on the first buttresses of the Massif Central. These slopes offer varieties
of exceptional landscapes. The traces of human occupation go back to the
néolothique one: the hills are marked out stone low walls dry,
capitelles, vaults (dating from the Early middle ages at the XXème
century), strong castles at the top of the pechs around whose the villages
in circulade are held.
