    Description

    For about ten years, I have been working on developing a piece of land inherited from my family to accommodate animals. And to offer people the chance to come and discover these animals. We currently have 4 donkeys. With the association that supports me, we offer discovery workshops, donkey rides in the summer and Animal Mediation.
    Karine, who is also working on this project, may also need a helping hand. For her part, she also works with these ponies and two goats.
    There is a lot of work to maintain the land: clearing, mowing, small construction, etc.
    The place is located 30 minutes from Bordeaux, near Créon and the Abbey of La Sauve Majeur. Beautiful walks in the surrounding woods.
    I can also accommodate you at my home in Cenon, 30 minutes from Bordeaux by public transport.
    ===========
    Depuis une dizaine d'année, je m'attèle à aménager un bout de terrain hérité de ma famille pour y accueillir des animaux. Et pour proposer aux gens de venir découvrir ces animaux. Nous avons actuellement 4 ânes. Avec l'association qui m'accompagne nous proposons des ateliers de découverte, des balades à dos d'ânes à la belle saison et de la Médiation Animale.
    Karine qui travaille également sur ce projet, peut également avoir besoin d'un coup de main. De son côté, elle travaille aussi avec ces poneys et deux chèvres.
    Il y a un gros travail d'entretien du terrain : débroussaillage, tonte, petite construction ect...
    Le lieu de trouve à 30 min de Bordeaux, près de Créon et de l'Abbaye de La Sauve Majeur. Des belles balades dans les bois aux alentours.
    Je peux également vous héberger à mon domicile à Cenon à 30 min de Bordeaux en transport en commun.
