I really enjoyed learning about essential oil and soap production. I'm a plant geek and love to learn about these things. That said the highlight is undoubtedly petting the baby donkeys. They are sooo fluffy and surprisingly cuddly!
We have visited 4 times now, it has become a “must see” every time we have family or friends over to visit us. Cecile kindly speaks in English for those unable to speak French. Its a beautiful farm in an idyllic setting, the donkeys are well looked after and have all the space and freedom they could need.
Incredible farm, incredible animals and most of all incredible hosts!! Definitely recommend taking the guided tour and checking out their shop. We bought a bottle of wine and donkey milk cosmetics, both are great and which is even better, organic.
