I have two references concerning the Cagots, and to the best of my memory,
neither says anything about their architectural talents, but about their
persecution. The modern one is Francoise Beriac _Des lepreux aux Cagots_
(Bordeaux 1990). The earlier one comes from my memory, and I can't remember
whether it was Chevalier or Sainean who wrote the book, nor can I find a
proper reference, but it's called, _Les races maudites_. Sorry for the
incomplete reference, but it's been years since I looked at the book!
All the best,
Esther Cohen
