In Compton, the Fromagerie de la Station is more than just a cheese shop: it also offers several activities, including a bucolic outdoor interpretive tour. Inside, you will find an immersive room where you can experience the conditions of aging cheese: temperature, humidity and smells. There is also an organ of scents that will help you discover the olfactory essences present both on the farm and in the cheeses.

You can also visit the indoor portions to see other animals such as the hippos, lions and elephants. In addition, drop by the play areas and the souvenir shop to round out your great day at the zoo.
