The Sitazin museum
About 45 km from Bourges, a very unusual museum, since, inaugurated in 2011, it is entirely dedicated to the donkey!
On 350 m², in an old barn with an awning, you will discover it through the ages, with its history, mixed with that of men.
You will also find it in the literature (Ah... the memories of a donkey, of the Countess of Segur!), in the song, in the cinema... in short, a playful and didactic staging too.
And then, outside, you will be able to admire, and to compare the ones with the others, donkeys representing the seven races of donkeys listed in France. It is unique to be able to see them together, the Grand Noir donkey of Berry, the donkey (or baudet) of Poitou, the donkey of Provence, the donkey of the Pyrenees, the donkey of Cotentin, the Norman donkey and the Bourdonnais donkey!
Finally, young and old can then get down to business, with workshops and rides!
Activities and discoveries
Beyond this museum, the Pôle du cheval et de l'âne offers you a whole range of activities and discoveries... the "long reins" workshop, which makes you recognize the different expressions of the horse and teaches you how to guide it yourself, the "compet'mania", challenges and friendly and family games on maneuverability with donkeys, carriage rides, rides on a pack-saddle donkey, equestrian infrastructures...
You can spend surprising and enriching moments, which you can also extend over several days by choosing to rent one of the 56 cottages (including a cottage for disabled people) and, why not, explore the region from there!
