Description
The Clastre farm takes its name from “cloister”. In fact, it was originally a building intended to house the monks of the Monastier Abbey. They were responsible for supervising the faithful of the parish of Sainte-Eulalie in the Middle Ages.
This building is divided into two parts: the paillhisse covered with broom, and the Cayrat (or main building), covered with lauzes. It was originally connected to the church by a passage whose arcade was still visible a short time ago.
In 1980, the association became the owner of the Clastre farm, in Sainte-Eulalie, formerly a non-conventual priory dependent on the Vellave abbey of Saint-Chaffre du Monastier. The dwelling – Queyrat, in the local patois – is covered with lauzes, while the hayloft has a traditional broom roof. This Clastres farm is all the more emblematic as it remains the last thatched cottage in an Ardèche village. Classified as a historical monument in 1984, its roof has undergone several restoration campaigns, including a new one in 2011.
