Le four Banal du lieu-dit Les Hodouls

Historic site and monument, Historic patrimony, Bread oven in Saint-Crépin

  • Fountains and bread ovens were once indispensable elements of daily life. Today they are part of our vernacular heritage and allow us to better understand the life of our ancestors.

  • Bread ovens, like fountains, are an essential part of rural mountain life. Water and bread: a frugal daily food staple that was still relevant at the beginning of the 20th century. Each hamlet had its own oven. Bread was baked to preserve it for days or even weeks. A world apart from the baguette we know and love today.
