Description
The Clastre farm takes its name from "cloister." Indeed, it was originally a building intended to house the monks of the Monastier Abbey. They provided guidance to the faithful of the parish of Sainte-Eulalie during the Middle Ages.
This building consists of two parts: the thatched roof, covered with broom, and the Cayrat (or main building), covered with slate tiles. It was originally connected to the church by a passageway, one arch of which was still visible until recently.
In 1980, the association became the owner of the Clastre farm in Sainte-Eulalie, a former non-conventual priory dependent on the Velay abbey of Saint-Chaffre du Monastier. The dwelling — the queyrat, in local dialect — is covered with lauzes, while the hayloft has a traditional broom roof.
The Clastre 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 been the subject of several restoration campaigns, including a new one in 2011.
