The Flagey farm belonged to the family of the painter Gustave Courbet .

The Courbet family farm today
Today there is a museum, an exhibition hall and a guesthouse in the courtyard. The courtyard is surrounded by a well-designed vegetable garden in which a large number of plant species can be seen. Entry is free.
The largest and most important room in the courtyard is the old barn, which was set up as a hall for special exhibitions. Exhibitions and some other cultural events are held in the barn.
The Courbet family's farm has also been offering accommodation since 2010, in the form of three guest rooms. There is also a literary café, the “Café de Juliette”, named after the painter's sister, where you can consume regional products and at the same time take part in works about Courbet and other subjects related to the painter such as art and politics of the 19th century Century can scroll.
