Built in 1805, this remarkable adobe and thatch complex is one of the finest examples of traditional architecture in the Pays Voironnais. The barn can be visited by reservation with a guide.
A frame with double raised tie beams without the slightest central pillar support, this roof has been covered in thatch since its construction in 1805.
Designed to shelter herds and store winter food for a very large farm, this intact building will take you on a journey through rural history from Napoleon I to the present day.
During the guided tours, a tasting/sale of jams made with fruits from the farm will be offered to you.
