The dovecotes

Vestiges of traditional agricultural activity in the country of France, the dovecotes of Gonesse are three in number. Those of Garlande and Orgemont rose again despite significant transformations in the 16^th century. That of the Coulanges farm has retained its internal arrangement dating from the 18^th century.
