Monsieur Martin’s goats

Visits

 

   The forty goats at La Saffrie are dab hands at giving a superb welcome to their visitors. They will charm old and young alike.

The way the visit is organised :

-standing on a gangway above the pens,
Mr. Martin tells you all about the life and habits of his charges.

   
-inside the goat-house, a goat is stroked, fed and milked.
 
-a pleasant, well appointed and heated in the winter reunion room is available for pick-nicks and snacks. Visitors can taste the various goat cheeses produced here.

 -a documentary film with French or English commentary shows the different steps in the making of the farmhouse SAFFRIN.

 -it is possible to combine the visit with a walk on signposted paths with a photo tour and observation of the environment.

a place to visit absolutely, only goats are not welcome.
This is the Jumaju garden (in french), heaven of the rose and particularly the ancien rose

A secure parking space is available to well equipped and autonomous motor home owners belonging to the association FRANCE PASSION. Two spaces are available. It is a peaceful setting. I would advise would-be visitors to arrive early in order to become familiar with the place, to stroke the goats and to taste the cheese.
