The Ultimate Countryside Escape for Families
(7-minute read)
Petting zoos where children get to be with farm animals up close and personal provide some of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences. You can picture the sheer delight on your child’s face as they stroke and feed their favourite animals, can’t you? Combine this experience with pony trekking, and you’ll have crafted the ideal farm stay.
At Country Kids, we craft every moment to bring joy and excitement to your children, making it the ultimate family holiday destination. Pony rides and an onsite petting zoo help to create a magical escape. It’s not only for children, either. While your kids embark on unforgettable holiday adventures, you’ll discover the tranquillity that sets the scene for quality time in your relationship.
A Day in the Life at Country Kids: Where Adventure Awaits
At Country Kids, every day begins with the thrill of discovery. The early morning air is filled with the sounds of farmyard friends eagerly awaiting your child’s visit. Imagine their excitement as they start the day by finding chicken eggs, petting the mischievous goats, or feeding the most adorable piggies you’ll ever meet. Our petting zoo is a haven where children form bonds with animals, learning about kindness and care in the most hands-on way.
For many of the children who visit us, meeting our farm animals is a daily highlight that they will miss when they return home. Each of our animals is a star of the countryside:
- Apache the horse, with his gentle eyes and majestic stance, and his playful companions, the donkeys.
- Soleil and Neige, our lively goats, are always up to some antics, keeping everyone entertained.
- Peppa and Popcorn are always foraging for food.
Our animals are more than just residents. They are an integral piece of the Country Kids family, and will quickly become part of your children’s holiday story.
As the day progresses, the adventure continues with a huge range of child friendly countryside activities for the whole family. From nature walks to cycling and mountain biking, canoeing, picnics, swimming and poolside games, campfires and stargazing, there is always plenty to do at Country Kids – including pony trekking.

Only a 20-minute, scenic drive away from our resort and petting zoo, Roc Noir offers an exhilarating experience that your children will remember fondly forever. In this exclusive location where popularity is driven by word-of-mouth reviews (you won’t even find a website for them), your children can embark on pony treks through beautiful, winding trails, each one offering a new view of the stunning French countryside.
For the beginners, there are short, confidence-building rides. For the more adventurous, longer treks offer a taste of freedom that only a ride through nature can provide. This isn’t just about riding; it’s about creating a connection with these gentle creatures, all under the watchful eye of expert instructors who ensure safety and fun in equal measure.
Our partnership with Roc Noir is more than just convenient. It’s essential to creating the unforgettable experiences we promise with fun-packed activities for the whole family at Country Kids.

They also offer a wide range of activities beyond pony treks, including competitions and summer camps, where children can immerse themselves in the world of horses.
The professionalism and passion of Roc Noir’s team ensure that each child not only has a wonderful time, but also builds confidence and a lasting love for these majestic animals. These experiences don’t just create memories – they shape young lives, helping to foster a lifelong appreciation for nature and animals.
