This house was rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th century, with a beautiful stone facade featuring regular rows of stone, in keeping with the skills of our old masons who were concerned with "fine work". This house was once a winegrower's house, with its cellar entrance to the right of the perron staircase. Vineyards were once a very important part of Orcevaux's local economy, accounting for up to 35.2 hectares of the area in 1773, with vineyards being the main source of income alongside livestock and crafts under the Ancien Régime. Winegrowers still accounted for almost 18% of the village's population in 1881, just before the arrival of phylloxera, which destroyed the entire local vineyard. Today, vines have all but disappeared from the village, replaced by orchards, which have been the reason for the village's "Cherry Festival" for nearly thirty years.
