Ancestral know-how

Dry stone is a strong marker of the landscape of the Grand Site. Coming from the work of the earth, the stone is found in abundance in this territory which it warms with its pretty yellow color. Alternately a dwelling, a low wall or a cadole, the stone is used here to serve the inhabitants and their work.

Since 2019, the Grand Site has been carrying out a process of safeguarding, restoring and promoting its dry stone heritage. Between inventory, awareness-raising actions, federation of stakeholders and launch of pilot projects, this global environmental initiative is developed as part of a real territorial project. Find in the following pages the projects carried out to preserve unique know-how.
