Description
When the Romans came to France, they brought their passion for pigeons with them. During the Middle-Ages, pigeonniers were reserved to the French lords, it had to be attached to the house.The dovecote was a privilege and a symbol of power and so its size always referred to the property owner's one. Pigeonniers therefore played a social role as they helped determine the social level of the landlord. After the French revolution and the privileges abolition many French people were infatuated with pigeonniers but the greater part of them was destroyed through ages. The ones that remain agreeably remind us of ancient times .
