Birdwatching
Many visitors to Ferme Christine have enjoyed  the wide variety of birds and butterflies which can be seen here.  Relax by the pool while watching a red kite soar overhead or for the
serious birdwatcher visit the Domaine des Oiseaux, 20 minutes away at Mazeres. 
This lakeside site has hides, walks and an interpretation
centre with English speaking ornothologists and
fabulous remote controlled video cameras for close up
birdwatching.
