Cordelle, Rhône 42123

An 18th-century farm complex looking down at meanders in the River Loire, near the town of Roanne. The house stands on a flat 3,635m² plot. You reach it via a covered carriage entrance that leads into an inner court. This different buildings are arranged around this inner court. The buildings are typical of the rural architecture of the local Forez province. They are laid out in a U shape. Each building had its purpose: a dwelling, a sheep shed, a cowshed, barns, a stable and a pig shed. Today, the home is made up of a main house with the old sheep and pig sheds renovated. The two barns have kept their original proportions. The stone elevations, the old timber roof frames and the positioning of the buildings all bear witness to the place's agricultural past. Facing east, south and west, the home is bathed in an abundance of natural light all year round.
