Ferme pédagogique de la Turmelière

Just a stone’s throw from the Château de la Turmelière in Liré, the Turmelière educational farm welcomes furry and feathered friends to delight young and old alike! Léanne takes care of a whole menagerie of ducks, geese, rabbits, goats and many more. These donated and rescued animals find a reassuring home in an exceptional environment covering one and a half hectares. Allowing these little four-legged residents to frolic to their heart’s content in the land where Joachim du Bellay was born. Léanne offers guided tours of the educational farm, by appointment, so you can spend some quality time with the animals. You can get up close, pet and feed these little companions. It’s the perfect opportunity for children and parents alike to learn about animal welfare and respect for nature and the seasons, with a visit to the vegetable garden. You’ll be sure to find Papyrus, Popette, Lune and their other friends very cute! Access to the farm is via a separate entrance in the grounds of Château de la Turmelière, 600 metres from the château.
