The mini-farm, a nature-focused spirit in South Finistère
Children quickly find their way here. Inside the campsite, just a stone’s throw from the pitches and sheltered from the wind, there is always a moment to pause. In this former orchard in Clohars-Carnoët, balancing the peace of the countryside with the immediate proximity of the seaside, people come to see the animals in eco-grazing… and end up getting to know them.
A lively spot at the heart of the campsite
The animals are part of everyday life. People pass by, stop, and observe our residents peacefully grazing in their field.
As you wander by the enclosure, children and parents will cross paths with Sam the alpaca, as well as our four-legged mascots:
- Our gentle sheep: the mischievous Ouessant sheep, the unique Valais Blacknose sheep, and the hardy Cameroon sheep.
- Our adorable goats: the pygmy goat and the Anglo-Nubian goat, always eager for cuddles and the true queens of the mini-farm.
Some stay for a long time. Others return several times a day. There are no timetables.
Just moments.
Getting closer, gently, through the seasons
Sometimes, you step a little closer to the enclosure. You hold out a hand. You learn to move gently, at your own pace. Feeding, stroking… or simply watching.
- In May and June, it’s baby animal season! The perfect time to enjoy the peace of the early season, watch the youngest take their first steps, and perhaps even choose a name for them.
- In July and August, it’s time to meet! Children and adults can come and feed the animals alongside our team, for a truly special and authentic experience.
This is often where trust is built.
Children, naturally
The little ones discover. The older ones take their time. This is one of the places at Camping du Pouldu where they quickly feel at ease. And often, they head back there on their own… while parents enjoy the peace and the Slow Tourism spirit of the place.
The spirit of the place
Our mini-farm is set in the former orchard, a space that has remained simple and full of life. It doesn’t try to fill up time. It is part of the campsite, like everything else, quite naturally.
