We've selected the best activities for you to discover in and around the area, so you can make the most of your stay.
The Estate
Nature, Animals and Well-being
A unique place to recharge your batteries
Situated 15 km from the sea, our estate is a haven of peace surrounded by 3 hectares of parkland, 200-year-old trees and friendly animals. If you come to stay in one of our gîtes (2 to 15 people), we offer you authentic experiences combining discovering nature, animal encounters and moments of well-being.
🐾 Activities with animals: (from April 2026)
Get up close and personal with our animals at workshops open to all:
Mini-farming workshop : Put on your boots and discover life on the farm: feeding, caring for, cuddling... but also cleaning the litter boxes, the equipment... a fun and instructive moment.
Guided tour of the animals : Come and meet our dwarf goats, mini-Shetland ponies, dwarf pigs, mini Highland cows, chickens, dwarf rabbits and other inhabitants of the estate, accompanied by their little stories.
Ride with ponies and miniature goats: A tender ride, perfect for creating unforgettable family memories (the ponies are not mountable).
Early learning on the farm : A first sensory encounter to introduce youngsters to the gentle, respectful touch of animals (small animals: dwarf rabbits, dwarf chickens).
Feeding workshop : Share a unique moment by feeding our animals and observing their behaviour up close.
🌿 Well-being activities and reconnecting with oneself (planned for autumn 2026)
Sound meditation with animals : Make yourself comfortable and let yourself be lulled by the sounds and vibrations, in the soothing presence of our companions.
Sound siesta : In fine weather, lie down in the shade under our two-hundred-year-old trees, close your eyes and let the gentle sounds transport you to another world. This workshop can also be held in our reception room in cooler weather.
Personal development and spirituality workshops: Time to explore, reconnect with your vital energy, awaken your intuition and rediscover your balance.
