Animals live at Villa Babouche; Beldi is a super-friendly dog, Mimosa and Topaze the donkeys in the house are penned up but can be let loose to the delight of young and old alike, Mimi la câline is a red cat that you can stroke without any problem and the many turtles roam the grounds (please take care not to crush them when travelling in your vehicle, thank you for them).
