A listed historic monument, this troglodyte dovecote is the only example of its kind in the Poitou-Charentes region.

A listed historic monument, this troglodyte dovecote is the only specimen of its kind in the Poitou region.

It is also difficult to determine the function of its vast, irregularly laid-out hall.
