On the Way of St. James in Spain you can occasionally see similar constructions, which, however, do not represent pigeon houses, but used to serve as granaries. The essential detail of these buildings - standing on stilts - is the flat, plate- or lid-shaped end at the top of the supporting columns. This was of vital importance in ancient times, as they represent an insurmountable obstacle for voracious rodents such as mice or rats.

The highlight are the two bells, you can ring them yourself.

Lauzerte is a magnificent fortified medieval city perched on top of a hill. Lauzerte is a very picturesque town and offers spectacular views of the surroundings.

The elevated village of Lauzerte, classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France and a stopover on the route to Santiago de Compostella, dominates the valleys and hills of the Quercy Blanc. Nicknamed the Toledo of Quercy, this medieval bastide, founded in 1241 by the Count of Toulouse, is home to a beautiful square with cornières in its city center, surrounded by old stone houses with wooden facades. At one of the ends, a surprising work of art – the curled corner – gives a particularly original touch to the whole! Next door, the Saint-Barthélemy Church deserves a visit for its beautiful Baroque altarpiece in gilded wood.

A very well preserved pigeon house. Pigeons were very popular and great efforts were made to protect pigeons from rats. The construction of the 4 pillars is very interesting. The fungal pads made it impossible for the rats to get in and eat the pigeons' eggs.

A really beautiful market square surrounded by arcades. The church of St-Barthélemy was built in the 13th century and was heavily modified and enlarged in the 16th century. Many of the facades date from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Most are beautifully renovated. Lauzerte is located on a hill and can be seen from afar. It was a defensive situation in the Middle Ages. During the Hundred Years' War, this place was expanded into a fortified village (bastide). Lauzerte was an important guard post on the route between Cahors and Moissac in the 12th century.
