    • 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 cleaning the beaches 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.


      Donkey ride or walking with the donkey

      An activity to do with family or friends, parents (or grandparents) accompany children from 3 years old (up to 40 kg) by guiding the donkey. The route is safe on a flat course, without pitfalls. The equipment is suitable, we provide riding helmets and we offer you disposable "hairnets".
      Our donkeys are all trained to walk at a walk.
      This will be an opportunity to discover the farm at the donkey's pace.


      The activity lasts 15 minutes on a self-guided circuit.


      Price:

      • 10 € per donkey, per child.

    Everyone should visit this farm! The young woman who runs it deserves a lot of credit, but above all, she has a huge amount of passion and love for her animals! She knows the animals' history by heart and understands the relationships between them: she could write a book! 📖 We wish this educational farm continued success and much prosperity in the future. Participating in this farm's efforts by visiting it means encouraging an ambitious and heartfelt project. We are delighted to have been a part of it! ✨️🐴🐎🐔💜 Wishing you and all the animals a wonderful life! Sandrine, Arnaud, Coline, and Nino

    A very pleasant visit, very well-maintained educational farm with explanations. Happy animals in beautiful spaces, pigs to feed and cuddly donkeys.

    Wonderful 🌞 Farm tour with Bérénice. She knows all her animals by heart and loves them. The animals are very well cared for. There's an atmosphere of tranquility and peace on the property. Bérénice is passionate about her work, very professional, and she is well supported by her partner and her father, who help her make the farm a very pleasant place. I recommend this place! I really love the two mules (Arthur and Lulu) 🥰 The tour is great; the spaces are well thought out and accessible to visitors. The animals are close to humans. All the best for the future!
