Clédier de la Fontanelle

The clédier is a stone building of around ten square meters used to dry chestnuts. It can be round, square or rectangular in shape, and was used for individual or collective purposes. Clédier drying protected the breadfruit from the cold and damp, enabling it to be preserved and consumed until early summer. This heritage is typical of the Pays des Feuillardiers region. The Fontanelle in Cussac is a fine example, and can be enjoyed during a tour of the village or a relaxing break under the large chestnut trees in the Jardin des Félibres, behind the church.
