In Labastide-Saint-Georges, village located on the left bank of the river Agout and neighbor of the city of Lavaur, an emblematic dovecote, built in 1614 and protected as Historic Monuments in 1952, throne in the landscape. Indeed, called pigeonnier «du Travet» from the name of an adjacent old castle, as well as «the oldest of the Tarn», this pigeonnier is notably visible from the gardens of l'Evêché and from the platform located behind the cathedral Saint Alain de Lavaur. Built of fairground bricks, with double arcades around a central pillar with stairs and ogival vaults, it originally had 500 nest boxes, of which about 200 still remain today, made from pottery adjoining the four sides of the first floor wall.
