Description

Built in 1805, this remarkable adobe and thatch structure is one of the finest examples of traditional architecture in the Voironnais region. The barn can be visited with a guide by prior arrangement.
With a double-wishbone frame and no central pillar support, this roof has been thatched since it was built in 1805. Designed to house the herds and winter feed of a very large farm, this intact building will take you on a journey through farming history from Napoleon 1st to the present day. During guided tours, you'll be offered a tasting/sale of jams made from the farm's fruit.
