From the Île de la Cité to theÎle des impressionnistes in Chatou, via theÎle Saint-Denis, the Seine is dotted with small islands, most of them pedestrian, with pretty parks built around them. Near Mantes-la-Jolie, in the Yvelines department, you'll find Île l'Aumône, at the entrance to an immense 27-hectare ornithological park, home to the town's educational farm.
The Mantes-la-Jolie educational farm is located in this exceptional environment, populated by wild birds such as grey herons and mallard ducks, which you can observe from the park's observatory. In all, there are no fewer than 296 residents, feathered, furry, two-legged or four-legged, for your little ones to pet and observe all afternoon long. With chickens, geese, ducks, rabbits, pigs, goats, sheep, donkeys and horses, you and your family can (re)discover farm animals and their babies!
