You will be welcomed in the upper room, formerly reserved for pigeons, after the climb of the few steps of the staircase taken in the thickness of the wall. You will discover, at your ryhtme, the three lives of the Colombier:
-that of a seigneurial dovecote, from 1375 to the Revolution,
-that of a forgotten farm building, disfigured and eventually moved,
-that of a listed monument, open to the 21st century, and well decided to last.
You can appreciate the quality of the identical restoration carried out in the 80s.
Expect a visit of 30 to 40 minutes.
This visit raises many reflections and questions about the contemporary history of the Colombier: its classification, its displacement or the choice of its current location.
A recent exhibition takes stock of these half-century-old events: “A Colombier en héritage”, presented in the lower room of the monument.
