Guided tour of the Farm of Villarivon
(By groups, at the proposed times: 10:00, 14:00 and 16:00)
The discovery of the exterior and, inside the building, of the spaces formerly dedicated to agropastoral activity, will allow visitors to understand the progressive adaptation of the vernacular building of Upper Tarentaise, from the 17th to the 19th century, to the demands of the "revolution" Gruyère’s economy, while having sometimes allowed a few families enriched by the cheese and livestock trade, like the Jarre family in Villarivon, to record their socio-economic success in the context of this rural architecture.
On the heritage plan the visit of the Farm of Villarivon, registered MH since 2006 and dedicated emblematic site 2021 of the Heritage Mission for the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, will also allow visitors to appreciate the formal and technical characteristics of this building designed to withstand the harsh mountain climate and the scourge of fire, The restoration work planned over a period of 3 to 4 years will actually start in 2023.
