structures on the plateaux of Vaucluse, which are often in the form of walls to structure the landscape or in the form of bories, little round huts that are characteristic of Southern France. The construction technique, which uses stones assembled without any binding agent, is on UNESCO&#8217;s representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity. What is less well known, is that many other structures were built in this way in Vaucluse, such as the Mur de la Peste (or plague wall).

These were first carefully stacked for storage were then reused in various structures. The most famous works are the little houses which, depending on their design, were used as shepherds&#8217; shelters, hunting huts or rural dwellings, as illustrated by the <a aria-label=\" le village des bories \u00e0 Gordes (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.provenceguide.com\/patrimoines-culturels\/gordes\/village-des-bories\/provence-2997164-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">bories village in Gordes<\/a>.<br>Classed as a historical monument in 1977, this is one of the most visited sites in Vaucluse.

It&#8217;s a beautiful snapshot of the rural habitat of the time, where coins bearing the effigy of Louis XIII, XIV and XV have been found, as well as pottery from Apt.<br>The troglodyte dwellings in Saumane de Vaucluse are also among the listed dry stone sites, as is the village of Barry in Haut Vaucluse.<br>Finally, Rocher de Saignon boasts a spectacular view over a number of stone buildings, lavender fields and the bories in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ai-blocks-link ai-blocks-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luberon-apt.fr\/les-bories-en-luberon\" class=\"ai-blocks-link__link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span>More information (fr)<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ai-blocks-block-3-columns-content-snacking col-md-5\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full block-3-columns__snacking-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"50\" height=\"59\" src=\"https:\/\/www.provenceguide.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/12\/saviez-vous.png\" alt=\"Did you know?\" class=\"wp-image-48\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading block-3-columns__snacking-heading\">Did you know ? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"block-3-columns__snacking-text\">The Parc Naturel du Luberon contains 1,610 bories across 11 communes.<br>Along the walk through the cedar forest 4 km from the village of Bonnieux, the bories enclave reveals the remains of a village.<br>More than 300 bories have been listed in the villages of Venasque, Le Beaucet and La Roque sur Pernes.<br>Photo spot: Plateau des Clapar\u00e8des, near Apt, where the bories stand on lavender fields<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ai-blocks-block-3-columns-image col-md-5\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large block-3-columns__image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"675\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.provenceguide.co.uk\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/15610-HOCQUEL_A_-_VPA-1600px-675x1024.jpg\" alt=\"dry stone in Luberon\" class=\"wp-image-5395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.provenceguide.co.uk\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/15610-HOCQUEL_A_-_VPA-1600px-675x1024.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.provenceguide.co.uk\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/15610-HOCQUEL_A_-_VPA-1600px-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/www.provenceguide.co.uk\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/15610-HOCQUEL_A_-_VPA-1600px-768x1166.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.provenceguide.co.uk\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/15610-HOCQUEL_A_-_VPA-1600px-1012x1536.jpg 1012w, https:\/\/www.provenceguide.co.uk\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/15610-HOCQUEL_A_-_VPA-1600px.jpg 1066w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ai-blocks-block-3-columns-inverse block-3-columns-inverse\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"block-3-columns-inverse__inner\"><div class=\"row justify-content-between  col-md-12\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ai-blocks-block-3-columns-inverse-layout col-md-12\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading block-3-columns-inverse__heading\">Elements of rural development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full block-3-columns-inverse__image col-md-5 float-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"570\" height=\"386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.provenceguide.co.uk\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/aiguiers-st-sat-apt.jpg\" alt=\"Terrasses de Cultures In Goult\" class=\"wp-image-5390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.provenceguide.co.uk\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/aiguiers-st-sat-apt.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.provenceguide.co.uk\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/aiguiers-st-sat-apt-300x203.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ai-blocks-block-3-columns-inverse-content row justify-content-between  col-md-7\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ai-blocks-block-3-columns-inverse-content-snacking col-md-5\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full block-3-columns-inverse__snacking-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"50\" height=\"59\" src=\"https:\/\/www.provenceguide.co.uk\/app\/uploads\/2019\/12\/detour.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading block-3-columns-inverse__snacking-heading\">Don&#8217;t miss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"block-3-columns-inverse__snacking-text\">Conservatoire des Terrasses de Cultures In Goult: winding staircases and a cistern dug into the rock make up this site on the hillside, set beside the bories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ai-blocks-block-3-columns-inverse-content-main col-md-6\">\n\n\n<p class=\"block-3-columns-inverse__text\">Beehives, cobbled paths and threshing floors have also been built with stone found on site.<br>Drainage tunnels, gutters, &#8216;aiguiers&#8217; (ancient covered water tanks, mainly found in Saint Saturnin les Apt) and cisterns for storing water or wine are other typical dry-stone structures.

Cabri\u00e8res d&#8217;Avignon between March and July 1721 by order of the papal vice-legate to protect the Comtat, Mur de la Peste was used as a health border until 1723. 27 km long and 2 m high,
