The Coët-Kra Farm

Close to the sources of the Loch and Arz rivers, not far from the Landes de Lanvaux, the Jardins de Coët Kra are an oasis where flora and fauna flourish freely for our enjoyment. Amphibians (common toads, green frogs, salamanders, etc.), diurnal and nocturnal birds of prey, numerous other birds, bats, insects, centipedes, and more are all welcome here.

The animals raised at Les Jardins de Coët-Kra are hardy breeds threatened with extinction.

We are thus contributing to the preservation of Armorican cows and Landes de Bretagne sheep, both native to Brittany.

They live outdoors all year round, are fed on grass from the farm and have hedges and woods for shelter.

We coexist by creating the living environment that suits them best.

Nature is better off too!

In groups of 8-12 people, the restoration work on streams, wetlands and hedgerows is presented during a guided tour.

Primary school children and secondary school pupils are not just spectators. By asking questions, they realise that they themselves are participants.

Stopping to look at the animals, observing them, seeing how they behave. Their anatomy, what they eat, where they live... are all indicators of their lifestyle and their role in the ecosystem.

Listening, observing and touching what surrounds us to understand the links between living creatures and their habitat.

That's what it means to be an ecologist!

Numerous anecdotes illustrate life on the farm. The life of the herd, the role of herbivores in the food chain, the cultivation and breeding of local breeds... are all possible themes. The visit is divided into two parts: a tour of the farm and an activity adapted to the age and theme chosen (in small groups under the supervision of an adult). For younger children, we discover how to find our way around the farm: seasons, space... are concepts that can be addressed. The programme is developed with teachers.

At the end of the visit, children and young people will know that they too can take action for a better future for the planet by becoming part of the living world. See, hear, smell and touch nature to remember !

As a former local councillor responsible for water, transport and waste management, I am familiar with the responsibilities of elected officials when it comes to the challenges facing our future.

Today, I want to share my experiences and insights with a variety of audiences (elected officials, farmers, etc.) so that, together, we can look to the future with confidence.

A meal featuring farm produce is available on request.

Because human activities (urbanisation, agriculture, infrastructure) have an impact on water, air, and flora and fauna, it is urgent that we learn to observe in order to understand this. The hedges, the type of crops, and the farming methods around us are clues. They put us on the right track. If we focus our attention on the natural world around us, we can finally understand.

Listen, look, and feel nature. Take a critical look at the landscape around us. Invite visitors to observe and question. Show them that animals and plants are part of a living whole that must be preserved for the future. Touch everyone's sensibilities and see them leave the farm with a different perspective—that is the programme for the visits!
