Tips & Advice

  • Come in the morning if you want to hear the 40-voice Chœur Sospiri concert, which the farm calls a highlight not to miss.
  • Book your carriage ride on site when you arrive, because rides leave at set times in the afternoon and last about 20 minutes.
  • Leave time for the free farm visit circuit, a self-guided trail where you can meet goats, donkeys, pigs, draft horses and poultry.
  • Stay into the afternoon with young children, because Santa Claus is due to stop by the market then.
  • Bring a sturdy bag for food from the local producers, such as cheeses, foie gras, honey, chocolates and wine.
