Come and discover this Echappées Nature site, meet its donkeys and their cousins (Poitevin draught horses and Poitevin mules) from their first steps to their various uses (pack, traction, harnessing). Spend an unforgettable day with us! A bucolic place, on the edge of the forest and a stone's throw from the charming village of Dampierre-sur-Boutonne, this Echappées Nature site plunges you into the world of a typically Saintongean farm and offers you the chance to get up close to the Baudet du Poitou, the oldest breed of donkey in France. The Asinerie is a historic place for the protection of this emblematic animal, and offers fun and educational activities, free and guided tours, rides with a pack-saddle donkey, carriage rides... All this at your own pace, in a natural and protected area of 55ha. Remember to book your activity!
