Homepage Le parc Down on the Farm Down on the Farm A superb conservation area, the farm hosts more than 25 species. Don’t miss the chance to play at being a farmer and to learn more about the animals. Get to know the farm animals Before it became a top-notch reserve for European wildlife, Sainte-Croix was a farmland. Bordering the three discovery trails that cover the 120 hectares of the park, the educational farm comprising a pigsty, sheepfold, stables, rabbit hutches, pigeon house and chicken runs stands as a reminder of the park’s rural past and a tribute to Gérald Singer, the visionary farmer who founded the nature reserve. The farmyard named after him is no ordinary one. It is centred on ecology, designed to conserve domestic animal species. The vegetable garden and the mandala Animals, and more ! Sainte-Croix is introducing an innovative market gardening project spanning 1600m², growing organic, local produce. The garden will be open to visitors. A restaurant serves dishes made with the fresh produce, in true farm-to-fork style. In keeping with our aim to reconnect people with nature, the project includes an awareness-raising campaign centred on the good sense of our rural ancestry. 120 hectares of unspoilt countryside Spanning 120 hectares, the Parc Animalier de Sainte-Croix is home to a selection of European fauna and a contributor to worldwide biodiversity.
