Come and discover the educational farm "La maison des bêtes à laine", to caress our sweet sheep, wear, pamper and give the bottle to the lambs! And maybe with a little luck, you can attend one of the births!
La maison des bêtes à laine is a family affair.
Pierre and Faustine welcome you to share their passion for breeding.

By coming to meet them, you'll be able to observe the life of a flock of sheep in the mountains, in the Vallée de Cervières, a territory of mountain pastures tended for generations by the Bêtes à Laine.

In addition to discovering pastoralism and visiting the sheepfold, you'll learn all about "wool in all its forms", as sheep produce a fleece that we can transform for a variety of needs.
The visit to this educational farm, approved by the French Ministry of Education and the Bienvenue à la Ferme network, includes educational videos on the whole of the profession, total immersion in the sheep's winter living quarters, and finally a discovery of the stages involved in transforming wool "from fleece to yarn".

At the Maison des Bêtes à Laine, you can :
- Take part in wool discovery workshops - From fleece to yarn. (Workshop on request)
- Take part in farm visits, to discover Pierre and Faustine's passionate craft.
- Buy balls of wool to knit sweaters and accessories for your friends and family!
