FR Ce pigeonnier, en bordure du ruisseau de Notre Dame, à Valensole est de forme carrée.
Si les pigeonniers rond, en Provence, sont traditionnellement des structures n'abritant que des pigeons et quelques fois de la volaille au rez-de chaussée, les pigeonniers carrés sont des constructions accueillant aussi les habitants.
Pour celui-ci, on voit bien que le rez-de chaussée et le premier étage étaient habitable par la présence de porte, de fenêtres et d'un petit balcon alors que la partie sous le toit accueillait les pigeons dont on voit toujours les entrées et quelques faïences sur les bords.
EN This dovecote, on the edge of the Notre Dame stream, in Valensole is square in shape.
If the round dovecotes, in Provence, are traditionally structures housing only pigeons and sometimes poultry on the ground floor, the square dovecotes are constructions also welcoming the inhabitants.
For this one, we can see that the ground floor and the first floor were habitable by the presence of door, windows and a small balcony while the part under the roof accommodated the pigeons whose entrances we can still see. and some earthenware on the edges.
(If known) Approximately how many pigeonholes in the dovecote?: 100
