We came so my grandchildren could be farmers for a day at La Contrée des Minis. The welcome there is warm, and the information provided throughout the tour is extensive and very clear. We learned a lot during the tour and appreciated our guide’s helpfulness and kindness. The kids were thrilled and were able to ask as many questions as they wanted. … The place is peaceful, just like the animals, who seem happy. A wonderful experience that I highly recommend.

Nous sommes venus pour que mes petits enfants soient fermiers d'un jour à la Contrée des minis. L'accueil y est chaleureux et les informations données au fil de la visite sont nombreuses et très claires . Nous avons beaucoup appris lors de ce parcours et avons apprécié la disponibilité et la gentillesse de notre animateur. Les enfants étaient ravis et ont pu poser toutes les questions qu'ils désiraient. Le lieu est paisible, tout comme les animaux que l'on sent heureux. Une belle expérience à recommander sans réserve.

Un grand merci à toute l’équipe pour sa gentillesse, son travail, sa disponibilité et sa passion. Nous repartons toujours avec de très bons souvenirs 😊et à la prochaine 😉! -
