This farmhouse is very special: it's built taking advantage of the natural shelter of a large rock and is located next to the Fontscalents stream. This spot has been home to different generations for over a thousand years, from medieval times until very recently, making it a place steeped in history. Although its name is already mentioned at the end of the 12th century, the building that stands today is the result of later renovations, especially from the 17th and 18th centuries. Some dates engraved in the stone still offer clues to these works. The façade, with its irregular and rustic appearance, blends elements of well-worked stone with simpler walls made of rubble and mortar.
