Welcome to Frank and Sophie’s

Ferme la Contrée des Minis

At Ferme la Contrée des Minis, your stay takes place in a unique setting dedicated to discovering animals and nature. Located in the heart of the Moselle region, this educational farm welcomes families into a peaceful environment, looking onto the surrounding fields - an ideal place for curiosity, adventure, and quality time together.

Here, the farm has a clear mission: to reconnect young and old with nature and help them better understand why it is essential to protect it. Through encounters with miniature animals, children observe, approach, and learn without fear or pressure.
The orchard, vegetable garden, beehive, and natural pond are integral parts of the farm, serving as hands-on ways to discover biodiversity and the living world.

This committed approach has been recognised with an award: they were the 2024 winner of the Prix de l’Engagement Associatif, honouring its work in environmental education and sustainable development for families, children, and the wider public.

When it comes to accommodation, five fully equipped canvas hideaways allow guests to stay on site and enjoy the Feather Down glamping experience. They are set in an open area with views over the fields and a shared central space. Children’s play areas, barbecues at each tent, and walking trails starting directly from the farm complete this nature-filled stay - simple, authentic, and deeply restorative.

Your farm hosts: Franck & Sophie

Frank and Sophie are behind the creation of La Contrée des Minis. Together, they imagined and developed this unique educational site, dedicated to environmental education and raising awareness of the animal world.

Frank is a professional farmer and ensures the well-being of the animals, as well as running the agricultural and educational project. Sophie takes care of the administrative management and the smooth running of the farm.

During the season, they are supported by a team of activity leaders, who are present on the farm to supervise activities, welcome families, and bring the site to life on a daily basis. Together, they run a farm focused on discovery, the environment, and welcoming families.
