Course of the day :
- Pumpkin workshop
Pumpkin "hollowing" workshop (provided) lasting 30 to 45 minutes (sheltered in case of bad weather).
Children choose the pumpkin of their choice, and an animator places the family on a table to begin cutting out the pumpkin's hat. The animator leaves you to your own devices, with the task of hollowing out the pumpkin.
Once the inside of the pumpkin is clean, an animator from the farm comes to carve the pumpkin (the pumpkin's eyes, nose and mouth...).
You can bring your own spoons for digging, and a felt-tip pen to draw the pumpkin of your dreams.
Possible for children aged 3 and over, with the help of an adult.
- Visit the Farm and discover the animals (before or after your pumpkin workshop)
Sheep, dwarf alpine goats known for their tenderness, 850-kilo Andalusian mare and Vanille & Chocolat our ponies who accompany Andalusian in the summer meadows. You can also discover rabbits, donkeys and pigs on the Educational Farm.
You can also visit the educational trails in the woods.
- Visit the mazes (closed in case of rain).
- Gourmet Corner
Pancakes, coffee, hot chocolate, hot apple juice with cinnamon, on sale on site to reward your efforts.
An adult must be present for the workshop and farm visit. Children are under the responsibility of accompanying adults.
Once a reservation has been made, the activity schedule is firm and cannot be changed.

Too expensive for what's on offer. 15€ per child to cut a pumpkin... for info at the pick-your-own just next door the same pumpkin is sold for 6,50€...

Hello, Really pointless! I would have bought my pumpkin myself and made all three, it would have been the same thing. Except I would have been hot and paid less. A real rip-off!

It's nothing like their bread workshop, where you're on your own for a quarter of an hour for 15 euros, which is very profitable for Gailly.

Not enough staff, too much waiting. Complicated you have to show your gally card... And adults shouldn't have to pay.

We were disappointed by this activity, which lasted barely 15-20 minutes. There's no real animation around the creation of the Halloween pumpkin (as there can be on other workshops), which is a shame. It's a high price to pay for such a short activity.

The pumpkin workshop was great. The children (aged 5 and 6) really enjoyed it, and they were delighted to leave with their work. What's more, the young people who helped were charming, friendly and patient. The visit to the farm was very pleasant, and the children were able to touch the animals and run around in the wooded areas - perfect. On the other hand, I (and the children) didn't enjoy the show. I found it unsuitable for children: a man drinking whisky (even Irish whisky...) is not the best image to give to children, the texts were incomprehensible to children and the Italian actor had a very pronounced accent, which made it difficult to understand. But the first 2 points made for a very good afternoon.

Catastrophic organization. Apparently they take everyone with no restrictions, so there were far too many of us for the number of activity leaders and the space available. We had booked for 2.30pm and waited for 1h in the cold (lucky it wasn't raining!) when we finally had access to the barn and were able to start our activity. Then it was time for the show (I'd been told on the phone that there's a show every 30 minutes, but when we got there there were 2 shows, one at 3pm and the other at 4:30pm). We were 3 adults and one child. 2 adults had to stay outside and were unable to attend the show due to lack of space. This is outrageous as we paid full price for these two adult tickets. I really don't recommend this place.

too many people at the chosen time of 4pm. The organization could have been more efficient

We did the pumpkin workshop. Very disappointed with the service. When the pumpkin was being cut up, the instructor broke it. And my daughter wasn't allowed to make another one.
