Dunes is found in the centre of south-west France, on the border of the regions Occitane and Nouvel-Aquitaine, and the departments Tarn-et-Garonne, Lot-et-Garonne and Gers. The landscape of the Tarn et Garonne is characterized by dovecotes that you notice on top of the hills or next to the farms. They come in different styles of construction, brick or stone or wood, simple or edited, round or square and built on one or more poles. Since the Middle Ages, pigeon manure was a source of income, initially intended only for the nobility. After the French Revolution of 1789, farmers received the permission to build them. Fortified cities, sanctuaries and castles testify to the development of "new towns" in the Middle Ages in the south-west from France. Characteristic are the covered market, the street plan in the checkerboard pattern, arcades and ramparts.
