La ferme à l'École, Petting zoo in Chenôve, France
La ferme à l'École is a petting zoo in Chenôve with around one hundred animals including ponies, pigs, sheep, and donkeys that visitors can experience up close. The grounds feature different areas for interacting and observing, designed for various age groups.
The farm was established within the Clos du Roy garden, a site with a long history of wine production in the region. This location connects rural heritage of Chenôve with modern learning goals for visitors.
The place emphasizes agriculture and animal care through direct contact that visitors share with the animals here. Educational approaches show how people and animals live together and what role sustainable practices play in daily farm life.
The grounds are best visited in the morning when animals are more active and crowds are smaller. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and prepare for changeable weather since many activities happen outdoors.
The grounds feature a specially designed labyrinth where children search for hidden animals and discover different species. This creates a playful learning experience that goes beyond simple observation.
