In Vaucluse, the sites are more concentrated, more numerous and more diversified, Bollène has two troglodyte hamlets, ancient medieval villages. In the first, at Chabrières, where the habitat is completely ruined by collapses, the development was done by digging the so-called safre of Saint-Restitut, at the foot of the castrum. The second, Barry, inhabited until the 18th century, has dry stone facades protecting a complete layout entirely dug into the rock (kitchen, fireplace, sink stack, vegetable garden for heating food, alcoves, stable, stable, sheepfold, cellar, cistern, etc.)[19].

Absolutely impressive dilapidated village that was continuously inhabited from the Early Stone Age until after the Second World War.
