Cows, goats, chickens and rabbits… in Paris! No, you’re not dreaming, there is actually a farm in the French capital, in the Bois de Vincennes, to be precise... Known logically enough as the Ferme de Paris, this working farm has an educational function and welcomes visitors of all ages to discover life on the farm through each season’s different tasks (harvesting, sheep-shearing, milking…), typical crops from the Ile-de-France region and how to look after the animals. Workshops enable children to participate in farming activities by learning how to make jam or spin and dye wool. A real taste of the countryside for city-dwellers and visitors alike.
