,,It was in 1783 that Louise XVI bought the field

of Rambouillet for his cousin the Duke of Penthievre to make

A field of hunting of it. But it was also the time of apiculture.

Thus it was the beginning of an experimental farm.

This second vocation of the field is concretized by the construction

of the „large farm”In 1785. This double function will remain always the base

During our stay in France we visited

‘The National Sheep Farm’.

First we visited a

cowshed.

Then we went to a big sheep barn.

Inside we saw a lot of sheep. They were white, black or black and white. There are many races of

sheep and cows bred on the farm.

There were also five horses and the donkey (the

sweetest creature in the world!).

In a separate building there were also goats, rabbits, ducks and very big pigs.

Our students were very interested in the sheep

farm. What an encounter!

I like it!
