More information

Around 1950, it was decided to plant more than 600 Laricio pines.
In 2015, we say it was time to intervene to prevent the roots of these trees more than fiftieth do not further deteriorate the retaining walls of the terraces.

The faysses, or even the "clos", as our elders say, are of an exceptional quality and the central span of more than 200 steps, which serves the 17 levels is unique.

Some volunteers have begun to tidy up the cuttings and then clear the brush, while others are learning how to work the dry stone to repair the breaches that weather, pines and weather have caused.
