discovering the donkeys of Provence

In a small village in the Alpes-Maritimes, at the entrance to the Mercantour park, Sabrina became a donkey breeder eight years ago. Provence donkeys are an endangered breed. They are very affectionate and love to be cuddled. Formerly a saleswoman, Sabrina has made her atypical passion a full-time job. From now on, she offers tourists the opportunity to take walks in the relief of the Mercantour with her donkeys.

Sabrina also has another professional activity, but always with the help of her donkeys. Thus, she makes soap with their milk. “I’m a fan of natural cosmetics. I said to myself, well, we’re going to make our donkey’s milk soap”, explains the breeder. Its products are sold in stores, such as in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes). The reputation of donkey’s milk dates back to antiquity. Legend has it that Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, even took baths in it.
