This was our last full day at Frejus, and we wanted to go and see if this farm was very different from the one we visited last year, and it was, their whole ethic was to preserve the tortoise in its natural environment, having tortoises as pets was very discouraged, which is a shame as I would like one ! (or two!!)
They have a clinic, which had several tortoises which had been half eaten by dogs when we were there. Also they have a breeding program, ( as you can see !!) and release tortoises back into the wild. I was very impressed that after feeding time, (which we arrived just after) the staff cleaned all the food away afterwards, with a separate dustpan and brush for each enclosure.
If you would like to know more about them there is a web site http://www.villagetortues.com/ which has a lot of information on it.
I like this one where the “lady” tortoise already has her cigarette :O)
