argenton alpacas

We had a great time with the kids visiting the alpaca farm. We had a guided tour and we spent about an hour and half there. The owners were great. We didn't know anything about alpacas and after welcoming us they told us briefly what to expect from Alpacas and how to behave around them. Then we found that not only were we going for a walk around the park but that we will be meeting them as well! We went in to a couple of enclosures. The first one had mums and babies and they came running over to us. We able to feed them and some of them took their food from our hands. The babies were really cute. The owner brought a baby to us and we were able to touch it and feel it's amazingly soft fleece. We went into another enclosure where there were some alpacas were really friendly and this gave us the opportunity to get some great shots of the kids cuddling some alpacas. As we walked around the enclosures the owners answered our questions and gave us lots of insights into the lives of Alpacas. What amazed me was how each had their own personalities. At the end of the walk we saw a display of Alpaca products from the raw fleece to the finished product. The kids bought a souvenir and I was given a raw fleece sample to take home with me. We had a really pleasant hour and half and know so much about alpacas. They are so cute that we almost sneaked one into the car!

Les propriétaires/éleveurs nous ont réservé un très bon accueil, leurs explications ont été claires, ils ont fait beaucoup d'efforts pour s'exprimer dans un français adapté alors qu'ils sont anglais.Les animaux sont superbes et bien traités, nous avons pu les approcher pendant la visite.Bottes à conseiller +++++++++++Très bon souvenir de cette découverte à conseiller....
