The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Architecture typique des fermes du Larzac : les bâtiments se déploient en U autour d'une cour rectangulaire. Tous les bâtiments sont voûtés d'arêtes. L'accès se fait à la cour, par deux porches dont l'un communique avec les bâtiments d'habitation et l'autre avec les bergeries. La grande salle de la maison d'habitation initiale a conservé son potager, sa grande cheminée et son dallage. Le plafond de bois a été supprimé au profit d'une rochelle. La ferme ests alimentée en eau de pluie recueillie en citerne. L'évier se trouve dans une souillarde attenante à la grande salle. La ferme a également conservé son four à pain et ses souches de cheminée couvertes de schiste.

Architecture typical of the farms of Larzac: the buildings are arranged in a U shape around a rectangular courtyard. All the buildings are vaulted with groin vaults. Access to the courtyard is by two porches, one communicating with the residential buildings and the other with the sheepfolds. The great hall of the original residential house has retained its vegetable garden, its large fireplace and its paving. The wooden ceiling was removed in favour of a rood screen. The farm is supplied with rainwater collected in a cistern. The sink is located in a scullery adjacent to the great hall. The farm has also retained its bread oven and its chimney stacks covered with schist.
