Farm Visits – Meet the Animals

Living in close proximity to animals

Meeting local farmers and producers gives you the extra tools to fully experience enriching and rejuvenating moments. We offer you an experience! As breeders of Savoyard sheep of the Thônes and Marthod breed in Mieussy, Haute-Savoie, we will open the doors of our farm to you so you can meet the flock. We will also introduce you to farmers of cows, goats, and other animals, depending on your preferences and during organized outings. Over a snack, a cheese tasting, snails, herbal teas, and more, discover local products and unforgettable flavors. Want to experience unforgettable moments? Hesitant to take the first step? We'll guide you up close to the farm animals, up close to the breeds of cows, sheep, and goats of our mountains!
