Origin and history

The Jasserie Jean Marie is a building located in the commune of Saint-Pierre-la-Bourlhonne, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This type of construction, typical of mountainous areas, historically served as shelter for shepherds and their herds during summers. Jasseries were seasonal living places, often associated with cheese making and breeding.

In regions such as Saint-Pierre-la-Bourlhonne, jasseries played a central role in the pastoral economy. They allowed local communities to value the elevation pastures during the summer months. These buildings, often made of stone, reflect an architecture adapted to the climatic constraints and needs of farmers.
