    • Located in the town of St Georges d'Oléron, La Ferme aux Ânes is a place to discover with your family.
      From the free visit to the "Little Farmers" workshops, through the donkey tours or the carriage tours, all our activities are adapted to the different public welcomed.
      Created in 2008, the agricultural company "Les Ânes d'Oléron" is mainly based on equids, including the Baudet du Poitou.
      From the annual pension to the training in asinine traction through the reception of the public in situation of handicap, the free visits of the pedagogical farm and the cleaning of the beaches assisted by the donkeys, this structure values the asinine species in all its virtues.
      Moreover since 2022, the structure has developed in the services of eco-pasture with a herd of Poitevin goats and ewes Landes de Bretagne. The various animations on the Farm will allow you to discover our profession of breeder.
      A store with organic donkey milk soaps, children's books and cuddly toys will complete your visit to the farm.
      Without forgetting our local organic bar where you can taste our beer "Île et Elle" or our lemonades from Oleron.

      DRIVING, A REAL PASSION AT THE DONKEY FARM !

      Accompanied by an experienced driver, you will ride along the paths around the farm to discover our livestock. It will also be the occasion to exchange with your guide on our jobs and our and our animals.
      This is an activity to be done with the whole family. Our carriages are equipped to be driven in all weathers (rain or shine).
      Our donkeys, our draft horses or our mules are trained to this practice. We adapt the number and the size of the animals according to the load and the duration of the activity.
      The price is 40€ for a 30 minutes circuit for a group of 4 to 5 people. Possibility to take up to 12 people.
      Activity on reservation.
      This year, we are opening a new activity : the apéro-plage en attelage !
      (More information on request)
      It is also possible to book a Escargoline, a real tricycle pulled by a donkey guided by us.
      Activity adapted to families with young children.

    We had a great time as a family with our four children and our 2 month old puppy. Dogs are accepted when they are on a leash. The story of Bérénice and Vicko is touching. Respect for animals and kindness are the key words of this haven of peace. The donkey ride and the visit to the farm convinced everyone! Thanks again :) (We will be back this summer).
