First day: Welcome to the donkey farm in Vassivière!

 

You will be able to put your suitcases in one of our Mongolian yurts or in the gypsy trailer. It is one of these two unusual accommodations that will serve as your "base camp" throughout your stay.

 

To rest after driving, you will surely want to take a few steps around the estate. You will discover the river, the Maulde, which will be your common thread during these few days in the countryside. It will also be an opportunity to get to know the donkeys and try to recognize the one that will accompany you tomorrow. So who is Gabin? Is this this one? Or is it Maurice or Sureau?

Check-in between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. First night in a yurt or gypsy-caravan, breakfast included, packed lunch on request. > see accommodation

Day 2: First ride with your donkey

 

Before starting your hike, you will get to know your donkey. Christophe will teach you the right steps to prepare it. Then, when everything is in place, you can start. The first walk will make you discover the picturesque village of Peyrat-le-Château and its surroundings. You will take the paths of schoolchildren, discover new viewpoints on the 15th century Tower. You will take the fresh air at the edge of the river and no doubt, you will also discuss with the people who fish at the edge of the pond. It must be said that with your long-eared friend, you will not go unnoticed! At noon, if you're feeling peckish, it'll be an opportunity to unpack the “locavore” picnic that Olivier will have prepared for you. An original way to bite into the specialties of the region!

Second night in a yurt or gypsy-caravan, breakfast included, packed lunch on request.

Day 3: like a pro!

 

You pick up your donkey all by yourself from the meadow and you prepare it like real donkey drivers! Everything is ready ? So on the way! This second hike will make you gain a little height.

Along the way, you pass near the Ferme de la Colline. Take the time to take a break to taste the delicious cheeses produced on site.

After the lunch break, you go down to La Maulde. You take a well-hidden path and without even realizing it, by dint of following the magnificent little river, you are back on the farm. Your donkey is not mistaken! Seeing his friends, he surely lets out a terrible cry. That way everyone knows you're back...
Third night in a yurt or gypsy-caravan, breakfast included, packed lunch on request.
