Le four banal du hameau La Font

Historic site and monument, Historic patrimony, Bread oven, 18th C in Eygliers

  • Today we are still admiring this stone building covered with larch shingles but remember that in the past we did not eat hot baguette every morning!

  • When the oven was lit, each family took turns baking. The running order changed constantly, as there was no advantage in being first - they had to heat up the oven! And this consumed more wood. The bread was then stored for months on racks in a well-aired room. Over time, the bread would harden until it was impossible to cut. So it had to be torn before being added to milk or soup.
