Jean Pierre Barbier - Bellancourt
In Bellancourt, between Abbeville and Ailly le Haut Clocher, I met Jean Pierre Barbier. Anyone who participates in International competitions cannot ignore his beautiful colony of pigeons. Jean Pierre has raced in La Société la Concorde D'Abbeville since 1972, which is in Region 2, specialising in Barcelona and Perpignan and since Barcelona International 1975 he has won:
Champion de la concorde d' Abbeville
Twice Champion of De L'Entente de L'Ouest
Champion du sous Groupement de la Somme
Vice Champion Picardy
Champion of France 1984
Represented France in four Sports Olympiads:
Amsterdam 1979
Prague 1983
Porto 1985
and Dortmund 1987

Jean Pierre says:
“Following a move I redid my colony in 1994, then rebuilt again in 2004 after a move. Since 2005 I mostly race the international competitions in which I stand honorably for two years in 2009 I was ranked 4th at the national price, and 23rd overall national and three pigeons, pigeon participated in the European Cup Dortmund 2010 when France finished fifth.”
The loft is 30 metres long, faces south and consists of nine compartments together with an aviary.
