of the territory, however, wildlife has suffered from heat, as well as from lack of water and food.
The general opening of the hunt this Sunday, September 13, 2026 does not mean that the rules are the same everywhere. Example in Lozère.
