    Very pleasant flowery path among the rabbits, certainly in cages, but it is for their safety. Visit with our doggies, it was very nice. Welcome from the owner just as pleasant.

    Disappointed, it's really poorly maintained. Mud, old A4 sheets to talk about astronomy, a rat at the catering reception. Slippery terrain and not suitable for entertaining when it has rained before. In short, for the price, an hour in all: we especially felt a lot of pain seeing these rabbits in a cage. This is not the rabbit forest but a caged rabbit farm. Nothing magical.

    3 / 5 Reviews posted by Emilie G on 17/04/2025

    Good walk in a nice setting of green hills. Owner friendly and passionate. However, we would have preferred to see the animals a little more free and see some facilities a little more maintained...
