Ferme Élevage de Kangourous et de Myocastors, Educational animal farm in Saint-Nectaire, France
This animal farm in Saint-Nectaire focuses primarily on kangaroos and myocastors but also provides space for llamas, marmots, prairie dogs, reindeer, and Corsican mouflons. Each species occupies spacious enclosures that reflect their living requirements.
The farm was established in 1983 as a myocastor breeding operation. A decade later, kangaroos were introduced, leading to its development into an educational facility.
The name reflects the two main species raised here, kangaroos and myocastors, which shape the farm's identity and daily life. Visitors experience direct contact with animals in a setting that values learning through observation and gentle interaction.
Plan your visit for the afternoon when animals are most active and the farm comes fully alive. Wear appropriate footwear, as paths through the enclosures are unpaved and can become slippery after rain.
Visitors can spend a day as a zookeeper, hand-feeding animals with carrots and bread as part of the daily routine. This hands-on experience reveals how feeding patterns work and why consistency matters for animal health.
