This is a witness to the manufacture of carrons, these characteristic bricks for construction in the Bresse and Dombes. The carrons were stored here to dry before going into the kiln and put to cool. It is from this carronnière that the carrons used for the construction of various buildings in Romenay (gate, watchtower, etc.) originate.
