What is La Fromagerie?
La Fromagerie is a working farm that opens its doors to families for guided tours. Children can meet and feed cows, goats, and other farm animals, learn how cheese is made, and run around the garden and playground. The tour includes a cheese tasting, and there is an on-site restaurant for lunch. It is a gentle, educational half-day outing, especially good for younger children who may find a full safari too demanding.
