Hiking
🧱 Their role and origins:
Delimitation of agricultural plots: These walls were used to mark the boundaries between plots of land, often used for growing vines or raising livestock.
Clearing stones from fields: Stones extracted from the limestone soils of the Causse were reused to build these walls, preventing them from interfering with crops.
Erosion protection: On the steep slopes of Puy Lagar, the walls stabilize the soil and limit runoff.
