Forget the present day for a few hours and take a trip into the marvellous world of wool.

This farm, set in a magnificent 6 ha site in the Margeride, introduces you to numerous species bred for their wool: alpacas, llamas, cashmere, angora and mohair goats, merino and ushant sheep, and many others.

As the visit progresses you will learn all the ins and outs of the shepherd's work: the history of sheep bells, shearing methods and how wool is worked.
