Planons Farm, Historic farm in Saint-Cyr-sur-Menthon, France

Planons Farm is a Bresse farmstead whose five buildings stand around a closed square courtyard reached by a passou. The 1490 house has a timber frame on brick carrons with wattle-and-daub infill, while the 19th-century stables and barns are pisé on stone or brick. Its roofs are canal tiles on oak trusses, and the gallery posts and arched ground floor match the photograph.

The dwelling house was built in 1490 with a sarrasine chimney and a servants' room. Two chambers were added in 1603, and the levier was created west of the building in the early 1700s. The five buildings were classified as monuments historiques in 1938; the last farmers left in 1992 and restoration ran until 1995.

The house holds a reconstruction of the belongings of ploughman-farmer Benoît Chaffol, based on a 1784 notarial inventory after his death. Rooms staged as the master's chamber, the servants' room, the kitchen and the washhouse show how Bresse farmers lived. In the outbuildings, a poultry room is devoted to the famous Bresse chicken.

The five buildings stand around a closed square courtyard entered through a "passou" passageway. The house can be visited with a reconstruction of the 1784 belongings of farmer Benoît Chaffol, and the outbuildings hold farm equipment, tactile models and panels on Bresse building techniques. The farm lies in the hamlet of La Mulatière within the Domaine des Saveurs - Les Planons.

The farm appears in a 1973 television film, La main enchantée, directed by Michel Subiela and adapted from a Gérard de Nerval story, where it served as the setting for a country banquet and wedding scene. The house also holds a reconstruction of the belongings of ploughman-farmer Benoît Chaffol, based on a 1784 post-mortem inventory.
