It could also be called la cabane du vigneron (the grape grower's cabin). You see them here and there around us. This one is on the vineyard road behind our house. In the old days, these cabins were used for tool storage, as shelter from a hard rain, or as place to eat lunch, eliminating the need to go home and back at mid-day. This one's not used for much these days, but the grower keeps the vines that grow up its sides well pruned.
A hodgepodge of limestone and cinder blocks.
The weather is more of the same. I think the weather people believe that if they predict snow every day, we might actually get some. Ha.
Le cabanon is charming. I wonder how old this one is. It looks like it could be 300 or 30.
ReplyDeleteHi Walt, snow here in Châtillon en Diois this morning. Sometimes the forecasts are true!
ReplyDeleteMy fingers have been crossed for warmer weather for you for so long they may never uncross!

I think Mitchell is correct in his age estimate for this cabanon ;)
