“Grenier fort” (strong attic)

Born from the ingenuity of master carpenters, “strong attics”, like the one overlooking the house to your left, is also a testament to the High-Jura’s memory. Both a pantry and a safe, these attics contained grain, food and seeds, as well as a wardrobe, precious objects, tools, writings and essential goods, protected from fire and far from greedy eyes. Its walls are often adorned with crop accounting records, climate calendars and family events. Would you like to visit a strong attic? Head to the Maison du Parc in Lajoux.
