Nicolas whispers in the ears of the mares

Want to experience something unique as a family? You are welcome at Nicolas' farm, nestled in the Hang clearing, for a magical encounter with horses unlike any other. They are called Curly. Available from 5 participants, this activity is offered by the Bruche Valley Tourism Office.

Curly horses, you say? Never heard of them. It’s true that just a century ago, this animal was on the brink of extinction. And even today, it remains largely unknown to the general public. Yet, and yet… this mysterious yet magnificent horse has the power to melt your hearts. You’ll agree when you visit Nicolas’ farm.

Scheduled every Tuesday afternoon from mid-July to August, this activity will offer you exceptional moments. To begin, you’ll go for a walk with Nicolas, who will tell you about his beloved clearing. Together, you’ll pick plants that will be used to prepare creams, balms, and other body care products.

Back at the farm, you’ll witness the milking of the mares and be invited to taste their milk. A precious beverage renowned for its health benefits due to its many virtues. Very close to human breast milk, mare’s milk is particularly nutritious, easier to digest than cow’s milk, and excellent for the skin. Indeed, Nicolas uses it to make soap and will reveal his secrets of production. You’ll understand: this is an experience you must not miss!
