Information from French Wikipedia: fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taennchel#L'%C3%A9nigme_du_mur_pa%C3%AFen
There are two different walls: the Mur païen, 2.3km long, whose origin some attribute to the Celts, others date to pre-Roman or Roman times, some to the Middle Ages. What is proven is: nothing.
And there is a more recent border wall, probably from the 15th century, that runs between the Rocher des Géants and the Carrefour du Rotzel.

It is a dry stone wall that stretches for 2.3 kilometers between Taennchel and the Rocher des Géants. Some attribute it to the Celtic period, others to the Middle Ages. The function is also uncertain, although it was a demarcation or a fortification wall.
The mystery remains.
