Ferme pédagogique et équestre du fan

Who I am: My name is Hélène, and I'm the founder and manager of the farm. I'm married with one son, Alexis. I was born in Mayenne to farmer parents, and I've always had a passion for animals, especially horses. Nature and being outdoors are essential to my well-being. After studying agriculture (BEPA, Bac pro driving and managing a farm), I naturally turned to the equine world, where I passed my Brevet Professionnel de la Jeunesse et du Sport option tourisme équestre (BPJEPS). After a few years in a riding school, I wanted to try out the equestrian world, where I spent several years of my life. When my son was born, I decided to work in the civil service (I have the BAFA and the recognised equivalent of the CAP petite enfance) as a leisure centre activity leader during the school holidays and as an ATSEM during the school holidays.

We've been an educational farm since September 2024, in the commune of Bazouges Cré sur Loir. First and foremost, you'll find a place where we've chosen to live: my husband, my son and me. I really want to bring this place to life and amaze young and old alike, while respecting animals and nature. It's a place where life is good and simple, where I want to share wonderful moments with you.
