THE CAUSSENARDE FARM OF YESTERYEAR

Open to the public for... more than 40 years, the Caussenarde Farm is a treasure trove of heritage to be discovered absolutely, and particularly with the family. The children will not fail to be interested by this testimony of the old times and the practices of formerly. Neither dusty nor old-fashioned, this farm gathers a digest of a cultural and human heritage which is precious for understanding the landscapes of Lozère and the local architecture. The reconstruction of a farm interior, with furniture and utensils, the farm buildings and the bread oven, etc. give an idea of the life of the farmers in the 19th century. The work in the fields, the making of cheese or bread, the breeding of sheep, the architectural know-how are all evoked. This eco-museum bears witness to these ancient generations in the Causse region in a very lively and sensitive way. Even more lively, the visit coupled with that of the Fédou cheese factory still in activity with an animation and a tasting is to be done in group only and on reservation. A perfect illustration if you want to better understand why the area is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To complete the visit, a book and a film are on sale in the shop, as well as a DVD dedicated to the Amélineau cave, discovered in 1980 nearby, which has the particularity of containing the longest known fistulous concretions in the world, but whose fragility forbids any visit. Shop and picnic area.
