Discover the Ferme de la Forêt (in Bourg-en-Bresse) with your family
If you are passing through Burgundy, here is an activity that should please your whole tribe.
Come and discover an authentic half-timbered Bresse farm from the end of the 16th century. After several months of work, the site reopened to the public in 2024.
Located in the commune of Courtes, this museum, inhabited until the 1970s, is listed as a historical monument.
You will be able to learn about the lifestyles and know-how of yesteryear.
As soon as you arrive, you will be charmed by the main building with its half-timbered gallery and its mysterious Saracen fireplace.
The atmosphere that reigns in the house around the hearth is an invitation to travel. You will be able to see many everyday objects from yesteryear.
The little ones will be delighted to continue the visit to the barn where a large collection of old tools and agricultural machinery awaits them.
Outside, feel free to stroll in the park or near the pond.
On your route you can visit the orchard and the vegetable garden and its corn, hemp and flax crops.
Children can also use the giant wooden games available in the park.
Several activities are organized throughout the year for children.
Thus, they will be able to benefit from themed and fun visits such as learning traditional trades, meeting artisans and local producers or understanding construction methods.
From the age of 8, they will be able to slip into the shoes of an international agent of heritage energy and solve investigations. To do this, a digital tool can be downloaded onto your phone.
This moment of relaxation with your family will allow you to create good memories with your children!
