11. Hotel Plein Sud Reviews January 23, 2011 The communal bread oven features centrally in each Serre Chevalier village; many are still in use today. The communal bread ovens occupy a key position in the rural villages of the Guisane Valley. They date back to mediaeval times when landlords were obliged to provide them for the villagers. However, most of the bread ovens in the valley were actually built between the 17th and 19th century by the villagers themselves.

This came to mind recently when I read that the eleven Benedictine monks of St. Augustine’s in Ramsgate, Kent, are to vacate the 148 year-old abbey which was built to accommodate forty men.
