Former salt granary in Malleval

Former salt granary in Malleval
The former "Grenier à Sel" (salt granary) also called "Maison de Gabelle" with its facade angle, which is supported by giant stone crows and its double casement windows.
It's a picturesque medieval village with a collection of old, perfectly preserved houses on the slopes of steep hills and surrounded by vineyards. Some architectural styles are noteworthy, including the "house of the hanged man" and the strange bones in the facade. The remains of a castle and the church bear witness to the legacy of the 10th and 17th C.

MALLEVAL et l'ancien grenier à sel appelé également "Maison de Gabelle" avec son angle de façade, soutenu par d'immenses corbeaux de pierre et ses doubles fenêtres à battants.
C'est un village médiéval pittoresque avec une collection de vieilles maisons parfaitement conservées, cramponnées aux flancs de collines abruptes et entouré de vignobles. Certains styles architecturaux sont remarquables, notamment la "Maison du pendu" et les ossements étranges de la façade. Ou encore les vestiges d'un château et de l'église témoignent de l'héritage des Xe et XVIIe siècles.

Thanks Peter, this village is not really in the south, but in the Massif Central (nearby Saint Etienne). If ever you have the opportunity, don't miss the visit. All the best and a nice Sunday, Christa.
