Le Pigeonnier de Ravenoville
UNUSUAL ACCOMMODATION NEAR THE BEACH
Come and enjoy an intimate and unique night in the Pigeon Tower! This majestic hexagonal building, which can accommodate up to two people, spreads across three levels, offering a large round living area and a charming bedroom with a private bathroom. On the walls, over 2000 nesting holes, once used by pigeons, have been fully preserved and restored.
In this decidedly extravagant and sensational place, with the feel of a hunting lodge, the warm-colored decor contrasts beautifully with the brick and stone walls, giving the space a deeply cozy atmosphere.
After a long day of strolling in the fresh air along the Normandy coast, whipped by the sea and the wind, what could be better than a peaceful evening in front of the fireplace before unwinding in the large round copper bathtub in the spacious bedroom on the first floor?
Whether with family or friends, enjoy this unique and unusual place for an unforgettable night in Normandy that you will remember for a long time.

Location History
The dovecote built in 1621 was habitable from the start of the 18th century. Abandoned for nearly one hundred and fifty years, Pierres d’Histoire started reconstruction in September 2013. From then on, Pierres d’Histoire’s concern was to remain as close as possible to the spirit of the place. Nearly two years of work were necessary to achieve both an architectural coherence and an unusual result. The construction site included the workmanship of a stone mason and a carpenter working hand in hand to bring new life to this exceptional place. Before starting the structural works, it was necessary to clean out the rubble from the dovecote as well as the hundreds of glass bottles left here and there by the Germans. Then came the trickier job of cleaning the two thousand pigeonholes. These holes filled with over one hundred years of bird droppings were a challenge to clean as one can imagine. Then the frameworks had to be refurbished and a new roof installed. Following this, staircases were built; one going from the basement to the ground floor, and the second from the ground floor to the first floor. Finally, so as to make the Dovecote comfortable, modern conveniences were installed in such a way so as to not detract from the beauty of the original materials.
