    A truly lovely educational farm to visit, perfect for both children and adults. The welcome is very friendly and the route is well-designed. A great time to be had with the family on the island. In my opinion, this farm is unique in the area with its easy access to the donkeys and, of course, the pigs 😅. Thank you for this wonderful morning!

    A wonderful family visit with Bérénice. She's engaging and passionate, and she knows how to share her love of animals in a very engaging way. The farm is very well-maintained and pleasant. We highly recommend it.
