La rue des Puces

Ce quartier de Vogüé, aux maisons très serrées, est la partie la plus ancienne du village historique (XlV ème siècle). Ces rues typiques coupées d’arcades, sont bordées par des maisons d’architecture diverse.

Certaines de ces maisons remontent au Moyen âge, d’autres accusent la période consécutive à la guerre de 100 ans (XV ème siècle), d’autres datent du lendemain des guerres de religion (XVll ème siècle).

Ces vieux logis scandent ainsi avec fidélité les grandes étapes de l’histoire architecturale du Vivarais.

Impression of the southern tip of Schokland around 1750

A beacon at sea In 1618, a turf-fired beacon was first set up on the southern tip of the island of Schokland. Then in 1635, it was replaced by a new square brick-built tower, with a grate at the top in which a coal fire was lit. In 1825, however, a storm tide raised the sea level 3 metres higher than usual, destroying the tower and 26 houses in the process.

Within the year, the 'Schokkers' built a round brick lighthouse on the same spot. The light was coal fired for the first few years, before being replaced by a paraffin lamp with prismatic lenses in 1845.

In 1856, a 12-metre-high metal beacon with a gas-fired lamp was built. The seabed was finally laid dry in 1942, and Schokland became part of the 'Noordoostpolder'. The lighthouse was demolished two years later.
