    🪨 The dry stone walls on Mount Pelée (Corrèze) are much more than just landscape features: they are silent witnesses to ancestral know-how and a deeply rooted rural history.
    🧱 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.

    Habitat for biodiversity: They shelter discreet microfauna (lizards, insects, mosses, lichens) and contribute to the ecological balance of the Causse.
