With the animals
Come and discover the animals that live in our mountains
It's a delightful experience for little ones and the pleasure of getting closer to nature for the older ones. Enter the world of husky dogs during a “cani-rando” (husky dog hike)- a real moment where you are as one with the dogs. Be it during a ride in a cani-kart or an adventure hike in a sled (with wheels) - you will discover the role of the “musher”. You can participate in an educational experience with the dogs during the “Mystery of the Huskies” game or simply visit the husky dog park. A wonderful experience for young and old alike. Visit the goats on a trip to a farm during milking time

LA FERME DES MINIATURES
The animals of our farm are miniature; it is for an educational and therapeutic purpose because we make Animal therapy (non-medicinal therapy for children with behavioral disorders, elderly people (etc...) the well being of the human by the welfare of the animal).
We offer traineeships for two hours. Courses as visits are only on appointment for the well being of all and for each appointment, the farm is privatized so that the visit is of quality, both for our visitors and for our animals.
The animals here are miniature goats, 1 micro pig, 1 miniature horse, 1 miniature donkey, adoptable miniature rabbits (upcoming miniature animals: cow, chickens and sheep). We are also miniature goat breeders.
