Jardin de l'Acclimatation



This pigeon house (pigeonnier) in Jardin de l'Acclimatation
was used during the siege of Paris in 1870
to send messages by carrier pigeon.


I do not know if pigeons are in
residence there today

    It's a structure that would be hard to find here!

    Well, the top floor would certainly have an excellent view of the garden and the woods that encompass Bois de Boulogne.

    Hummmmm... great idea!

    Fascinating bit of history (and a great shot too).
