La Ferme d’Idefix, in the Var, offers an introduction to farm life through meeting animals and activities aimed at families. The site is described as having around 200 animals and offering pony rides: a visit can therefore combine observing animals with an equestrian activity, depending on what is available at the time.
An outing to observe animals
An educational farm allows visitors to get close to animals and better understand their presence and needs. Instructions given on site are important, particularly for children: visitors must respect designated areas, permitted ways of interacting with animals and the team's guidance.
Planning your visit
The activities on offer, access conditions for pony rides and visitor arrangements may vary. Before travelling, check directly with the farm its opening days, any booking requirements, the ages accepted for activities and the necessary weather conditions.
La Ferme d’Idefix makes for an outing where children can discover animals in a way that goes beyond books or pictures. Its main distinguishing feature is the combination of an educational farm and pony rides.
