Many who drive in regions see funny shaped ‘pigeon houses’ dotted in the middle of farm fields. Some are new, some are old; some are renovated, some are dilapidated.
But they all have a distinct, different character.
There are three main reasons why these ‘houses’ are set out alone all by themselves: pigeons need tranquillity, and peace. And it’s advisable to keep the houses away from wells or drinking water used by the farm. Also the farmers set them distinctly away from the main house to ‘show off’ their pride and joy. It seems that they tried to out do each other, with better and different designs.
The majority of these architectural wonders are located in the Tarn Department. I took the photo of this one in the city of Toulouse.

Nice picture. I've never seen such a thing. Very interesting.
It looks like something a child would play in, except there are no children present. Maybe you would think they were in school. Interesting, indeed.
