Family roots and love of place

In Mailleroncourt-Charette, François and Chantal welcome us to the Parc à l’anglaise de la Cude, a family estate dating back to 1880 and enriched by generations.

Further afield, in Saint-Bresson, Perrine and Pierrot raise Angora goats with a rare sense of care, on their educational farm Les P’tits Sentiers Ân’imés. They tell the story of the 1,000 Étangs with passion and gentleness, during a boat trip on their pond.

Emotions and anecdotes

At La Cude, rare trees have been planted by our ancestors, including a century-old false cypress. A barefoot trail invites you to rediscover your senses.

At Les P’tits Sentiers Ân’imés farm, there’s a whole world of wool, cuddles, history and love… and names given to the goats: come and meet Jennifer, Rihanna and Johnny!

Pierrot jokes: “I love my wife. My wife loves goats. So I’ve learnt to love goats”.

Their secret? “We sell silence.”
