Description

I'm Cécile and I've been raising sheep on an organic and educational farm since 2006. It's a 45-hectare farm of meadows and woods with all its animals: sheep, draught horses, donkeys, goats, pigs, rabbits, cows, farmyard. I've been a nature organizer for 28 years. My husband Jean-Louis, retired, and our son Neil, 17, help with the day-to-day running of the farm. We welcome children for stays of a week or 2 in Inuit tents. In 2025, we opened a 12-person gîte with PRM access.
