Ferme du Clos-Parchet, farm museum in Samoëns, France

Ferme du Clos-Parchet is a two-level farmhouse of 1815 in Samoëns, Haute-Savoie. Its lower level is roughcast in light grey, with a small window, a red-shuttered window and a door; the upper level is clad in vertical dark brown wooden boards, with a wooden balcony along the left side whose railing carries dark letters reading "...CO-MUSEE". A metal gutter pipe runs above the balcony, and climbing plants grow on the facade.

The farm dates from 1815. In 1977 Simone Dechavassine (née Duprat), a Parisian who ran educational classes, and her husband Pierre bought it and restored it using traditional techniques, inspired by the écomusée concept of museologist Georges Henri Rivière. The association of the Amis de la Ferme du Clos Parchet obtained prefectoral authorisation to open the building to the public in 1994, and the farm was inscribed as a monument historique in 2007.

The farm takes its name from the Clos Parchet plot in Samoëns. Since 1994 the association Les Amis de la Ferme du Clos Parchet has run it, and Simone Dechavassine trained with the Guides du Patrimoine des Pays de Savoie, who now lead guided tours. School groups are central to the project, with participatory workshops for children alongside the visits.

The farm stands in Samoëns, Haute-Savoie, and the building was opened to the public in 1994 after prefectoral authorisation. The couple bought the neighbouring farm in 1995 to create a reception area, so guided tours and school workshops now start from that space. Many Guides du Patrimoine des Pays de Savoie lead the visits.

The collection holds over 2,000 tools and objects including old plows, kitchen utensils, and equipment used for crafts and daily chores. Visitors can touch and feel the textures of these items and materials, giving them a direct sense of the skills and effort required to work with stone, wood, and simple tools.
