Description
Summary:Twenty rural districts have been surveyed by the research workers of the Languedoc-Roussillon Inventaire. Examples shown here illustrate the wide range of territories, from the « mas » in the coastal plain, built before and after the wine-growing expansion era at the end of the 19th century, to the houses and villages in the Hérault valley. In the lower mountains covering the north of the Hérault and Lozère departments, the farms are concentrated in villages or hamlets where facilities shared by the inhabitants (bread-ovens, horse-shoeing devices…) can still be seen. Distinct also are the dwellings in the Causses, south of Larzac and Sauveterre, connected with sheepfarming, farms built in terraces in the Eastern Cevennes and the Margeride, in the northern boundaries of the region.
