[E] Despite these medieval paces, this circular pigeon would have been built in ... 1921!
It depends on the Castle of Bel-Air built at the same time.

In 2015 its roof was completely redone (see photos of the works).

His skylight is fenced but pigeons nest under the edges of the roof, taking pictures, I heard them cooing!

[F] Malgré ces allures moyenâgeuses, Ce pigeonnier circulaire n'aurait été construit qu'en… 1921 !
Il dépend du Château de Bel-Air qui date de la même époque.

En 2015 sa toiture a été entièrement refaite (voir photos des travaux).

Sa lucarne d'envol est grillagée mais des pigeons nichent sous les bords de la toiture, en prenant les photos, je les ai entendu roucouler !
