Origin and history

The Ferme du Clos Parchet, located in Samoëns in Haute-Savoie, is a traditional farm built in 1815, representative of the agro-pastoral architecture of the region. Today, it houses an ecomuseum rich in over 2,000 inventoried objects, all from the surrounding area, offering a coherent testimony for the ethnological study of local practices. The eco-museum is aimed particularly at schools, with regular guided tours and participatory workshops to transmit this living heritage.

Acquised in 1977 by Simone Dechavassine, a Parisian woman engaged in educational classes, the farm is renovated according to traditional techniques. Together with her husband Pierre Dechavassine, she was inspired by the eco-museum concept developed by George Henri-Rivière in the 1960s and 1970s. Simone joins the Société des Masons de Samoëns and trains with the Guides du Patrimoine des Pays de Savoie to carry out this project. Together, they founded the Association Les Amis de la Ferme du Clos Parchet and in 1994 obtained permission to open the site to the public.

The couple expanded the ecomuseum in 1995 with the purchase of a nearby farm, creating a dedicated reception space. The collections are enriched by donations and the family collection of Pierre Dechavassine, reaching a thousand more objects. Guides of the Savoy Country Heritage join the team to animate the visits. In 2007, the farm was listed as historic monuments, recognizing its heritage and educational importance.
