    • Located in the commune of St Georges d'Oléron , La Ferme aux Ânes is a place to discover with family or friends.
      From self-guided tours during the day to guided tours at sunset, including donkey rides or walks with a donkey, or even family activities (which can also be done with friends!) or the Donkey Club, all our activities are adapted to the different audiences we welcome.

      From the annual pension, sponsorship, through to welcoming the disabled public, free visits to the educational farm and beach cleaning assisted by donkeys, this structure promotes the donkey species in all its virtues on a daily basis.

      A shop with donkey milk soaps (present at 40%), body lotion, hand cream as well as tasty treats with donkey milk caramels and lollipops, in partnership with the Asinerie des Varennes (La Rochelle).

      A refreshment area with lemonades from the Bullerie d'Oléron will complete your visit.


      Sunset Guided Tour

      Come enjoy a guided tour of the farm at sunset and immerse yourself in the peaceful and authentic world of our animal parks. Accompanied by our host, you'll discover the secrets of our farm and its inhabitants in a serene atmosphere.

    Déçu de la « ferme pédagogique » qui n en porte que le nom, très peu d animaux et pas toujours visible. Seul moment chouette, possibilité de donner des fruits à un des deux cochons. Balade sur dos d âne très courte. (Environ 10 min) Sortie à 22e pour 2 adultes et 1 enfant.

    A perfect little break for kids (and adults) to get away from the beach. We really appreciated the varied information available, as well as the passion for donkeys that drives the owners and staff of this place. Of course, the little ride on Jargon (the donkey) rounded off the experience beautifully. Special mention goes to the two Gascon pigs, who were a real sensation ♥️.
