Today, we drove up the Vézère River to see the fortified house of Reignac, at a rock shelter into which houses have been built for centuries, in various forms. Doing so made the house more easily defensible, and gave inhabitants natural climate control. Rooms carved into the rock stored food, wine, and other supplies. The current house is stone...
Our favorite room was the kitchen...
The hearth...
A stone stove...
...and stone sink (drains to outside under window)...
Mouse trap?...
Cool rotary mixer...
Most interesting: the lockable bread cabinet...
