4 p.m.: Guided tour of the Ferme de la Forêt à Courtes
Classified as a Historic Monument in 1930, the Ferme de la Forêt is a very fine example of a half-timbered and cob Bressian farm from the end of the 16th century. The main building bears witness to traditional architecture with its admirable gallery with cruciform motifs serving as a balcony and its mysterious Saracen fireplace with its miter in the shape of a pyramidal bell tower of Romanesque inspiration. Special feature: the well equipped with a double crank recalling that the farm was divided between two sisters whose understanding was not very cordial. The renewed tour route will discuss food, construction techniques and agricultural activities.
Finally, a break outside is ideal for strolling around the vegetable garden, the orchard with its old varieties and the corn and hemp crops.
Guided tour of the Bresse farmhouse, admirably preserved around its Saracen fireplace.

5:30 p.m. : End of excursion
Full-day distance: 15 km
