The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le pigeonnier est implanté au-dessus d'une résurgence sur un arc maçonné. Il est de facture très vernaculaire et sa date de construction se situe entre le 17ème et le 19ème siècle. C'est également le cas du mur de la retenue d'eau, mis en place pour alimenter un petit moulin dont il ne reste que des ruines. Ce modèle d'adaptation à la géomorphie locale avec des utilisations multiples des ressources semble unique en son genre.

History
The dovecote is built above a resurgence on a masonry arch. It is of very vernacular workmanship and its construction date lies between the 17th and 19th centuries. The same is true of the water retention wall, put in place to supply a small mill of which only ruins remain. This model of adaptation to local geomorphology with multiple uses of resources appears to be unique of its kind.
