The best local producers Saint-Cyr-L'Ecole

At the gateway to the park of the Château de Versailles, the Ferme de Gally is a former priory that has played an important agricultural role in the Paris beltway for centuries. Established by the fathers of the Sainte-Geneviève du Mont abbey, it once provided a relay of livestock and fresh produce, grain and hay for the growing Paris market. Since the ^mid-18th century, the Laureau family has been in charge of farming. Today, the farm is divided into 4 sectors of activity: self-service picking on over 40 hectares, comprising an orchard and vegetable garden; the "open farm", an educational farm enabling children to approach and familiarize themselves with the animals (cows, horses, pigs, hens, ducks, goats....) and discover nature through fun, hands-on workshops (making apple juice, bread dough and butter, extracting honey from the hive, working with animal footprints, gardening sessions...); a garden center area with a decorating boutique; and also a grocery section. It's the ideal place to stock up on fresh produce, but also to enjoy a brunch or a snack at the café or crêperie, which, of course, cooks only farm products. You can also take part in cooking classes, or for the younger ones, organize a birthday party. An original address, very popular in fine weather. There's also another farm in Sartrouville: Les fermes de Gally!
