Asinerie du Baudet du Poitou

Come and discover this site of Echappées Nature, meet its donkeys and their cousins (Poitevin draft horses and Poitevin mules) from their first steps to their various uses (pack-saddle, traction, harnessing). Spend an unforgettable day with us !
A bucolic place, on the edge of the forest and a stone's throw from the charming village of Dampierre-sur-Boutonne, this site of Les Echappées Nature plunges you into the world of a typical Saintonge farm and offers you the opportunity to get up close and personal with the Baudet du Poitou, the oldest breed of donkey in France. A historic site for the preservation of this emblematic animal, the Asinerie offers fun and educational activities, free and guided visits, walks with a donkey, carriage rides... all at your own pace, in a natural and protected area of 55 hectares. Don't forget to book your activity !
