The Ferme-musée de la Forêt is a XVIIe siècle Bresse farm in Courtes, France. The farm is classified as a historical monument and is private property.
A museum was created in 1971, allowing visitors to explore the farm and some surrounding elements. The 2nd stage of the Tour de l'Ain 2013 started at the Ferme de la Forêt.
The building features an exterior gallery on the first floor, accessible via an external staircase. The traditional sarrazine chimney, made of wood and torchis, runs from the first floor to the roof. The pyramid-shaped mitre was redone in 1935. The entire farm, including the sarrazine chimney, was classified as a historical monument by a decree on October 11, 1930. The farm houses a museum of Bresse tools and furniture.
