About this location
Good morning,
We are Marion and Thierry.
Thierry, a lifelong farmer on the family farm and in Organic Agriculture since 2001.
Marion, partner and daughter-in-law, installed on the farm in 2009, state-qualified equestrian instructor with the disabled practice certificate, is particularly in charge of equestrian, educational, educational, creative activities....
Today we are winegrowers for our village's cooperative winery. We also cultivate vines for table grapes from August to October and olive trees with black Tanche olives for local oil and retail olives. Since 2021 we have been producing our own semi-wholemeal T80 flour from our soft wheat and we are completing the range with the small spelt, a specialty of our region, in grain and flour. We make all the hay for our 2 horses and 5 donkeys. The horses and donkeys are present for equestrian, educational, educational, and leisure activities, gently and at the animal's pace, offered and supervised by Marion. We are members of the "Racines PACA" network of rural environmental education farms.
After a hiatus from our equestrian and educational activities, we are looking to get back to work in a broader and more varied way, with complementary practices. We have long wanted to welcome guests to our land for overnight stays. With our simple welcome for campers and riders, we offer a few activities for those who feel the need:
*educational and educational workshops, and artistic creation workshops around living things with a sensitive approach to rural ecology.
*activities around our profession as Farmers.
*discovery of the animal world, learning activities, sensations and emotions with horses and donkeys.
2023 was our first real year of hosting the campsite. 2024 is here with quite a few changes and we are very excited about this new adventure that we are offering to all nature lovers, those curious about the agricultural world, passing campers and all those who just want to camp freely in a large space.
To begin the reception on this 2ha land, the facilities are simple and basic in a pretty little wild wood extended by a partially fenced meadow to share the reception area for campers/riders and horses...
All the furnishings are homemade using only recycled materials. This beautiful place will continue to be developed and revealed over time while retaining its natural character.
We are doing everything we can to ensure that our new foster parents... can bring you and us pleasant shared moments and happy, good memories.
So we look forward to meeting you at the crossroads.
Thierry and Marion
This small wood bordered by its meadow is quite easy to access because the small municipal road runs along the wood side below.
We have a first access point just after the vineyard on the left, suitable for medium-sized vehicles. In addition, for everyone, including campers, caravans, etc., we have created a wide access point on the left just after the small wood that leads directly to the meadow.
*2000 m2 are available in wooded space for small and medium tents in the woods,
plus the 18,000 m² fenced meadow to accommodate campers in caravans, vans or large tents and of course horses. For this year there are no shelters for horses.
New in 2025: hot shower, 2 sinks with hot water and 2 sinks with cold water.
*Traffic is relatively quiet here because this road ends in paths. It is therefore used by local residents and farmers. However, be aware that farmers can be early risers.
*The place is still wild and home to many birds.
*We are in the south so we are lucky to have a lot of light, the chance to be lulled by the song of the cicadas perched on the pines and oaks, and the chance to be able to marvel under a beautiful starry sky.
*The landscapes are very varied, passing through vineyards, olive trees and forest, on the slopes of our beautiful hills on the border of Drôme or going back down towards the river. Natural Provençal and rural atmosphere under its beautiful and famous sun.

Other remarks
A simple and friendly place for travelers.
*Attention to sensitive people: all animal and plant allergens are present.
*Our animal friends are of course welcome. We ask that any "little gifts" left on the grass or elsewhere be picked up and placed in the household trash out of respect for the campers and yourself, the other animals, the place, and also us... your hosts... This way we can continue to welcome your beloved pets.
