Ani'nomade in Dijon: animals to heal ailments

Animals to Soothe Your Soul, Welcome to Ani'nomade

Let’s be honest: nothing beats the comfort of a wet nose or a little ball of fur looking at you with love. Animal therapy is all about creating a connection between humans and animals to calm the body and mind. That’s the mission of Ani'nomade, an association founded in 2010 by Claire Mongeot, a specialized educator with the Association of People with Disabilities in France. Since then, she has been working to bring wellness through animals.

Here, over 150 animals, from rabbits to sheep, including chickens and guinea pigs, not to mention : Loki the dog, the newest team member, is here to greet you with a smile (yes, we’re certain dogs can smile).
