Getting there
All about

La Ferme Caussenarde d'Autrefois

Young and old alike will have a great time discovering this place of singular charm, immersing themselves in a time when men and their herds lived in harmony with nature.

A parenthesis in time

La Ferme Caussenarde d’Autrefois is a private family home that was converted into an eco-museum by Marie and Armand Pratlong in the 1970s. The buildings were constructed from 1640 onwards, and today their grandchildren have taken over and offer tours of the 500m² site, divided into 21 rooms.

To discover the Caussenarde farm, you’ll be greeted by Hélène, the site’s manager, who will explain the site’s history and anecdotes from yesteryear in an entertaining way. What’s more, we’ve set up a children’s trail with a quiz to help them discover the site and follow the story of little Jules.

 

Discover ewe breeding and Fédou cheese-making with the neighboring farm “Des Brebis et des Hommes”, still in operation, which organizes tours and tastings (ticket coupled with the Ferme Caussenarde d’Autrefois).
