Road Workers Hut

 

This little stone hut, curiously situated over a roadside ditch, can be glimpsed as you whiz past (on the D58 between Manthelan and Reignac sur Indre, from memory). It dates from the early 20th century and was built to provide shelter and storage for the Départemental roadworkers.

UPDATE -- RESPONSE TO COMMENTS

chm -- yes the same function, although the particularity of these roadworkers huts seems to be this vaulted bunker style rather than a tile roof.
