We agree with the previous comment. Jean-Michel and Régine have completely understood how to welcome motorhome travelers. They are incredibly kind and, despite their very busy schedules, always take the time to accommodate newcomers. We were able to watch the sheep being milked, and it is immediately clear that Jean-Michel loves his animals. We will return.Translating
Really lovely farm. Jean-Michel and Régine are wonderfully welcoming people. The shop lets us take home good saucisson and sheep's cheese. Jean-Michel took time for us and pointed out some really lovely places to visit with superb scenery where the animals roam freely. Thank you both for this welcome and the small glass of Patxaran.Translating
Comfortably settled in the heart of the farm, after a peaceful night we were able to watch the sheep being milked and taste their delicious milk! Thank you for your welcome and all the explanations. We will be sure to recommend you in Poitou! Catherine and DanielTranslating
Our second stop at this farm. The owner is friendly and welcoming. Despite his many duties, he takes time for motorhome travelers (€5 for electricity and water, and you can buy farm products). The only downside is a regular motorhome visitor who quickly becomes intrusive.Translating
Very pleasant farm—Jean-Michel shares his work with passion. We watched the sheep being milked and tasted the fresh milk.Translating
We had a wonderful time at Jean-Michel's farm with his partner. There were some very kind regulars who helped us settle in. We slept very well, and at 7:30 in the morning we went to watch the sheep being milked with Jean-Michel. We tasted cheese, saucisson, and chorizo in the shop, where we bought some excellent products. Many thanks to them!Translating
We stopped at Jean-Michel's and are delighted we made this stop. The welcome was warm and caring. The children saw the animals. The setting is peaceful, clean, and well maintained. We met very nice people there. Parents and children alike left with wonderful memories and good farm products. Thank you to Jean-Michel and his wife.Translating
Wonderful welcome at Jean-Michel's. We were able to watch the sheep being milked with the children in the morning and were given delicious fresh milk. The shop products are also very good. We will definitely return.Translating
A warm stopover that we love, with a small shop selling local products. The cheese is delicious; we recommend it. Courage to the owners, who have a lot of work at the moment. We will return.Translating
Very warm welcome from Jean-Michel and Régine. Grassy, level pitches with tables. Do not forget the shop with its excellent products. The cheese is very good. For several years, I have arranged to stop by and stock up on cheese. Quiet spot. Peaceful night.Translating
The owner warmly welcomed us; the parking area is level. We spent two nights there, and the farm products are excellent—cheese, pâté, sausages, confit, etc. If you are in the area, stop here; it is worth it.Translating
Hello, a quiet little spot with very welcoming people, and the shop has everything needed for a pleasant evening. I recommend it.Translating
Friendly welcome, large meadow with picnic tables, homemade aperitif offered, and the possibility of emptying tanks—what more could you ask for? An address to remember, especially since there are few wild camping spots in the area.Translating
Peaceful night. You can fill up with water. The children enjoyed being able to watch the animals.Translating
A 100% recommendable place. The farmer was extremely friendly and let us use all the facilities—water, emptying everything, and electricity—for free. We bought several products from the small shop, and they were delicious. Very peaceful despite a small road passing by. The surroundings are very quiet: a hamlet of four houses with a little river beside it. If you have children, they can see the cows and sheep there. We are very happy.Translating
They welcome you into the farmyard, which could be very nice if it were not located beside the road. The owners are welcoming, although barely had we settled in before we had to buy their farm products. At the end of the evening, the owner came by with his homemade aperitif and some charcuterie. It was too fatty for our taste.Translating
Great place, peaceful. I recommend the farm products; they are excellent.Translating
Very friendly people. I was welcomed free of charge on their land. In exchange, you can buy products. These people have understood everything. Go there with your eyes closed!Translating
Five stars because we cannot give more! A simple, smiling, and warm welcome from the owners, just like from the regulars. Exactly what we are looking for. And a shop with top-quality products: sheep, goat, and cow cheeses, saucissons, ham, preserves—in short, we almost bought the shop. Not forgetting the possibility of emptying and filling up for free.Translating
Wonderful place, with very welcoming hosts who are incredibly kind. You can connect to electricity and fill up with water. Go without hesitation!Translating
No regrets, perfect. Parking under chestnut trees with picnic tables available. Farm products for sale: veal, lamb, beef (vacuum-packed), summer sheep's cheese, and homemade preserves such as veal axoa, sausages, and blood sausage, all at reasonable prices. The welcome is excellent and the advice helpful. Thank you.
