Photographic exhibition by Vicki Topaz at the Alliance Française.
“I discovered these centuries-old pigeon houses (pigeonniers or colombiers, in French) while traveling across northwestern France in 2002. I became intrigued by their architectural oddities (thousands of built-in niches line the circular walls to hold individual pigeon nests, for example), and by the stories behind them. So, over the course of four years, I made several journeys back to France to find and document these buildings with my Diana camera.”
