Origin and history
La Ferme du Tiret is a farm located in Foissiat, in the department of Ain, in the region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. This site is remarkable for its traditional architecture, including its sarrazine fireplace, a rare and emblematic element of the rural constructions of the region. The farm, still in operation, illustrates the local agricultural heritage and its evolution throughout the centuries.
The farm was listed as a historic monument on 30 April 1925 for its sarrazine chimney and its mitre, then classified on 12 January 1945 for its roof and the off-comble stump of the same chimney. These successive protections underline its heritage importance. Today, the site remains an active farm, open to visits by appointment, allowing you to discover a place where history and agricultural modernity meet.
The Bresse region, where Foissiat is located, is historically marked by a strong agricultural tradition. Farms like Tiret played a central role in the local economy, combining livestock, crops and community life. These operations were often organized around functional buildings, designed to withstand climatic conditions and facilitate daily work. The sarrazine chimney, typical of some regions, served both as a heating and cooking system, reflecting the ingenuity of old techniques.
