It's almost 700 years old and has spent each
of those years balanced on a narrow corbelled wall. The Eschif in Périgueux, France was a
lookout for a toll bridge. It's an oak timber frame building
with wattle & daub infill built in 1347. The building is
balanced on the narrow ramparts of Puy-Saint-Front (the
medieval centre of Périgueux) supported on oak struts along
its length. Take a closer look at it on
