Au pré de Justin

Au Pré de Justin is a petting zoo in Charly where visitors can interact directly with farm animals like goats, pigs, and rabbits. The animals roam in open spaces that allow hands-on contact and exploration for all ages.

The site was created to give children in the Lyon region access to farm animals and traditional animal care. It grew from an idea to connect the younger generation with rural life and farming practices.

The farm functions as a non-profit organization under French law, focusing on educational programs that connect children with traditional farm animal care.

The site is best enjoyed in fair weather since the animals spend time outdoors in open spaces. Wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for uneven ground when walking around.

Guided feeding sessions let visitors hand-feed the animals and learn about their daily care firsthand. This direct contact often becomes the most memorable part of the visit for many families.
