Le pigeonnier. <br />
<br />
Le pigeonnier est daté du XVIIᵉ siècle. La toiture en charpente a disparu. <br />
<br />
Il comporte un très grand nombre de boulins (niches à pigeons). La taille et la géométrie des boulins permet de dater le pigeonnier des XVIème au XVIIIème siècles. <br />
<br />
Sous l'Ancien Régime, le droit de colombier était l’une des prérogatives les plus jalousement gardées par la noblesse. Le nombre de boulins était souvent lié à l'importance foncière du domaine:<br />
<br />
- un pigeonnier de 500 boulins appartient déjà à un domaine relativement important ;<br />
- un pigeonnier dépassant 1 500 boulins traduit généralement une seigneurie disposant d'importantes terres.<br />
<br />
La corniche supérieure portée par des modillons, servait peut-être à empêcher l'entrée des prédateurs. <br />
<br />
<br />
L’élevage des pigeons fournissait non seulement une source de viande et d’œufs appréciée, mais aussi un engrais précieux pour les cultures sous forme de &quot;colombine&quot;. La colombine a été le meilleur engrais du Moyen-Áge. Chaque pigeon fournit de 2 à 3kg de colombine par an. Historiquement, une petite quantité de colombine possédait une forte valeur fertilisante (par exemple, 5 kg de colombine équivalaient à environ 100 kg de fumier classique).<br />

Fête de Paris 2026<br />
<br />
The parade at La Fête de Paris is a joyous spectacle of volunteers who come together to celebrate and re-enact various eras in France’s long and rich history. <br />
<br />
The participants go to amazing lengths to ensure every detail in their costumes is perfect. There were soldiers and chevaliers, war correspondents and French resistance fighters, girls from the roaring twenties, kings and ladies from royal courts and many more. <br />
<br />
These dancers were so elegant and I wanted to get as close as I could without being an obstacle so I got down low and tried to get the shot with the banner in the background... and then got out of the way as fast as I could as they whirled and twirled in the street!</p>
