Ferme de la forêt

Ferme de la Forêt, a 18th-century farm smells faintly of the past. The pyramid-shaped roof mitre and the museum signal history - or is it a twist?

The Ferme-musée de la Forêt is an 18th-century farm in Courtes, France. The farm is classified as a historical monument. A museum was created in 1972, allowing visitors to explore the farm and some surrounding areas. The 2nd stage of the Tour de l'Ain 2013 started at the Ferme de la Forêt. The farm's balcony-like gallery on the first floor is accessible via an external staircase. The traditional sarrazine chimney, made of wood and plaster, runs from the first floor to the roof. The entire farm, including the sarrazine chimney, is classified as a historical monument. The farm houses a museum today.
