Les ânes de Monédies
Discover Aveyron at the pace of a donkey. This gentle, willing companion carries your luggage and young children for unforgettable hikes with family and friends through unspoilt countryside and an exceptional heritage.
Aveyron at donkey pace
Forget the watch and let yourself be guided by the steady, sure steps of our pack donkeys. Whether you're on a day trip or a multi-day itinerary, hiking with a donkey is much more than a walk: it's a privileged encounter with nature and a companion with a big heart
The donkey is the ideal partner to turn hiking into a fun, shared experience. Gentle, patient and willing, they quickly become the confidants of the little ones and the best allies of the older ones:
Luggage-carrying: Walk with a clear head! Your companion takes care of your equipment and picnic.
Helping young hikers: When little legs get tired, the donkey takes over and carries your young children.
Immerse yourself in the heart of the Aveyron countryside
Take a stroll along character-filled trails, where every turn reveals a preserved heritage: dry-stone walls, traditional jasses and wilderness.
Our tailor-made packages
Donkey ride (1 day): Ideal for a first approach, enjoy a picnic in the heart of nature after an introduction to grooming and driving our long-eared companion.
L'Échappée Belle (2 to 3 days): A guaranteed break from the daily grind, with selected stops in farm yurts, tents, tipis, gîtes and small, picturesque hotels.
Nomad Expedition (4 days or more): For total immersion, where you become one with your donkey and the landscape.
Initiation & safety rules: Before each departure, we teach you the safety rules and instruct you in the care of your donkey (grooming, harnessing, feeding and watering). You then set off on your own with a detailed topo-guide and our best route advice: Animal welfare first and foremost
For us, the donkey is more than just a carrier, it's a partner in life. We attach the utmost importance to their health and balance:
Respect for rhythm: Our donkeys may work, but they have regular rest days.
Adapted equipment: Each pack-saddle is carefully adjusted to avoid injury or discomfort.
Limited load: We strictly respect the maximum weight carried (luggage + child) to protect their backs.
Connection and care: Before each departure, we teach you the gestures of kindness (brushing, hoof-cleaning, reading behavior) so that the relationship between you and the donkey is based on trust and mutual respect.
