The Franche-Comté farms and their characteristic chimneys Pays Horloger

Visiting a Franche-Comté farm is a great opportunity to understand the lifestyles of farmers in the Montagnes du JuraTo do this, you need to go to a village in Pays Horloger, Grand'Combe-Châteleu, where many typical farms are preserved. The history of these farms is linked to the know-how of salting practiced in the tuyé.

What is killed or killed?

The farms of Franche-Comté are recognizable by their large roofs who must support the snow and contain the fodder necessary for cows during the winter.

Le tipped is the other particularity of our farms. From the outside, the tuyé is a chimney with an atypical shape. Inside, the tuyé is the central piece which is sometimes still today the place where we smoke the meat, especially sausages from Morteau, hams, bresi. The name tuyé, which is also written “tué” or “tuhé”, comes from the pig that has been “killed” to be prepared and put for salting and smoking.
