Origin and history

La Ferme du Paquis, located in the commune of Réchésy, is a monument whose precise origins are not documented in the available sources. Its name and location suggest an agricultural vocation, typical of the rural constructions of the region. Farms like Paquis played a central role in the economy and social life of the countryside.

In Burgundy-Franche-Comté, these farms were often organized around an inner courtyard, combining habitats, barns and stables. Their architecture reflected the practical needs of local people, mainly dedicated to agriculture and livestock.
