Welcome to the P’tit Monde des Grands

So, what do you want to be when you grow up? That’s the question you’ve all heard and to which you’ve always answered something different every time.

That’s why the new P’tit Monde des Grands museum offers your children a unique place to imagine themselves as airline pilots, cooks, police officers, grocery store owners... all while having lots of fun!

Experience Life on the Farm at the Verger Champêtre

Spend a sunny afternoon with the whole family at the Verger Champêtre, cuddling some of the cute animals on the miniature farm. You can even reserve a mini horse or alpaca for a ride through the apple, pear, plum and cherry orchards. This is a pick-your-own farm! And if you’re feeling a bit hungry, treat yourself to a lunch made with the farm’s products for a 100% local picnic.
