Aux Poils d’Assenay
How about visiting a farm… with an Alpaca? We’re not talking about going to Peru, but rather to Aux Poils d’Assenay. There, the Alpaca is king, feed him, and transform his hair into wool and his wool into crafts: an astonishing process, a total discovery in a universe far from the everyday. Here, each species has its own role in a well-established ecosystem: goats, sheep, rabbits… accompany the alpaca in its daily life. Definitely a must for those curious about nature and furry animals.
