It's said that Santa Claus and his elves stop off at the Bergerie every year to offer a whole host of activities for children. A Christmas crib with farm animals, pom-pom-making activities (using wool from the farm's sheep), milking cows, a visit to discover the sheep or a meeting and photo session with Santa Cl aus: you've got everything you need for a wonderful afternoon in Rambouillet during the 2023 Christmas vacations.

What's more, the Mérinos Café - the Bergerie's café - is also getting into the spirit of the children's favourite holiday, and will be serving up warm snacks all day long. Hot chocolate with good milk from the farm, crêpes and home-made pastries... It's sure to be a magical Christmas at the Bergerie Nationale de Rambouillet, and that's without counting the Christmas market to be held on site on Sunday December 10, topped off by a fireworks display!
