Very, very good! What a magical place! Twenty-seven donkeys, just as many Angora goats, chickens and rabbits. Very kind hostess, with a small shop selling products made from donkey milk and mohair wool. Ideal for walking the dog. We will return! Thank you for everything!Translating
It looked great. Unfortunately, the barrier was closed and the telephone only had a message in French. The neighbours could not help either. We had to continue to the next site.Translating
After being welcomed by a pleasant person who introduced us to the farm’s products—donkey-milk soap, mohair products and more—we spent two nights. A farm in the countryside, five minutes from central Laval. It will be our base for future visits to see our son, who is doing an apprenticeship in Laval. Peaceful and surrounded by nature, we recommend it.Translating
As FRANCE PASSION members, we were allowed to stay for free. The farm and animals themselves are wonderful, but unfortunately one farm building was used for a loud, exuberant youth party. People shouted all evening, so we continued on during the night.Translating
There is a barrier at the entrance; you have to call to get a code to open it. The owner did not answer. To leave, you have to reverse along a narrow road. Our motorhome is 7.5 metres long. My advice is to call well in advance.Translating
We were looking for a calm and pleasant place and found it among the animals, with walking paths nearby.Translating
A picture-book farm. Super-friendly welcome and a great pitch in the courtyard. There are tables and benches, toilets, showers and washbasins. There is also a small farm shop selling cosmetics and clothing made on the farm. The entire farm is beautifully laid out, enormous and very well maintained. There are various animals: chickens, cats and rabbits roam freely and come right up to the camper. We were delighted and would return immediately!Translating
A charming and bucolic place. A pleasant and warm welcome—I recommend it!Translating
Super-quiet place among the animals. We were very well received by the team. I highly recommend it.Translating
Friendly and available welcome; idyllic setting populated by all kinds of animals; complete and clean facilities; farm products for sale. We could not have dreamed of anything better for our first night in a campervan.Translating
A wonderful discovery; everything is perfect in this peaceful place surrounded by nature.Translating
Very beautiful, quiet and safe. The dry toilet and shower are good. Donkeys, goats, rabbits, chickens and a pig. Unfortunately, nobody was there on Sunday, but we reached someone by phone. They only spoke French, but gave us a code for the barrier.Translating
Excellent, nothing to criticise. I recommend it. Warm welcome, very good sanitary facilities and dry toilets. €13.40 with electricity, €10.40 without. In nature, with the farm animals wandering around at wake-up time. Small organic market on Tuesday late afternoon.Translating
Very pleasant, quiet and relaxing place, and waking up with the animals is lovely. The sanitary facilities are clean. I recommend it; everything is perfect.Translating
Friendly welcome just before 8 p.m. (the reception closing time). The only drawback was that the showers were closed at the beginning of November. That was the reason for our stop! It would be good to mention this in the description.Translating
An absolutely beautiful place, run with love for the benefit of the countryside and the animals. Facilities are spotless and in keeping with an ecologically aware place. The shop sells wonderful hand-made mohair items from their own goats, together with soap made from donkey milk. (Much nicer than it sounds!). A really warm welcome, great price and blissful, natural surroundings.
Very pleasant for spending a quiet night in nature, with children who can let off steam and enjoy the animals.Translating
