Ferme Pédagogique, Petting zoo in Mogneville, France.
The Ferme Pédagogique is a learning farm in Mogneville with several enclosures where pigs, sheep, donkeys, hens, and llamas live. The animals are directly accessible, and there are also opportunities for riding and watching daily animal care routines.
The farm was established to give city dwellers access to traditional farming practices. This initiative grew from a desire to preserve and share knowledge about animal care and regional agricultural techniques with new generations.
The farm shows visitors how traditional French agriculture works through the way animals are kept and cared for daily. You can see how regional breeds are raised and what role they play in local farming life.
Upon arrival, visitors receive animal food to feed most animals, with pigs being the exception. Special activities like pony riding involve extra fees, so it is helpful to know in advance what is included in your visit.
The farm has raised garden beds about 1 meter (3 feet) high that allow children to observe and harvest fruits and vegetables. These elevated gardens are especially handy for younger visitors and offer a change from the animal enclosures.
