With information about the forest being an area to explore, I’m slightly curious to know if either any of the maids, Anne, or even Marie had explored it before. If so that maybe one of them could lend some insight to know what to expect in there?

The Lambert Mansion is built in the heart of the French countryside. I bought the land, and Jean and his associates built the house.
There's a lake. Anne used to play in the water while Nala fished. It was one of her many passions...
There's a small fenced-off area with flowers and a fountain. Anne and I would talk about... her father.
There's a small ravine near the home as well. Anne was never allowed to go there.
Apart from that, there is nothing much. Just a small population of beastwomen. They know to keep away.

God, don't even get me started on food. I'm French~!
Okay, okay, let's see here... we grow our own herbs. It's much cheaper, especially these days. My personal favorite (non-sapient) dish is lamb. Whenever I have a rough day, Mika prepares me a delicious lamb dish with a glass of Sauternes wine. I could go on and on, but I should stay brief.
...My favorite sapient meal would have to be mousegirls. Unfortunately, the French mousegirl population is quite small. Because they get eaten. A lot.
Dr Lambert, you've likely sampled many of the beast people from the nearby forest, do any of them taste better than humans or are any of them tasty enough you would never turn down a chance to put one in ya beautiful belly?
P.S: You mentioned a Ravine? I assume things like Harpies live there? Is there any species you consider dangerous or those that are so harmless even a preyslut would struggle to be at any risk around one?

That's a good question, actually. I largely avoid the carnivores. Not that they'd eat me, or I'd eat them. We simply have a sort of unspoken agreement not to bother one another. With that said, we have a small population of deerwomen nearby, although not on the property itself. Just last year, one of them stopped my automobile and begged me to swallow her. Obviously, I obliged.
Ah, yes, the ravine. No, I'm afraid harpies are primarily native to Italy and the Mediterranean. And no species is really harmless. I've seen bunnygirls swallow some of my old maids in the past... and they're about 4 feet tall at most.
Foxes are pretty dangerous. They're ambush predators. The wolves aren't too bad. I'm friends with one... her name is Miss Louve.
