Ferme Pédagogique - Les Jours Heureux, Educational petting zoo in Saléchan, France
Ferme Pédagogique - Les Jours Heureux is a working farm in Saléchan where visitors can touch and feed domestic animals including goats, sheep, rabbits, and chickens. The property has spaces for observing farm routines, shelters for different animal groups, and areas designed for hands-on interaction.
The farm started as a simple educational project to teach people about agriculture and animal husbandry. Over time it expanded to include more animals, activities, and guided programs as demand grew for hands-on farming experiences.
The place shows how daily farm work connects people with animal care and rural routines. Walking through the property, visitors observe practical tasks that highlight the relationship between farmers and their livestock.
The farm sits on Chemin de Campagnac and works best if you arrive with realistic expectations about weather and muddy conditions. Plan to spend at least an hour or two exploring the grounds and interacting with the animals at your own pace.
Visitors can sponsor individual animals and receive regular updates about how their chosen animal is growing and thriving throughout the year. This creates a lasting personal connection to the farm that extends beyond a single visit.
