As part of the National Architecture Days, Combloux offers a guided tour of the Ferme à Isidore and Caroline Lavorel’s exhibition, followed by a tasting of local products with guide Claire Tronchet.
As part of the National Architecture Days, the commune of Combloux invites you to a sensitive immersion into its living heritage, combining historic buildings, contemporary photography, and local flavors.
The visit, guided by Claire Tronchet, will begin on the ground floor of the Ferme à Isidore, which has remained almost unchanged since 1832. You will discover the layout of this emblematic pastoral building, a precious witness to Combloux’s rural architecture and the lifestyles linked to alpine farming. Each space tells the story of daily life in the past, highlighting ingenious design and adaptation to the mountain environment.
The experience continues in the barn with the exhibition “Fragments of Mountains” by Caroline Lavorel. In a special preview, the new series “Visages d’Altitude” honors the women and men who sustain Combloux pastoralism today. Through powerful and sensitive portraits, the photographer reveals the gestures, gazes, and commitments of these local actors.
These images resonate with a tasting of local products: cheeses, specialties, and farm productions featured in the exhibition accompany the portraits. A tangible and flavorful way to connect faces with flavors, celebrating heritage that is architectural, human, and agricultural.
A meeting point between memory and contemporary creation, where architecture becomes the setting for a living territory.
