    So peaceful! Down a quiet track so though it wasn’t far off the motor way you couldnt hear it. We were in the barn, had both bedrooms which was ample for a family of 5. No access to cooking facilities but used the 24 pizza kiosk (!) in the nearby...

    Everything! Excellent hosts, beautiful friendly animals and clean and comfy tents. My daughter is nervous around dogs (and animals in general) and by the end of our 1 night stay she had fed the goats and llamas by hand, fed the donkeys and...

    Location was quiet, and just what we needed after 3 terms of teaching and lots of driving. Could've stayed here longer, but it was a stop over on way to Bordeaux. My kids (13,12 and 9) loved the pool and shared it with 2 families who were there...

    It's just a perfect place for the families with children. The hosts were friendly and flexible, the rooms we stayed were clean, nicely decorated, and really cozy. You can't see that it was once an old barn ;) The beds were very comfortable, too....

    The tent was so clean and smelled fresh. The beds and duvets were really comfortable and the pillows were great. The farm was so quiet and peaceful but the kids also had great fun lying in hammocks and petting the animals.

    Friendly helpful hosts. Lovely relaxing overnight stay on the way down to Bordeaux. Would be good for longer stay. I think young children would enjoy.

  • Hi is there a nearby restaurant for an evening meal or do you offer this? many thanks

    There are quite a few places to eat in our nearest town of Chateau du Loir - pizzerias, creperies, brasserie and hotels. The Hôtel de la Gare is highly recommended by locals as is Le Grand Hôtel (10 minutes)

  • Hi there, do your rooms have a private bathroom only shared facilities? Thanks, Corinna

    The Stable Suite has a private shower room with toilet... its called the king room on here but make sure you book the one that states it has a private bathroom - there are 2 rooms that booking calls the king room!
    Answered on 18 June 2023
  • Good morning. I would like to book a room but it said no parking available. Where can I park the car? Kind regards, Maite

    Hello! We have parking available! Lots of it! I will check our profile. We hope to see you soon Sarah and Nigel
    Answered on 24 November 2021
  • Hi! We are considering coming without our car. Take a train to Le Mans, then cab it to the farm or something. Is that a crazy idea? Especially wondering about our food options ... Is there a shop? And what options would we have to get to restaurants in the vicinity if we don't have a car?

    From Le Mans / Tours, get a train to Chateau du Loir - we can come and collect you / you can hire a bike / get a cab. We're 7km from town with plenty of restos and shops. The tents and lodge are self catering, we can collect groceries for you.

Company information

Welcome to Loire Valley Llama Farm Stay! We are a family-run farmstay located in Sarthe, France. Our mission is to provide our guests with an unforgettable and unique experience. We are passionate about the outdoors and love to share our knowledge of the area and its attractions with our guests. Our farm is home to a variety of animals, including llamas, goats, donkeys and chickens, which provides a truly unique experience.

We look forward to welcoming you to our farm and to helping you make the most of your trip!

Property information

Situated on 17 acres of meadows, woodlands, forest and beautiful gardens, Loire Valley Llama Farm is the perfect spot to escape to nature. Nestled at the end of a quiet country lane, our unique farm opens into a stunning valley where the llamas roam. Indeed, the locals have aptly named it La Vallée des lamas - the Valley of the Llamas. Whilst you're here, why not relax by the pool. Discover the woodland, meadows and forest that make up our farm. Listen to the llama chatter. Have adventures kayaking, zip lining or paddle boarding nearby. Explore the local market towns, charming rural villages and bustling cities of Le Mans and Tours only a 35-minute drive away. Visit the iconic circuit and museum at Le Mans or discover the legends of Africa at the Zoo de la Flèche. We offer a variety of comfortable but quirky accommodation, including our guests' favourite, the Llama Lodge. This converted ancient wine press is perfect for an unusual stay, and sleeps up to 4 people. Not only is the lodge equipped with a kitchenette and private shower, it also has a small window at the back where you can secretly watch the llamas as they play in their favourite area. Maybe you would prefer Glamping (glamorous camping) in one of our thoughtfully positioned, spacious belle tents overlooking the llama meadows? Equipped with real beds, cotton bedding, solar lighting and private outdoor gas showers, our glamping tents comfortably sleep a family of 4 ~ we can provide an additional floor mattress if you are a family of 5.  If, however, bricks and mortar are your thing, a stay in one of our beautiful Old Barn Rooms or the Stable Suite might be more to your taste. But whatever type of accommodation you choose, you will find everything here that you need for a peaceful and relaxing holiday or a brief, but memorable stop-over.
