The “Teyssier” Oven

The remarkable thing about this oven from the XIX/XXth century is that it is composed of two parts.It consists of a vault and a hearth made in refractory bricks. And in front of this oven is a room where the wood for heating is kept. The clédier (upstairs) is made of chestnut. This was used to dry chestnuts and walnuts but was also used as a store for broom which, once dried, was used to light the oven. The oven still works regularly, which ensures it keeps all its authenticity.
