Wonderful photos, Delphisa. I love the stone house--it would be interesting to know when it was built. It looks like it will last longer than earth itself.

This house has been completely rebuilt a few years ago. Originally, it had been built in 19th century or maybe before; it was used as a mountain pasture farm, until 1914. Then it had been abandoned, and went to ruin. Only walls were still visible at end of 20th century. Entirely reassembled when renovation, the walls are made of granite and basalt, masonry in dry stone laid with sharp joint. These walls are not isolated, but, made up of two stone sidings, they nevertheless have a good insulation. I remember I had seen on internet some pictures of the ruins, before reconstruction, but now I can't find them anymore. I only found here a [url=http://sarldelort.com/buron-cap-combattut/]picture of the renovation, and a [url=https://www.pressreader.com/france/maison-et-travaux/20180119/284374084779354]press reprint about it - but in french, sorry!
Also in french, the house owner has a [url=https://www.buron-aubrac.fr]website with plenty of pictures...

Thank you for the extra info...fun to try to read some French! I love the photo of the long dining table in the arched room. The stonework is beautiful. I've always been attracted to stone structures.

...and funny, I've never visited a website (the news release) where the page scrolls from left to right instead of up/down.

Maybe it is also the durability and a direct connection to sister earth.

Of course, be careful what you are attracted to ...
